[jira] Commented: (MPH-53) mvn help:describe returns the version that is specified in metadata instead of the one in the parent pom

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPH-53?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=201498#action_201498 ] 

Keith David Winkler commented on MPH-53:
----------------------------------------

Still happens in version 2.2.1

Effective pom specifies resources plugin 2.3

"mvn help:describe -Dplugin=resources" downloads and lists help for version 2.4.1




In any case this FAQ entry seems wrong: http://maven.apache.org/general.html#plugin-version

> mvn help:describe returns the version that is specified in metadata instead of  the one in the parent pom
