Latest maven dependency of Apache Commons

Question

I emailed this question to dev@commons.apache.org but have not yet got a response.

I am trying to add a maven dependency to the latest commons-collections package, which I see from the site is 4.0 ( http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-collections/javadocs/api-release/index.html ).

I see from maven central that the version that it has is 20040616. This looks like a date and not a version number. However, the contents of the jar seems to match the API at http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-collections/javadocs/api-release/index.html . I would like to confirm if this is the actual 4.0 dependency, that I should be adding.

commons-collections commons-collections 20040616

Thanks,

Venk
