Why version number in maven dependency is skipped at times?
问题 I am fairly new to maven's capabilities.. I have seen that in pom.xml where dependencies are put, at times, only groupID and artifact id are mentioned and version is skipped. why is this? For example the below dependency is from springsource website http://spring.io/guides/gs/authenticating-ldap/ <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
