How to update maven dependency in jhipster web application

Question

I am using JHipster for my web application development. I am using JHipster facebook login feature. Now I have updated my JHipster version to 4.0.7 so my facebook login is not working.Previous version of"spring-social-facebook.version" is 2.0.3.RELEASE After googling for solution I have changed it to

<spring-social-facebook.version>3.0.0.M1</spring-social-facebook.version>

But when I am executing my application by gradlew command . it's not downloading the new version files. Please help me out.Am I missing something. or there another way to update the maven dependencies

My _pom.xml file is as follows

   <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.social</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-social-facebook</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.0.M1</version>
    </dependency>

Answer 1

Just feeling confused by your question mixing gradlew, maven and _pom.xml which is a template for JHipster to generate your project's pom.xml if using maven.

If you use gradlew, the deps versions are in gradle.properties file.

You can add the spring milestones repository

<spring-social-facebook.version>3.0.0.M3</spring-social-facebook.version>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.social</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-social-facebook</artifactId>
    <version>${spring-social-facebook.version}</version>
</dependency>
