Checking for new dependency updates
The display-dependency-updates goal will check all the dependencies used in your project and display a list of those dependencies with newer versions available.
Here are some examples of what this looks like:
svn checkout http://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/trunk/mojo/build-helper-maven-plugin build-helper-maven-plugin cd build-helper-maven-plugin mvn versions:display-dependency-updates
Which produces the following output:
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Building Build Helper Maven Plugin [INFO] task-segment: [versions:display-dependency-updates] [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] [versions:display-dependency-updates] [INFO] [INFO] The following dependency updates are available: [INFO] org.apache.maven:maven-artifact ........................ 2.0 -> 2.0.9 [INFO] org.apache.maven:maven-plugin-api ...................... 2.0 -> 2.0.9 [INFO] org.apache.maven:maven-project ....................... 2.0.2 -> 2.0.9 [INFO] org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-utils ....................... 1.1 -> 1.5.6 [INFO] [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD SUCCESSFUL [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 17 seconds [INFO] Finished at: Fri Aug 15 10:46:03 IST 2008 [INFO] Final Memory: 10M/167M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
