There are two different scenarios to consider:
1/ all submodules share the same development cycle and are released together: In this case the release plugin will happily adjust all the version numbers automatically.
2/ individual artifacts that are referenced with the version in the global POM: In this case I might keep the older version in the global POM while I already modify and restructure the other one without affecting all dependent artifacts immediately.
Last point: The release plugin will fail to update the version of your current project if it is defined by a property.
