latest-maven-version

Check Maven Central for the latest version(s) of some maven coordinates.

Building

Prerequisites

This tool is build with Rust so you need to have a rust toolchain and cargo installed. If you don't, please visit https://rustup.rs/ and follow their instructions.

Building

The preferred way is to run:

make install

If you do not have a fairly recent make (on macOS, homebrew can install a newer version), or don't want to use make, you can also run cargo install --path ..

Usage

Run latest-maven-version --help for an overview of all available options.

The main usage is by providing maven coordinates in the form of groupId:artifact, followed by multiple :version qualifiers. These version qualifier are Semantic Version Ranges. For each of the provided versions, the latest available version on maven central is printed.

Default version

The version ranges can be left out, in which case the latest overall version is printed.

Multiple Version ranges

You can also enter multiple coordinates, each with their own versions to check against. The result is printed after all versions were checked successfully.

Pre Release Versions

Pre-releases can be included with the --include-pre-releases flag (or -i for short).

Version overrides

The versions are matched in order and a single version can only be matched by one qualifier. Previous matches will – depending on the range – consume all versions that would have also been matched by later qualifiers. Try to define the qualifiers in the order from most restrictive to least.

Examples

Matching against minor-compatible releases.

$ latest-maven-version org.neo4j.gds:proc:~1.1:~1.3:1
Latest version(s) for org.neo4j.gds:proc:
Latest version matching ~1.1: 1.1.4
Latest version matching ~1.3: 1.3.1
Latest version matching ^1: 1.2.3

Matching against major compatible releases. Note that 1.3 does not produce any match, as it is already covered by 1.1.

$ latest-maven-version org.neo4j.gds:proc:1.1:1.3:1
Latest version(s) for org.neo4j.gds:proc:
Latest version matching ^1.1: 1.3.1
No version matching ^1.3
Latest version matching ^1: 1.0.0

Inclusion of pre releases.

$ latest-maven-version org.neo4j.gds:proc:~1.1:~1.3:1 --include-pre-releases
Latest version(s) for org.neo4j.gds:proc:
Latest version matching ~1.1: 1.1.4
Latest version matching ~1.3: 1.3.1
Latest version matching ^1: 1.4.0-alpha02

Default version.

$ latest-maven-version org.neo4j.gds:proc
Latest version(s) for org.neo4j.gds:proc:
Latest version matching *: 1.3.1

$ latest-maven-version org.neo4j.gds:proc --include-pre-releases
Latest version(s) for org.neo4j.gds:proc:
