UpToDate-Maven-Plugin

=====================

Overview

--------

Force the use of the most up-to-date released versions of an artifact.

[The Basic idea for this plugin was born based on the discussion about the enforcer rule](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MENFORCER-190).

Sometimes you have a situation like using a parent pom but you would like to

force the users in your company to use the newest version cause there had been changes

which need for further development. This plugin can help in such situations.

Parent Check

------------

The following pom snippet will show an example of a usual project which 

is using a parent:

    

      com.soebes.maven.plugins.test.integration

      parent

      0.2

    

    org.test.parent

    root

    1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

So basically no problem at all. But what happens if a new version 

of that parent is released and you want to force people to use that

new version? Simply you add the following definition to your project:

So every time you try to build this plugin will check if

the parent is the newest version. 

     

       com.soebes.maven.plugins

       uptodate-maven-plugin

       

         

           force-updrage

           

             parent

           

           validate

         

       

     

If it is not the newest version it will break the build.

Furtunate you can skip that breaking by using the following

property on command if you really need.

    mvn -Duptodate.skip=true ...

Dependency Check

----------------

Default

  checking all dependencies of the current module if they are up-to-date.

Lets assume you have the following dependency in your pom:

    

      org.xyz.test  

      the-artifact

      1.3

    

Sometime you must be sure to use always the newest version which is available.

Using the uptodate-maven-plugin will exactly check this situation.

If you need to check the parent of a parent to be always uptodate you

could use the parent goal:

	 

	   

	     com.soebes.maven.plugins

	     uptodate-maven-plugin

	     

	       

	         check-dependencies

	         

	           dependency

	         

	         validate

	       

	     

	   

	   ..
