Gradle uses Ivy syntax internally, and in the DSL. For poms, it translates from Maven to Ivy syntax when it parses the pom and passes Ivy version strings around from there. We don’t want to start supporting ‘RELEASE’ and ‘LATEST’ for Ivy or in the Gradle DSL. So, we want to add the understanding of ‘RELEASE’ and ‘LATEST’ to the pom parsing only. > > >> >> >> On parsing: I hardly believe you do all do dependency tree calculation >> without such a class. :S But i clearly miss something.
