This does not necessarily include a specific version. “Instructions for including the library as a dependency in Maven / Leiningen” A link to eg. mvnrepository.com satisfies this for Maven Central. “Links to the available releases on Maven Central and oss.sonatype.org” Actually not providing a specific version in the dependency explanation would force people to understand what they are doing. I would prefer library authors spending time on writing good documentation for their libraries instead of serving trivial information on a silver platter. Anyway, this is bike shedding. Kind regards Meikel
