up2date/yum like plugin management

[Leif Nelson <ln...@llnl.gov>]

Hi all-

I saw the updated plugin releases recently, and was wondering if there 
are any tools out there that act like RedHat's up2date or the yum tools 
to maintain maven plugins.  It sure would be nice to be able to do some 
kind of "maven update-plugins" or something that would get the latest 
released plugin versions.  Does something like this exist?  It seems 
like all the info is available to discern what the "latest" version of a 
plugin might be and compare to what's installed.  I've seen posts that 
talk about making sure dependent plugins are updated, but I haven't seen 
anything more general to manage all installed plugins and dynamically 
figure out what the latest is.

Thanks,
--Leif

For maven2 where we have richer plugin metadata and wagon this type of
functionality will be possible. Michal and Brett are working on cleaning
up Wagon so that Brett can using Wagon in m1 instead of the existing
artifact code (which is just an older version of wagon, Michal's first
incarnation in fact).
