Maven: multiple versions for provided dependency

Question

Hi i need to declare a provided dependency in maven which can be more versions.

For example it can be v1.3 or v1.4 or v1.5.

How can I declare/represent multiple versions in a single notation ?

I am coding a Addon for Vaadin. Therefore i need the vaadin-server dependency in my project. but i don't want my addon to be bound on a particular version. — downdrown, Apr 14 '15 at 06:07

Maven supports dependency range, this worked for me

    <dependency>
        <groupId>junit</groupId>
        <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
        <version>[4.9,4.10]</version>
    </dependency>

it chooses highest available

In maven you should always use version element for example:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
    <artifactId>guava</artifactId>
    <version>17.0</version>
</dependency>

If you want to use latest version of some plugin you should read this question answer How do I tell Maven to use the latest version of a dependency?.
