Related to this I wonder if Gradle has some API to check the latest version available for a given dependency.
E.g. having this:
dependencies {
compile "commons-lang:commons-lang:2.+"
}
and then in a task to display the latest version available in the 2.+ scope.
The use case for this might not be interesting for everybody, but in our project we are using this 2.+ and using a external forcedModule config we are ‘locking’ the version. Now it would be nice to be able to check the latest version available and print then. Don’t know the Gradle has a convenient API for that?
