if you have one company pom...

and 17 projects to release....and those 17 projects each use a
snapshot version of the company pom..

you currently need to checkout all 17 poms, edit the parent pom to a
released version and check them in.  you have to do that using hte
maven-release-plugin and you have to do that for continuum release as
well.

if you have one company pom, and a project with 17 submodules (and
this subprojects have no snapshot versions that are not in those 17/18
modules being released) then you only need to update the one parent
project pom to resolve the company pom to a released version and the
release process will take care of resolving all internal snapshot
version to the (soon to be released) version.

does that help?
