Geoffrey De Smet commented on MENFORCER-128:
--------------------------------------------
I am ok with any name change,
but I do think that "RequireHighestDependencyVersion" is simpler and clearer
then "RequireUpperBoundDependencies".
The term "Upper bound" is misleading and not standard knowledge for the average
programmer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_and_lower_bounds
> Fail the build if a dependency is overwriten with an incompatible lower
> version (patch)

> Overwriting a dependency to a lower version than any of your other
> dependencies need should fail the build if this new enforcer rule is active.
> For example, this is bad:
> {code}
> <dependencies>
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
> <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
> <version>1.4.0</version>
> </dependency>
> <dependency>
> <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
> <artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
> <version>0.9.9</version>
> <!-- Depends on org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.5.0 -->
> </dependency>
> </dependencies>
> {code}
> Attaching patch in a few minutes.
