Description

Javadoc of CsvParameterLayout states that the class depends on a version of Apache Commons CSV which is older (1.2) than the current version (1.4) referenced by the main pom.xml.

CsvParameterLayout uses a method (org.apache.commons.csv.CSVFormat#printRecord) which is only available from 1.4 so that the current Javadoc is misleading.

Possible fixes including but not limited to:

• Generate version by using Maven source filtering option
• Remove the version number and keep the name of the dependency
• Simply update the version number
