And to add a small thing about Justing just said: Maven determines which version to use looking at the "closeness".
So, if you want a particular version, the best way is to specify it in the wanted artefact (say in the war, for you). Btw, mvn dependency:list will also show you what is finally select as dependencies. Cheers. 2008/12/12 Edelson, Justin <justin.edel...@mtvstaff.com> > This may or may not be the expected behavior.
