update-dependency.rb should support a -f (force) switch which will re-align the versions in .classpath files with those in build.versions. This will be particularly useful if someone updates a version without remembering to use update-dependency.rb. Once the change is made, the release and ripple scripts can be changed to specify the -f switch so that .classpath files are automatically re-aligned on each release and ripple.
Note that the current update dependency logic checks for both the variable being substituted and the version to avoid false positives in files such as .classpath. The parsing of such files will probably need tightening up to enable -f to be implemented reliably.
