[jira] (MENFORCER-51) build failure in case of available updates

["Robert Scholte (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MENFORCER-51?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=326272#comment-326272 ] 

Robert Scholte commented on MENFORCER-51:
-----------------------------------------

Although this may look like a nice feature, there's a potential danger here.
Suppose the latest version of a parent/dependency/plugin introduces a bug, which is exposed during the build-time of your project, then you can't build/test/package (and release!) it.
Or even worse: the latest version introduces a security-bug at runtime without being noticed. Once it is in your local repo you're doomed.
In my opinion this should be solved the repository manager. There you should be able to specify version-ranges which can or cannot be used. When _deploying_ your project, the repository manager should analyze the pom.xml for blacklisted dependencies/plugins/parents and fail the deploy in such case.

> It would be useful to have a possibility to fail build if there's an update of given dependency.
> In some way it would 'solve' problem of 'how to depend of latest stable version of my company parent pom' problem - build would just not pass
> if there's an update.
