versions?

I've never got a straight answer to this -- or maybe I did and I've
forgotten.

I see all of these things that all eventually become "10.0-SNAPSHOT" in
pom files:

${glassfish.version}
${project.version}
${parent.version}
"10.0-SNAPSHOT"

It seems that they are almost randomly selected.

E.g. in one Pom file I observed that the project had
<version>10.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

but later in the pom ${glassfish.version} was used as a version string.

*** What's the rule for the version to use -- for us regular mortals
that are not doing any fancy maven footwork?
