Given that ‘latest.integration’ and ‘latest.release’ almost certainly won’t work, we may as well map to ‘LATEST’ and ‘RELEASE’ when we can. We should also change the pom parsing code to understand these, so we can use a generated pom in another Gradle build. > > > On parsing: I hardly believe you do all do dependency tree calculation > without such a class. :S But i clearly miss something.

However, you have to parse the string every time you want to ask a question about a selector string, instead of parsing it once and then passing around some representation of the parsed string. -- Adam Murdoch Gradle Co-founder http://www.gradle.org CTO Gradleware Inc. - Gradle Training, Support, Consulting http://www.gradleware.com
