How do I tell Maven to use the latest version of a dependency?

Question

In Maven, dependencies are usually set up like this:

  wonderful-inc         


        

Answer 1

Who ever is using LATEST, please make sure you have -U otherwise the latest snapshot won't be pulled.

mvn -U dependency:copy -Dartifact=com.foo:my-foo:LATEST
// pull the latest snapshot for my-foo from all repositories
