Name Type Since Description
<allowDowngrade> boolean 2.15.0

Whether to downgrade a snapshot dependency if allowSnapshots is false and there exists a non-snapshot version within the range fulfilling the criteria.

Only valid if allowSnapshots is false.


Default: false
User Property: allowDowngrade
<allowSnapshots> boolean 1.0-alpha-1 Whether to allow snapshots when searching for the latest version of an artifact.
Default: false
User Property: allowSnapshots
<changeRecorderFormat> String 2.11 The format used to record changes. If "none" is specified, no changes are recorded.
Default: none
User Property: changeRecorderFormat
<changeRecorderOutputFile> File 2.11 The output file used to record changes.
Default: ${project.build.directory}/versions-changes.xml
User Property: changeRecorderOutputFile
<excludeReactor> boolean 1.0-alpha-3 Whether to skip processing dependencies that are produced as part of the current reactor.
Default: true
User Property: excludeReactor
<excludes> String[] 1.0-beta-1 A list of artifact patterns to exclude. Follows the pattern "groupId:artifactId:type:classifier:version". This configuration setting is ignored if excludesList is defined.
<excludesList> String 1.0-beta-1 A comma separated list of artifact patterns to exclude. Follows the pattern "groupId:artifactId:type:classifier:version". Designed to allow specifying the set of excludes from the command line. When specifying excludes from the pom, use the excludes configuration instead.

Example: "1\.0\.1,.+-M.,.*-SNAPSHOT"

Currently, this parameter will override the defined ruleSet
