No automatic plugin version updates? #8

As you already mentioned that does not happen so often...but it might be usefull......What about offering a patch for that ? Apart from that i prefer to do this by hand in my company pom from time to time if a new plugin is released... |
Think you may've misinterpreted that. I actually claimed that plugin updates occur more often than dependency updates. I can't speak for the rest of the world, but I update plugins prior to making every release so that we're always up to date. Given that there can be dozens of plugins in a single build, and all of those plugins are on different release schedules, the average Maven build is almost always behind the times when it comes to plugins. I'm not sure I have the time to supply a patch, and I'm unfamiliar with the codebase. I assumed given that the plugin can already manage the version numbers of dependencies that it would be fairly easy to apply this same logic to plugins. Is this not the case? Thanks for the quick response! |

Before a release i would never make an update to plugins, cause my builds have run for a period of 3 or 4 weeks with the same versions. Than the release will have the same plugins versions. Starting a new sprint i do the updates and test for 2-3 days to see if something bad happens if not keeping the update otherwise roll back. The usual case is that i have to update only a small number of plugins (usually one or two)... May be we can find a way to do that....I have to dive into the code base as well...which can take a while... Apart from that it's a good idea to improve the plugin.... Kind regards |

As a workaround you may extract the plugin versions into properties and use |

It needs lots of cleanup yet, but I just got my test over updating a plugin to pass. |

This should be reopened: the PR that implemented the request was never actually merged and the plugin thus still lacks this feature 9 years later. |

@norrisjeremy I second this ! Just stumbled upon this issue. |

The PR is so old that it might be difficult to adapt it to the current source tree. However, I'll look into this in due time. |
Hello.
One thing I've always felt is severely lacking from the versions plugin is the ability to update plugin versions in POMs. From my experience, dependencies aren't updated as frequently as plugins, and there aren't as many of them. The plugin is capable of telling me that I have a lot of work to do, but is not capable of helping with that work in the same way that it can with dependencies. I'd really love a way to automatically update all of the plugin versions in a twenty-module Maven project!
Are there any plans to support this?
