I may be misunderstanding something, as I have still some problems
understanding artifact resolution in m2, but I thing the LATEST
keyword is useful in such a situation. AFAIK, the maven-metadata in
the repos contains pointers for latest (and release ?). This seems to
work for a whole artifact, whatever its version is.
This may means that if you need latest from head, you could say
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>surefire-report-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</dependency>
and it would be resolved using the metadata which may contain :
<metadata>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>surefire-report-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-beta-1</version>
<versioning>
<latest>2.0-beta-1</latest>
<release>2.0-beta-1</release>
<versions>
<version>2.0-beta-1</version>
<version>2.0</version>
</versions>
<lastUpdated>20051005032907</lastUpdated>
</versioning>
</metadata>
OTOH, if you need a specific version, you can just tell it in the pom
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>surefire-report-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
</dependency>
Not sure this means something, but the discussion is open...
