[ANN] Maven Invoker Plugin 1.8 Released

[Robert Scholte <rf...@apache.org>]

The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Maven
Invoker Plugin, version 1.8

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>1.8</version>
</plugin>
