Question

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?

Answer 1

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.
