It could, but one of the main points of Gump is that you don't. In certain cases we know the HEAD of a project is going to develop into a direction that is going to break backwards compatibility and it is even intended to do so. In these cases we pick a branch (like we do for dom4j or did for commons-httpclient) or package up the version. > Indeed, no-one really wishes to work with the latest jaxen > currently. Will Jelly work against Jaxen 1.1? What are you going to tell your users who want to combine Jelly and Jaxen and want to use the latest released version of Jaxen? Next to (1) turn off nagging, (2) make Gump use a packaged version of Jaxen and (3) adapt to the changes in Jaxen there always is (4) make the Jaxen developers fix the breaking change. Note that I'm just stating the alternatives and to me (2) would be the worst option, since it meant closing the eyes and ignoring future problems. But whatever you deem appropriate, go ahead and modify Jelly's Gump descriptors.
