https://cwiki.apache.org/MAVEN/maven-3x-compatibility-notes.html#Maven3.xCompatibilityNotes-PluginMetaversionResolution You are correct it is depricated as of 3.x. It has generally been thought of as bad practice to use latest as you never really knew what version you were dependent on and for non-CD approaches this makes complete sense. In CD I think it embodies exactly what you do want, the latest code that has passed a certain phase of the pipeline. RELEASE would probably be better, but alas it is depricated as well. I think it is unfortunate that this was removed from Maven 3 as it was valuable in certain circumstances and now that CD is hitting the big time it would be useful. I don't like the idea of specifying the top end of the version range becasue I am not in control of when the team I am dependent on updates their major version number. I might not catch the change and continue development against old versions, this would effectively render my CI environment useless. -- View this message in context: http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Continuous-Delivery-and-Maven-tp3245370p3259341.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
