Description

Currently we support the usage of LATEST and RELEASE as versions for dependencies. We should encourage users to use real versions or if they really like use version ranges...

public interface Artifact
    extends Comparable<Artifact>
{

    String RELEASE_VERSION = "RELEASE";

    String LATEST_VERSION = "LATEST";
