Hi All: According to their respective sites, the following plugins can be updated while keeping builds running on Maven 2.0.x and JDK 1.4.
maven-antrun-plugin 1.5 to 1.6 (Maven 2.0.6, JDK 1.4) maven-clean-plugin 2.4 to 2.4.1 (Maven 2.0.6, JDK 1.4) maven-deploy-plugin 2.5 to 2.6 (Maven 2.0.6, JDK 1.4) maven-gpg-plugin 1.2 to 1.3 (Maven 2.0.6, JDK 1.4) maven-install-plugin 2.3 to 2.3.1 (Maven 2.0.6, JDK 1.4) maven-resources-plugin 2.4.1 to 2.5 (Maven 2.0.6, JDK 1.4) maven-source-plugin 2.1.1 to 2.1.2 (Maven 2.0.6, JDK 1.4) maven-jxr-plugin 2.1 to 2.3 (Maven 2.0.9, JDK 1.4) maven-surefire-plugin 2.8.1 to 2.9 (Maven 2.0.9, JDK 1.4) Make some noise if you are not OK with updating any of these. The following should not be updated yet because they require Java 5. maven-release-plugin 2.0 to 2.2.1 (Maven 2.0.9, JDK 1.5) maven-project-info-reports-plugin 2.3.1 to 2.4 (Maven 2.2.0, JDK 1.5) maven-javadoc-plugin 2.7 to 2.8 (Maven 2.0.9, JDK 1.5) Thank you, Gary --- http://garygregory.wordpress.com/ http://garygregory.com/ http://people.apache.org/~ggregory/ http://twitter.com/GaryGregory
