Need help with upgrading a plugin
Note: This is a repost/rephrasing of an ealier question I sent out.
Previous posts have led me to believe that I can upgrade a plugin by
specifying the plugin in my POM. I've tried this and it partially works.
The new plugin is downloaded and installed in my local repository, but
Maven does not invoke the updated plugin. In this case I'm trying to use
the latest version of the JXR plugin.
Here's the relevent parts of my POM:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>maven</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jxr-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.4.2</version>
<type>plugin</type>
</dependency>
...
</dependencies>
<reports>
<report>maven-jxr-plugin</report>
...
</reports>
When I run "maven site" and it tries to build the java cross reference I
get the error:
BUILD FAILED
File.... /home/chelck/.maven/cache/maven-jxr-plugin-1.4.1/plugin.jelly
Version 1.4.2 of jxr is downloaded and in my cache next to 1.4.1. So why
isn't 1.4.2 being used?
Any ideas? Thanks,
-c. helck

As a quick and dirty fix I add the following goal to the maven.xml of
our projects and tell people to run it if they get plugin problems
<goal name="antelope:upgradePlugins">
<j:forEach var="dep" items="${pom.dependencies}">
<j:if test="${dep.type =='plugin'}">
<maven:get plugin="${dep.artifactId}" property="plugin"
var="plugin" />
<ant:echo>
######################################################################
Fetching ${dep.artifactId} Plugin You may have to run your goal again
######################################################################
</ant:echo>
<j:set var="groupId" value="${dep.groupId}"/>
<j:set var="artifactId" value="${dep.artifactId}"/>
<j:set var="version" value="${dep.version}"/>
<attainGoal name="plugin:download"/>
</j:if>
</j:forEach>
</goal>

I would suggest that the plugin dependency will work, but only if you
uninstall the original.
The mechanism has problems when two different versions of on plugin are loaded.

RE: Need help with upgrading a plugin
Posted by Charles Daniels <cj...@yahoo.com>.
This is a known issue. Adding a plugin as a dependency doesn't quite
work as you might expect. In fact, in my experience, adding a plugin as
a dependency can cause other little problems. I suggest you remove the
plugin as a dependency and manually download the plugin via the
plugin:download goal. You should probably also manually delete the
plugin jar files from your MAVEN_HOME/plugins directory prior to running
plugin:download. If you simply stick to using plugin:download whenever
you wish to upgrade to a newer plugin version, your older version will
automatically be removed.
