Is there a way to say "get the latest version" in the project.xml file?

[laredotornado]

Hi,

I'm using Maven 1.1.  I have this dependency in my test/project.xml file ...

    <dependency>
        <groupId>myco.dor.dmv.driver.matching</groupId>
        <artifactId>myco-dor-dmv-driver-matching-client</artifactId>
        <version>${pom.currentVersion}</version>
    </dependency>

However, there is no "${pom.currentVersion}" of this particular dependency at this time.  Is there a way to say "get the latest version" without hard-coding the version?  Not sure how maven would know, but I thought I'd through it out here to the experts.

Thanks,  - Dave

In your dependency, you might be able to do something like this:

<version>[0.0.1,)</version>

which means any version greater than or equal to 0.0.1.  However, this depends on your Maven version because I think it's relatively new.

There is no way to do that in maven 1.x (and for a good reason). See
http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/using/managing-dependencies.html#Using_SNAPSHOT_Dependencies
