yes... put you probably want: use-releases.... use-___-versions will consider both -SNAPSHOT and non-SNAPSHOT for any dependency use-___-releases will consider only newer releases of only -SNAPSHOT dependencies use-___-snapshots will consider only newer -SNAPSHOTs of only release dependencies use-next-____ will only consider the next version within the update scope you specify. use-latest-___ will only consider the absolute newest version within the update scope you specify. the available versions are 1.1.2-SNAPSHOT, 1.1.2, 1.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.3, 1.3.1, 1.4, 1.4.1, 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.1.0, 2.2-SNAPSHOT your current version is 1.1.1 use-next-versions -> 1.1.2-SNAPSHOT (if allowSnapshots, otherwise 1.1.2) use-latest-versions -> 2.2-SNAPSHOT (if allowSnapshots, otherwise 2.1.0) use-next-release -> 1.1.2 use-latest-release -> 2.1.0 use-next-snapshots -> 1.1.2-SNAPSHOT use-latest-snapshots -> 1.1.2-SNAPSHOT (if allowMajorUpdates=false otherwise 2.2-SNAPSHOT) use-releases -> 1.1.1 (because it's already a release) your current version is 1.3-SNAPSHOT use-next-versions -> 1.3 use-latest-versions -> 2.2-SNAPSHOT (if allowSnapshots, otherwise 2.1.0) use-next-release -> 1.3 use-latest-release -> 2.1.0 use-next-snapshots -> 1.3-SNAPSHOT (if allowMajorUpdates=false otherwise 2.2-SNAPSHOT) use-latest-snapshots -> 1.3-SNAPSHOT (if allowMajorUpdates=false otherwise 2.2-SNAPSHOT) use-releases -> 1.3 -Stephen > Best regards, > Eric > > P.S.
