Version bumping is where the
maven process updates the version number, like from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2. That's one of the useful features of the release goals.
You still seem to have a misdefinition on a dependency. It appears like you set up something like this:
"com.project." isn't a proper group id. It would typically be something more like "com.project.mvntest".
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.
