 h1. Situation
 ComponentA and productA build independently as different projects. During build process of ProductA , build result of latest version of componentA should be retrieved and used.
  
 h1. Demonstration
 # Visit the demo project [productA|http://demo.pmease.com/build/59.latest/]. Hover mouse over the dependencies link in the build summary section, and you will see that current build of productA depends on most recent version of componentA.
 # Switch to [componentA|http://demo.pmease.com/build/58.latest/], and click the run button to generate a new version of componentA.
 # Switch back to [productA|http://demo.pmease.com/build/59.latest/], and click the run button to build productA. When the new build finishes, examine its dependency again, and it is now dependent on the newly generated version of componentA.
