Description

Description

Currently when adding a non-platform extension, the version is hard-coded:

<dependency>
      <groupId>io.quarkiverse.web-bundler</groupId>
      <artifactId>quarkus-web-bundler</artifactId>
      <version>1.3.1</version>
    </dependency>

It would be nice to have the version as a property instead:

...
<properties>
    ....
    <quarkus-web-bundler.version>1.3.0</quarkus-web-bundler.version>
</properties>
...
<dependency>
      <groupId>io.quarkiverse.web-bundler</groupId>
      <artifactId>quarkus-web-bundler</artifactId>
      <version>${quarkus-web-bundler.version}</version>
    </dependency>

I guess this could also be done when adding an extension on an existing project.

Research direction
Investigate the Maven plugin code that generates project pom.xml files. The version for non platform extensions is hardcoded; a property like ${quarkus web bundler.version} should be introduced. Look for similar property patterns in the codebase, and ensure the property is set based on the extension's version. Check the related comments in the issue for additional context.
