[ANN] Maven Invoker Plugin 1.6 Released

[Olivier Lamy <ol...@apache.org>]

The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Maven Invoker
Plugin, version 1.6

The Invoker Plugin is used to run a set of Maven projects. The plugin
can determine whether each project execution is successful, and
optionally can verify the output generated from a given project
execution.

This plugin is in particular handy to perform integration tests for
other Maven plugins. The Invoker Plugin can be employed to run a set
of test projects that have been designed to assert certain features of
the plugin under test.

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-invoker-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.6</version>
</plugin>
