What is the proper way to deprecate a sub module in maven project?

I have a maven project having child projects.

Sample representation:

parent 

  core
   -src
   -pom.xml

  projA
   -src
   -pom.xml

  projB

    projB1 
     -src
     -pom.xml

    projB2
     -src
     -pom.xml

  projC
   -src
   -pom.xml

pom.xml (parent pom)

This is an open-source project. In the next release, I want to deprecate projB2. I don't want to increase it's version.

How should I do it?

To further clarify, say all of my projects(core, projA, projB1, projB2, projC) are at version 1.2.

In next release, I want to increase the version of core, projA, projB1, projC to 1.3 and projB2 to remain at 1.2 as this is the deprecated project.

I think the best solution to this is the class relocation in Maven. Please read the relocation part of the page, whose link is below.

http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.2.1/maven-model/maven.html#class_relocation

In addition to this, somebody asked a similar question to you. The comments in the link would also help you find out a solution.
