No, it will use the versions you have defined (unless you are using SNAPSHOTs, but you cannot release anything depending on a SNAPSHOT anyway). However, it will try to use newer plugins, therefore you should define a fix version in the pluginManagement section. [snip] > 3.)

It is no good idea to use ranges if it means that it includes versions you don't know (yet). Use fix versions and let Maven decide. The same Maven version will always decide in the same way. > Are there any other ways to setup maven projects to get repeatable > builds with dependencies? Use a company repository for the downloaded artifacts and save that in a backup. - Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
