<allowIncrementalUpdates> boolean 2.15.0

Whether to allow the incremental version number to be changed.

Note: false also implies allowMajorUpdates and allowMinorUpdates to be false


Default: true
User Property: allowIncrementalUpdates
<allowMajorUpdates> boolean 2.15.0 Whether to allow the major version number to be changed.
Default: true
User Property: allowMajorUpdates
<allowMinorUpdates> boolean 2.15.0

Whether to allow the minor version number to be changed.

Note: false also implies allowMajorUpdates to be false


Default: true
User Property: allowMinorUpdates
<allowSnapshots> boolean 1.0-alpha-1 Whether to allow snapshots when searching for the latest version of an artifact.

<extensionExcludes> List<String> 2.15.0

Specifies a comma-separated list of GAV patterns to NOT consider when looking for updates. If the trailing parts of the GAV are omitted, then can assume any value.

This list is taken into account after extensionIncludes

.

The wildcard "*" can be used as the only, first, last or both characters in each token. The version token does support version ranges.

Examples: "mygroup:artifact:*", "mygroup:artifact", "mygroup"
