Description

Some POMs contain redundant information on the used Xtext version, e.g. xtext-core/releng/pom.xml

		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.eclipse.xtext</groupId>
			<artifactId>org.eclipse.xtext</artifactId>
			<version>2.15.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
		</dependency>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.eclipse.xtext</groupId>
			<artifactId>org.eclipse.xtext</artifactId>
			<version>2.15.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
			<classifier>sources</classifier>
		</dependency>

The version 2.15.0-SNAPSHOT can be replaced by ${project.version}.

This makes the changeset smaller when changing versions.

Research direction

Start with xtext-core/releng/pom.xml and search the other POMs for hard-coded Xtext versions such as 2.15.0-SNAPSHOT. Replace redundant version references with ${project.version}, then verify that all relevant POMs use the project version and that the resulting changeset contains only those updates.
