Unresolved dependency: What does "<latest version>" refer to?

[bluenote10]

Simply adding

 addSbtPlugin("ch.jodersky" % "sbt-jni" % "<latest version>")

to project/plugins.sbt results in:

sbt.ResolveException: unresolved dependency: ch.jodersky#sbt-jni;<latest version>: not found

What does "<latest version>" refer to? Was searching around, but I can find it (only this, but that does not seem to work either: version in ThisBuild := ("git describe --always --dirty --match v[0-9].*" !!).tail.trim)

Or is this actually supposed to work and it is an issue with the Maven repository? Because I can't see it here.

Oh, got it, today is my blind day: It's 1.2.5 (it is in the bintray icon).

Correct, I should however mention to look at the bintray badge in the README.

I'm implementing a direct push-to-deploy mechanism, whereby pushing an annotated git tag will automatically build and publish the project. IMO, continuous deployment should not change source code, hence the version cannot automatically be replaced in the readme and therefore I removed the explicit version string and replaced it with a <latest version> placeholder
