versions-maven-plugin How to ignore alpha beta release candidate and milestone versions

versions-maven-plugin: How to ignore alpha, beta, release candidate, and milestone versions

Introduction

The versions-maven-plugin, by default, does not ignore versions ending with qualifier strings when searching for the latest version of an artifact.

For example, versions ending with -alpha.14, -beta3, -M-2, and -RC1 will be considered as valid upgrade candidates.

Suppose your project depends on version 3.2.1 of a certain artifact and then 3.3.0-beta is released. The versions-maven-plugin will, by default, consider that to be a valid upgrade.

Using maven as a downloader

Using maven as a downloader

I needed to download Oracle JDBC jar files for use with my database query tool. Oracle JDBC drivers have been available in the public official Maven repository since September 15, 2019. They extended it to include all supported releases in February, 2020. (link1 [link2] [link3] [link4]).
