Building multimodule maven project

Question

Hi I've searched the net, read a bunch of articles, so questions and documentation but I can not find solution, here is my problem.

I have a multimodule maven project which contains three modules A,B and C. A and B independent and C is depend on A and B, and of course I have a parent project. I also have a jenkins server set up to build these projects, and a nexus repository.

My problem is that when I build the project the maven builds A and B correctly but for C it downloads an older artifact from the nexus repository and of course it fails to build module C. How can I make the maven to use the currently built jars which installed into the local repository instead of the older ones on nexus?

Version of A and B and C set to 1.1.{build_number}-SNAPSHOT with maven version plugin, and as I understand maven should use the newer from local but it does not do it. Initially I do not want to post hundreds of lines of pom.xmls but if you need section I will provide it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank You!

I have been setting the version numbers in the submodule's poms and changed to inherit version number from parent pom. In module C's pom module A and B versions set to ${project.version}
