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 :) -Guo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
