This is simply incorrect. Alpha and Beta are considered releases. For stable builds, you are strongly encouraged to lock down the plugins you are using in the pom.xml file. Otherwise, you may experience troubles like this when Maven auto-updates a plugin and breaks/changes functionality you were using, or a new bug is introduced, etc. Wayne --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
