How do I upgrade the version of a maven plugin?

I am using the maven-ear-plugin version 2.3.1 - I know there is a new version available: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-ear-plugin/

I can't work out how to upgrade to the latest version?

Solution

  • The default plugin versions are inherited from the Super POM, and you can check them with mvn help:effective-pom.

    If you want to override the version provided there, add this to your POM:

    <project>
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.3.1</version>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>

    Replace the version with what you need.
