Hi Ron, Thanks for your reply.
I know putting the required version in top level in pom will work. But I don't want to "hard code" any specific version in the top level pom. Let me illustrate by an example what I want to achieve - Suppose my project A depends on project B and project C. And project B and C depend on abc.jar, but different versions B -> abc-1.1.jar C -> abc-1.2.jar When I build project A, I want to get highest version of abc.jar, in this case, it will be MAX(1,1, 1.2), so it is 1.2. I can put the dependency abc-1.2.jar in my top level pom. The problem is later my project A may depend on extra projects, say project D, that in turns depend on abc-1.3.jar. So I would like Maven to *dynamically* get the highest version of abc.jar in the whole dependency tree (but not necessary the latest one in the respository). How can I achieve this? Thanks.
