Default versions of the plugins downloaded

["Balasubramanian, Ravi Shankar" <rb...@informatica.com>]

Hi all, 
When we dont specify the version of a plugin to be downloaded in our
pom, does maven default to the latest version of the plugin that is
available ? Precisely, i am using the maven surefire plugin in my
projects and want to know if the latest will be downloaded if i dont
specify the version anywhere. 
 
Regards,
Ravi

AFAIK:
- prior to Maven 2.0.9 - the latest
- Maven 2.0.9 and beyond - the version that was current/stable/selected at
the time of Maven's release
