M2 plugins

[Mattias Olofsson <ma...@xdin.com>]

 
I have some questions about maven2 plugins.  
   
  
* How could I see the last versions of all plugins?   
* Is there any plans to make a page for maven2 like maven1, http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/reference/plugins/multichanges-report.html to list the releases ?   
* Why do I get these BUILD FAILURE when try to find plugins to update ?

http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/codehaus/mojo
and so on

It will be done by a repository application.

the -U flag is not used to updated everything (Maven has no way to find
every available plugin). You can use it as part of a normal run where
the plugin will be used, eg:

mvn -U eclipse:eclipse

There will later be a goal for updating from the default groups, for
example:

mvn plugin:update (update from default search groups)
mvn plugin:update -Dgroups=com.mortbay.jetty

(this doesn't exist yet - looking for volunteers to implement it!)
