how to get the latest build for dependency
I have to 2 java projects a and b in maven. The B project uses the A build
as a dependency. How do I ensure the whenever the A project has a new
build, the B project will always use that latest build in A. A is being
built with a unique build number each time it gets built. So is A has
build # 10 as the newest build, the B project has to use build #10 of A.

The problem with just using SNAPSHOT is that, we need to build A with its own unique build number for versioning purpose.
In your other comment, if I use the minimum version, do I still have to always update the pom file in the B project so it gets the minimum version of build A ?

Unless you're actually releasing the builds, just use SNAPSHOT.
Otherwise use [minimumVersion, ) and it will resolve to the latest.

I'm sorry. I wasn't referring to using "mvn
versions:display-dependency-updates" as a bad practice. That tool is really
helpful. What I meant to identify as not being a good practice is to use
dependency ranges [,).

Why is that bad practice?

- The display-dependency-updates goal will check all the dependencies
used in your project and display a list of those dependencies with newer
versions available.
