Hi all, I'd like to take a stab at adding support for Maven to be able to mediate dependency conflicts using "highest version" strategy rather than "nearest definition".
I'll be happy if anyone can point me in the right direction on which source files I'll need to modify, and any other guidance. Also, how long do you expect such a task would take for a competent developer? Finally, I'm curious to know what are the chances of a patch being accepted when I'm done? I'll of course do it in such a way that the default remains "nearest definition", and this new strategy has to be enabled with a setting in settings.xml or something. Thanks, Phillip Hellewell
