    <version>1.4.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
  </dependency>

Additional libraries

For file uploads these two libraries are necessary if the project is running on a Servlet 2.5 server:

  <dependency>
    <groupId>commons-fileupload</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-fileupload</artifactId>
    <version>1.3</version>
  </dependency>  

  <dependency>
    <groupId>commons-io</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
    <version>2.4</version>
  </dependency>

On a Servlet 3.0 server the two libraries are not needed if the program uses the StandardServletMultipartResolver class.
