We probably should always use fixed artifact version for
plugin/dependencies instead of automatically resolve. Nick's problem
won't happen if we have fixed version associated with rat plugin. The
auto resolve are the main source to make maven build unreliable. We
may make sure current latest version works on our trunk code base, but
no confidence to tell it still works for next coming version.

This practice was used in jackrabbit project as well:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/parent/trunk/pom.xml

Just a suggestion, it will take time to do it :)
