Version change doesn't work

[runningman84]

I have a wrapper cookbook with some custom attributes:

# attributes:
override[:java][:jdk_version] = '7'
override[:elasticsearch][:version] = '1.4.2'
# recipe:
include_recipe "java"
include_recipe "elasticsearch"

But the elasticsearch still uses version 0.90.12. Funny enough it is stored as 1.4.2:

root@ip-10-95-yy-xx:/usr/local# curl localhost:9200
{
  "ok" : true,
  "status" : 200,
  "name" : "i-7d4c929b",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "0.90.12",
    "build_hash" : "26feed79983063ae83bfa11bd4ce214b1f45c884",
    "build_timestamp" : "2014-02-25T15:38:23Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "4.6"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}
root@ip-10-95-yy-xx:/usr/local# ls -la

This issue has been discussed thoroughly in #100, #61, #68.

Hello! We've re-written the cookbook using libraries that expose resources and providers, so you shouldn't see this problem on the newer version; it should also be much easier to upgrade. Hope this helps!
