Using .in files it not a common practice in the java/maven world, and it 
would complicate working with the pom.xml files, as most developers and 
tools (eclipse, for example) assume that they can be modified directly.

Having a property in the root POM isn't possible either, at it will be a 
chicken-egg problem and the resulting POM files stored in the maven 
repositories will be incorrect.

Unfortunately the only alternative is modifying each POM file with each 
release number change. We don't do releases so frequently, so this is 
not a big issue.
