Hello, I don't think the "largest version detect" is done on the Repo. Maven central offers all available versions in the metadata, and Maven locally resolves the highest version (when latest is used)
Also since Maven central is supposed to be immutable a new coordinate sooner or later is the only way to avoid everybody having to manually block the offender. (And of course always specifying a specific version in POMs) Bernd -- http://bernd.eckenfels.net ________________________________ Von: Gary Gregory <garydgreg...@gmail.com> Gesendet: Sunday, June 14, 2020 4:58:27 PM An: Commons Developers List <dev@commons.apache.org> Betreff: Re: [io] can we delete release 20030203.000550 in maven central? I suppose you can ask Sonatype to offer a sort by release date feature on that kid of query result.
