Plugin and extension versions are optional in Maven pom. Not providing the version has a small advantage - it defaults to RELEASE and pulls up the latest release automatically.
While it's possible that a plugin version would have backward incomplete changes, in Lift we hardly do anything complicated to be affected drastically. We could always 'pin' a version for the odd plugins that were affected. Thus, I wanted to give that a go. This works well from the CLI (typically what I use for build). The intent for tweaking the poms were primarily to: - reduce the size of pom by discarding the optional/default settings - remove redundant settings in multiple pom - add some inline docu to stop one running away from a pom.xml - contribute a little in making maven not 'download the internet' Too bad the IDEs are not co-operating! Thanks Kris/David for raising this. I am going to add versions for all the plugins and extensions tonight. Unstable pom.xml is the last thing we want (even if that means redundant/optional settings make their way into the poms).
