This is an attempt to improve the latest version selection on Sonatype OSS Nexus Repository. Currently, there is no guarantee that the latest version tags will be updated on each deployment. See this for details.
This is an issue since some tools and services such as javadoc.io, seem to rely on these tags to select the latest version of an artifact correctly. As such, this change tries to address this by using prerelease versions that are friendly to Nexus as described here. Specifically, this changes from using
dev
as a prerelease tag torc
.Hopefully, with this change, if the
maven-metadata.xml
gets rebuilt by Nexus, the latest tag will be updated correctly. This issue provides more details on how and who updates themaven-metadata.xml
file.
