> While code reviewing [~natashan]'s https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/927 I thought again about the exchange we had with [~xurror] during FINERACT-805 re. our use of "+" versions in our build.gradle - and decided that this seems like something we really should have a dedicated new issue for...
> Unless I misunderstand something (which is possible), our current use of '+' could actually be source of future build instability (if they indeed cause the "latest available version" to be used, instead of a fixed one). Therefore to me this seems to be more of a Blocker than just some nice to have...
> What I'm not super clear about is what exactly that '+' means. Is it the latest version from the fixed version of the Spring BOM? Then it would actually be fixed, right? Or is it the latest (major/minor?) version available on Maven Central? Then it would be (very) unstable.. It would be good for someone to be able to find an authoritative link to some doc about this.
> Would it make sense to replace all our usages of '+' versions in build.gradle with fixed versions? Or is this not required? -- And if we do, let's clarify that inline comment I put on top of the file to be more clear and directive (replace "we should also avoid" by "do not use").
> [~awasum] [~ptuomola] [~Percy Ashu] any input to this? Interest in taking this?
