Amélie Deltour commented on MVERSIONS-85:
-----------------------------------------
I would also need the use-latest-releases to behave like described in the table
http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/examples/advancing-dependency-versions.html
i.e. "Modifies -SNAPSHOT dependencies", "Considers releases" and "Picks
Latest".
Unfortunately the goal does not behave like this...
Either the goal behaviour should be changed, or a new goal created and the
table updated as it is misleading - I spent a lot of time trying to understand
why it did not work as I expected!
> Allow versions:use-latest-release to change "1.1-SNAPSHOT" to "1.0"

> Key: MVERSIONS-85
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MVERSIONS-85
> Project: Maven 2.x Versions Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.1
> Reporter: Matthew McEachen
> Fix For: Backlog
>
>
> 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"?
