> 5:42 PM  wsmoak  bentmann: where does http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin-2.1-alpha-2/plugin-info.html come from?
> 5:42 PM  wsmoak  it says to run 'mvn -up' which isn't going to work in 2.0.9+
> {noformat}
> More precisely, the generated "Plugin Documentation" says
> {noformat}
> You could run 'mvn -up' to get the latest version of this plugin
> {noformat}
> This only works for RELEASE/LATEST versions, which is now considered bad practice and has already been disabled for common plugins by locking them down in the super POM. Hence, we should update the documentation and remove this suggestion. The one and only way to get a particular plugin version is to explicitly specify it in the POM.
> As Vincent further pointed out, this needs also to be addressed in the announcment mail template given in [Releasing A Maven Project|http://maven.apache.org/developers/release/releasing.html].
