newbie ques: downloading latest stable jars

[Theodore Watson-3]

I understand that maven will download jars from remote repositories.  As I far
as I can see, human intervention is required to ensure that maven builds with
the latest jars from these repositories.

Is there a current mechanism or future plans for automating this process, so
that whenever maven is ran, the project is given the latest stable releases
of its dependencies?

I apologize if I missed an obvious detail in my reading.

Thanks.

Right now you can either:

Manually set the version of the dependency to
retrieve,

or

You can change your dependencies to be SNAPSHOT. This
ensures you get the latest version (with a version of
SNAPSHOT), not necessarily the latest STABLE
dependency...

Hope that helps...

This is a feature that will be fully supported by Maven 2.0.
