Description
The versions-maven-plugin is not updating dependency versions in the properties section of the parent POM when the dependency is declared in a child POM. The command used was:
org.codehaus.mojo:versions-maven-plugin:2.18.0:update-properties -DallowSnapshots=false -DgenerateBackupPoms=false -DallowMajorUpdates=false -DallowMinorUpdates=false -DallowIncrementalUpdates=true
This command works correctly when the dependency is defined directly in the parent POM, but fails to update the version in the properties section when the dependency is declared in a child POM, even though the version is managed in the parent's properties. This behavior is unexpected. Could you please investigate why the plugin is not updating the parent POM's properties in this scenario?
