Make your POM upgradeable. For example:
As you can see, I haven't updated in a while. Oh well.
Do this and you can switch versions just by changing the properties and doing a "mvn clean" and build. That way if you don't like a specific version you can easily change it without breaking the POM.
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
