maven-metadata.xml : release vs. latest
Hello,
what is the difference between these two tags?
Say I deploy two versions 1.1 and 1.2 in this order. What should I expect
for release and latest? My expectation would be to see 1.2 for both.
Say I deploy 1.2 and later on 1.1. Now my expectation would be 1.2 for
latest and 1.1 for release.
Do plugins like the versions-maven-plugin or requests for LATEST in e.g.
Nexus read this information or do they use the "natural" order (1.2 > 1.1)
for getting latest?
Could someone please shed a light :-D .
Regards Mirko

OK, thanks for the answer. And what about the plugins-section in
org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-metadata.xml? Deprecated as well?

1. Both of these tags are deprecated because they are a load of crap
and useless.
2. Here is what they mean:
LATEST => The most recently deployed version
RELEASE => The most recently deployed non -SNAPSHOT version
Crappy aren't they!
3. Versions-maven-plugin does not pay any heed to those two tags
4. Maven 3.x does not pay any heed to those tags
5. They were meant for <plugin>s only not regular dependencies.
