Always install latest node

See original GitHub issue

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? I want to know, is there any way we can always install the latest version of NodeJS instead of explicitly specifying like <nodeVersion>v8.11.1</nodeVersion>

What I propose is instead of explicitly specifying the node version we could specify something like <nodeVersion>LATEST</nodeVersion> which will install the current stable version.

What is the current behavior? We have to manually search for the latest version of node and add the version inPOM.xml

<nodeVersion>v8.11.1</nodeVersion>

What is the expected behavior? <nodeVersion>LATEST</nodeVersion> Please mention your frontend-maven-plugin and operating system version. I’m using frontend-maven-plugin 1.7.6 and Mac 10.14.5 (Mojave)

The reason this isn’t supported, is that a new version of node.js could introduce a regression/bug (yes, it happened to me and I wasted hours because of it) so in order to have reproducible builds (no “works on my machine” issues) the plugin is designed so that you have to lock down to a specific version of Node.js. So if there’s a newer version, simply update the version in your pom.xml file!

What about <nodeVersion>LTS</nodeVersion> as the LATEST could also mix LTS, Current/Stable, etc
