使用versions-maven-plugin在我的父pom.xml中获取最新版本的插件

Question

I have versions-maven-plugin in pom.xml (this POM is the parent POM which resides somewhere on network) and my project's pom.xml considers it as parent and download it locally when build for the first time.

Now I want to get the information on the latest versions of plugins which are used in parent pom.xml(one that resides on network) i type the following command at the root of my project as

mvn versions:display-plugin-updates

but this does not give the parent pom plugin's latest version;It gives me the latest versions available for the plugin i used in my project pom.xml.

So can anyone guide me know how can I find the latest version of all the plugins used in the pom.xml(that resides over the network and a downloaded copy is available locally).

Regards, Rajesh

Answer 1

I just got this working...I took the pom.xml(one copied locally from the network at location user/rajesh/.m2/repository/....) from the local repository and changed the name to pom.xml to some folder and run the

mvn versions:display-plugin-updates

and that worked for me.I could see all the version updates.
