How to always get latest version of the dependency?

[siegfried <si...@heintze.com>]

How do I always download the latest version of the dependency? So far, I've
always had to specify the version of the dependency I want.

Thanks,

Siegfried

You have to specify a version.  Maven does have the concept of
dependency ranges... I wouldn't do it myself, but maybe it makes sense
in your situation.

As Heinrich mentiones, snapshots are another option.

You always have to specify the version. This helps to get repeatable builds.

As long as your project is still in SNAPSHOT state, you can specify a
dependency version
as a SNAPSHOT as well (e.g. 1.0-SNAPSHOT). You will get then the
latest 1.0-SNAPSHOT available. But this works only, if the
updatePolicy of the repository containing the snapshots is  set to
more frequently than "never".
