Note:

Found the root cause of version not rendering on the Exhibitor landing page.Its says "dev" on the right hand side corner instead of the actual version.

If you use the 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 it works and displays the version.  

Based on the artifact version in pom.xml file maven downloads files from http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/netflix/exhibitor/exhibitor-standalone/1.5.2/exhibitor-standalone-1.5.2.pom
compare with 1.5.3
http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/netflix/exhibitor/exhibitor-standalone/1.5.3/exhibitor-standalone-1.5.3.pom
the scope is runtime vs compile
therefore its not compiling for 1.5.3 or higher
so it all depends on how soon netflix would fix it and upload file.
