Dion,
can you please use the newly created [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list (thanks, Sam) for this sort of topics?
Thanks and cheers, Erik

I just created a [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. Noel is the initial moderator.
If/when there is an infrastructure.apache.org set up, I'll move the list to there. (currently it is [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
If there is significant dissent, or the list falls into disuse, I'll simply delete the list.

I've gotten bit by the opposite problem (changing version number in a
JAR
filename causing broken build scripts) just as often.
Wouldn't a reasonable approach to this problem be to make searches for
"commons-foo.jar" return the latest released version, while searches for
"commons-foo-x.y.jar" would return that particular version? Then, you
can
have it either way. On the former, one might also support a mode that grabs the latest nightly instead of the latest reslease.
Maven has the concept of a 'SNAPSHOT' jar, which is the latest date-timestamped version of an artifact available.
If tell Maven you depend on a SNAPSHOT, at each build it checks to make sure you have the latest available, and downloads the new one if needed.
This however doesn't fix the problem, as people can change version numbers on jars to anything they want, possibly a fictitious release.
'LATEST' builds are often not reproducible as well. -- dIon Gillard, Multitask Consulting Blog: http://www.freeroller.net/page/dion/Weblog Work: http://www.multitask.com.au
