I would like to comment on Tim's answer here (https://stackoverflow.com/a/1172805/1746310) but because of my reputation I can't, I wrote it as an answer, saying that I wanted to comment, but can't because of my reputation. That message then got deleted by ChrisF (https://stackoverflow.com/users/59303/chrisf) saying it's not an answer and I should write a comment... I can't find words for this.
Whatever, this is the plugin I'm talking about: http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/ From my understanding use-latest-version will include beta versions, while use-latest-release won't. Because of that I am using use-latest-releases but it keeps updating to beta versions. I tried maven clean after changing my pom.xml back to what it was before, but still when I do run as -> maven install it updates to beta versions. Is my understanding of the used words wrong? What do I have to do to NOT get the beta versions, but the latest release version of the used dependencies?
