Looking in the Sonatype Maven book I see mention of the ability to specify the version of a dependency as LATEST or RELEASE (http://www.sonatype.com/books/maven-book/reference/pom-relationships-se ct-pom-syntax.html , 9.3.1.3)
However when I try this (I'm using 2.0.9 and Nexus) it doesn't seem to work and just tries looking for a version with the explicit name LATEST rather than using the repo's metadata. I don't see the concept of LATEST or RELEASE mentioned anywhere in the official Maven docs though (http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency- mechanism.html) Is this functionality actually in 2.0.9 or was it dropped (or indeed added in a later version)?
