What's the version number for the latest version for Rome?

According to your research: 1.5.0 :-)

Where can I download the JAR for the latest version?

One place would be Maven Central. You can use http://search.maven.org/ to find the 1.5.0 version.

Where does maven get its JAR for Rome?

Maven will get the JAR from Maven Central ... unless you set your maven configs and/or your POM file to get it from somewhere else;

Note that different people seem to have uploaded Rome to Maven over time ... with different "groupids". It looks like "com.rometools" is the official groupid now.

Rome is, generally, the preferred, or at least, most used, Java API for parsing RSS feeds?

I'm NOT touching that one. It calls for an opinion-based answer.

  • read "most frequently used" instead of "preferred"...more quantitative (sorta kinda, hard to cite hard numbers, however). – Thufir Oct 12 '14 at 08:20
  • Do you **seriously** imagine anyone has tried to get hard numbers?? That's really still a subjective question ... "dressed up" as objective one. Not touching it! – Stephen C Oct 12 '14 at 12:35
