I've been digging through the build trying to eliminate dependencies older releases.
We've been inconsistently updating the versions in the examples, so I've gone
and fixed a few of those. We had some tools like the TomEE Patch Plugin
indirectly pulling 8.0.0-M3 artifacts -- now fixed.
One of the things adding to the issue is the use of `<version>[8.0,)</version>`
as the TomEE version in our examples.
This looks like a very well-intentioned way to get the latest version and avoid
always having to update versions in examples. What I'm seeing in practice is
that it behaves very inconsistently from example to example for reasons that
are unclear.
For example in the example `javamail-velocity` it downloads stuff from 8.0.7,
8.0.8, 8.0.9 and 8.0.10-SNAPSHOT. In fact if you build offline without those
versions in your m2 repo, you'll get a build failure. If you'd like to try,
here's a quick way to delete the last few releases while leaving your
8.0.11-SNAPSHOTs intact:
$ rm -r ~/.m2/repository/org/apache/tomee/*/8.0.{7,8,9,10}*
$ rm -r ~/.m2/repository/org/apache/tomee/bom/boms/8.0.{7,8,9,10}*
Ultimately this means our build is actually dependent on previous releases.
Here's the full list of old release binaries our build needs to function:

I don't see a way to eliminate these without eliminating our
`<version>[8.0,)</version>` usage.
Any thoughts?
