Is there a Maven plugin that allows you to check if there are newer versions of dependencies available in the repository?

Say, you are using dependency X with version 1.2. Now a new version of X is released with version 1.3. I’d like to know, based on the dependencies used in my project, which dependencies have newer versions available.

    The Maven Versions plugin and it’s display-dependency-updates mojo are what you’re looking for:

    mvn versions:display-dependency-updates

    Here is what the output looks like:
