[ANN] Versions Maven Plugin 1.0-alpha-1 released

The Mojo team is pleased to announce the release of the Versions Maven
Plugin, version 1.0-alpha-1.

This plugin allows:
* the querying for newer versions of plugins used in a project.
* the querying for newer versions of dependencies used in a project.
* updating a project's parent to the latest available version
  (e.g. useful for syncing with corporate poms to ensure the latest is
  used prior to rolling a release)
* updating properties defined in a project to the latest version of a
specific
  artifact (e.g. for ensuring that a suite of dependencies are all the same
version)

http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/

You can run mvn -up to get the latest version of the plugin, or specify
the version in your project's plugin configuration:

<plugin>
 <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
 <artifactId>versions-maven-plugin</artifactId>
 <version>1.0-alpha-1</version>
</plugin>

Release Notes - Maven 2.x Versions Plugin - Version 1.0-alpha-1

** Bug
    * [MVERSIONS-1] - javadoc plugin doesn't have its version specified but
it has
    * [MVERSIONS-2] - display-plugin-updates does not include lifecycle
plugins that are not defined in the pom.

** Known Issues - Maven 2.x Versions Plugin - Version 1.0-alpha-1
    * [MVERSIONS-3] - display-plugin-updates does not identify the plugin
version as not being provided when derived from the super-pom

Enjoy,

-The Mojo team

Yep, basically 4 digit version numbers are not in the maven format!

Sorry about the noise; I see from the FAQ that a fourth digit in a version
number isn't handled numerically by default...

My first attempt to run it gave this output that seems...incorrect:

[INFO] The following dependency updates are available:
[INFO]   c3p0:c3p0 .......................................... 0.9.1.2 ->
0.9.0

Yes, Archiva will proxy and merge the metadata as well if configured to do
so.

That is a good question...

I would think that when you ask for the latest maven-metatdata.xml archivia
will check if it's cache is out of date and then query central...

if you do mvn -U do you get the latest version of a plugin automatically (if
yes, then the answer is yes, if no then the answer is no)

FYI, we're using nexus and have no issues in this regard

Does it work if you are not using the central repo directly but a repository
manager (archiva in my case) in between. Will this plugin "see" the newer
versions, even if they are not in archiva yet?
