Jean-Pierre Froud commented on MENFORCER-190:
---------------------------------------------
This rule can be very useful here. Teams are working on many maven projects
and, at the end, these projects are dependencies of a maven EAR project.
There's a pom project that contains essentially a {{dependencyManagement}}
section. This pom's goal is to describe the latest tested release versions that
will go to the EAR project. And this pom is also used by the projects to
describe the versions to use.
This rule would help to avoid problems like:
{{ProjectA}} latest good release version is 2.0 (breaks compatibility with
previous 1.2 version), thus version 2.0 of {{ProjectA}} is added to the project
describing versions (let's call it {{versionsPom}})
{{ProjectB}} needs {{ProjectA}}. {{ProjectB}} is currently using 1.2 version of
ProjectA. It means {{ProjectB}} isn't using the latest version of
{{versionsPom}}.
{{ProjectB}} will release a version using a version of {{ProjectA}} which is
incompatible with the version of {{ProjectA}} that will be in the final EAR.
[Versions Maven Plugin|http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/] is a
manual solution, an enforcer rule would be much better.
> Rule to guarantee that the newest released version of an artifact will be
> used.

> It would be nice having a rule which guarantees having always the newest
> release of the project dependencies.
> It would also handy having a configuration option to limit this to a
> particluar groupId/artifactId (may be wildcards)...
