How to easily upgrade Karate Version? - karate

Question

I would like to upgrade to Karate 0.9.0 which is released recently. How can i do this easily. My existing .pom file contains many dependencies in 0.8.0 version. Should i replace each with updated one? Or, is there a better way to do this?
And again, i can see many RC versions of dependencies in maven repository which one's stable?
And, Finally, Is there any separate dependency for KarateOptions? Because, I was using 0.8.0 and was not able to find any dependency jars for this.

This is actually a maven question. But yes the recommended practice is to define a maven "property" once and then use it in the multiple places.
I'm surprised, because at the max you should have only 2.
<properties>
<karate.version>0.9.0</karate.version>
</properties>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.intuit.karate</groupId>
<artifactId>karate-apache</artifactId>
<version>${karate.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.intuit.karate</groupId>
<artifactId>karate-junit4</artifactId>
<version>${karate.version}</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
And yes, KarateOptions is new in 0.9.0 - please read the release notes carefully and you don't even need to change that immediately when you upgrade: https://github.com/intuit/karate/releases/tag/v0.9.0
