Hi, The reason for I thinking about not having version component in the <dependency> tag might result in a better version control in terms of same version being used across the different modules of the project. Though not very sure if I am genuine enough when I think that.
Actually when I want to avoid dependency versions, I want to do it in context of an individual project(irrespective of chil-parent relationship).My question was that for instance if I am using commons-logging in my dependency <dependencies> ... <groupId>commons-logging</groupId> <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId> <version>1.0.4</version> <dependencies> Is there a way around to avoid the version component so that the latest version gets fetched from the repository? And as Wayne pointed out , is it a good thing to think about?
