Kalecser Pasquali Kurtz commented on MVERSIONS-85:
--------------------------------------------------
I have the same need Matthew has, to downgrade a non-released snapshot
dependency.
It would be misleading to change use-latest-release to 'downgrade'
dependencies. IMHO The problem with use-latest-release auto-downgrade is when
you forgot to release the dependency and your artifact end up with an undesired
old version.
What do you guys think of creating a parameter -DallowSnaphotsDowngrade=true?
> Allow versions:use-latest-release to change "1.1-SNAPSHOT" to "1.0"

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.1
> Reporter: Matthew McEachen

> I've just started using the versions plugin -- very nice work, guys!
> In trying out several of the goals, I applied "use-latest-snapshots" for
> internal project dependencies, just on the off-chance that the project would
> have new builds, we'd pick up those changes automatically. So, for example,
> my pom.xml now depends on 1.1-SNAPSHOT for a "company-common" project.
> Come release time for my project, though, several of the projects won't have
> bothered to do a release, as there wasn't anything to release, so I want to
> revert to 1.0 for "company-common".
> The versions plugin in this use case leaves me high and dry -- the
> "versions:use-latest-release" won't "downgrade" the 1.1-SNAPSHOT version to
> 1.0, and the maven release plugin will puke due to my SNAPSHOT dependency.
> Can we add a configuration property to support "use latest release, even if
> that means an older version than the current version"?
