How to make sure the local repository contains the latest version of
a specific artifact?
Hi,
I'm looking for a simple way to make sure my local repository contains
the latest version of a specific artifact (make Maven check the
corporate repository and download a newer version if available).
I guess I could create a POM containing a dependency on the artifact
and build that, but since I'd like to script that task, I wonder
whether there's a simpler solution, maybe through some plugin that I
haven't seen so far.
In case you're wondering why I want to do this, I'm considering to
abuse Maven as some sort of a package manager.
Cheers,
-Ralph.

Once I get my changes to m-release-p out and add two goals to v-m-p we'll be
able to develop with ranges and release locked down to pinned versions

But, for some reason he wants to always use the latest version and then
specifying with no upper limit could do the trick. However, I would never
use that for any build I'd like to be able to reproduce. In my case that
would be everything I use Maven for...:-)

Don't use ranges at all, sooner or later they will lead to ugly problems..
I would recommend to use the maven version plugin with or without properties as version placeholder.

http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/examples/update-properties.html
As long as you use the maven version convention, it will work like a charm.

Use ranges for specifying the version of the artifact?
