Can Maven update itself?

["Campana Jr., Salvatore J" <sa...@hp.com>]

I'm new to Maven, and was wondering if anyone has setup Maven to manage
its own dependencies....This way you could pull the latest version of
Maven and add it to the master repository and them when Maven runs it
updates itself...I realize this is a "Chicken and Egg" scenario, not to
mention classloaders and stuff....but it would be an interesting
feature...
 
So has anyone ever discussed this??
 
thx!

Definitely thought about it, maybe in the Maven 2.x lifecycle.

Maven already allows you to download its plugins one a plugin-by-plugin basis.
