Description
**[abhishek sinha](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=abhsinh2)** opened **[MDEP-526](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-526?redirect=false)** and commented
In my pom, I have specified version range in properties like:
[1.3.16, 1.4.0-SNAPSHOT)
Currently copy and copy-dependency goals will copy latest SNAPSHOT jar to specified output directory.
My requirement is to have have a configuration which allows to copy latest released jar from the specified version range.
I checked out source code for maven-dependency-plugin and did some modification to make it work. So if this improvement is accepted then how can I contribute to the solution I have.

Research direction
Start by locating the copy and copy-dependencies goals and how they resolve version ranges. Define the configuration needed to select the latest released, non-SNAPSHOT artifact within the range, then verify that both goals copy that artifact while preserving current behavior.
