dependency without version - is it possible?

[Feilpe Vieira Silva <fg...@gmail.com>]

How can I include a dependency in my project.xml without specify the version?

example: I need a framework dependency but I don´t matter which
version - in fact I prefer to use the last release of the such
framework. How can I define it? snapshot?

Hi,

Use the jar override in the project.properties file:

maven.jar.override=on
maven.jar.{jarname}=../thirdparty/{jarname}.jar

{jarname} gets replaced with the  jar artifactId that you specified in
the project.xml dependency.

Using the jar override ignores the  version tag.

Actually, if you can use SNAPSHOT, that's the best bet.
