Thanks for your response Ben, I've considered this workaround, but I need a way to always pick the latest build of a dependend project. I know there are "SNAPSHOT" Builds but those break the paradigm "a revision never changes". Even if I used snapshot build, for each release I would have to pull a release for each dependency to get a "Snapshot Free" release. Or is this done automatically by the release plugin?
