Hello,

I plan to release commons-parent, therefore I checked the plugin versions.

Here are the plugins which allow updates, the release notes, my analysis and
decisions (r1698139):



maven-compiler-plugin .................................... 3.2 -> 3.3
https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-announce/201503.mbox/%3c20150327182100.6fa0c17...@minotaur.apache.org%3E

Besides a sane 2.2.1 minimum version for Maven, it does not document
any severe changes. It can also be overwritten by
commons.compiler.version property. Tested, Bump to 3.3



maven-enforcer-plugin .................................. 1.3.1 -> 1.4
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-announce/201501.mbox/%3c20150129201332.d2a1517...@minotaur.apache.org%3E

Bumps Maven minimum to 2.2.1, introduces a few new dependency versions
but it seems to be sane. Is defined in apache parent (old and new),
should we overwrite it? Update not tested, not changed.



maven-jar-plugin ......................................... 2.5 -> 2.6
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-announce/201503.mbox/%3c20150310103739.55bad17...@minotaur.apache.org%3E

Bumps some dependencies (especially plexus-archiver 2.9). Has no
property to overwrite. Tested, Bump to 2.6



maven-javadoc-plugin ...................... 2.10.2 -> 2.10.3
http://blog.soebes.de/blog/2015/04/15/apache-maven-javadoc-plugin-version-2-dot-10-dot-3-released/

Minor update. Configured with property commons.javadoc.version. Tested,
Bump to 2.10.3



maven-release-plugin ................................. 2.5.1 -> 2.5.2
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-announce/201504.mbox/%3Cop.xxihwzptkdkhrr@robertscholte%3E

Updates some dependency. Not specifically tested, Bump to 2.5.2



org.codehaus.mojo:build-helper-maven-plugin ............ 1.8 -> 1.9.1
http://blog.soebes.de/blog/2014/09/06/mojo-build-helper-maven-plugin-version-1-dot-9-1-released/
http://blog.soebes.de/blog/2014/06/10/mojo-build-helper-maven-plugin-version-1-dot-9-released/

Mostly Bugfixes. Could affect the version parsing. Tested, Bump to 1.9.1



When running display-plugin-updates this leaves me with two pending updates, 
one is a false positive (animal-sniffer is updated by profile when java7 is 
used, not sure why versions plugin does not see that) and the enforcer, which I 
would only update when ASF parent does it.


If not mentioned otherwise I made the change, deployed the parent, used
it to build commons-vfs trunk with the following commands:

JAVA_HOME=%JAVA_1_8_HOME% mvn clean verify -Pjava-1.8 
-Dmaven.compiler.target=1.7
  NB: Animal Sniffer does not yet offer 1.8 signatures

JAVA_HOME=%JAVA_1_7_HOME% mvn clean verify -Pjava-1.7 
-Dmaven.compiler.target=1.7

JAVA_HOME=%JAVA_1_6_HOME% mvn clean site -Pinclude-sandbox
  * jira ssl problems

JAVA_HOME=%JAVA_1_8_HOME% mvn clean site -Pinclude-sandbox



I haven't considered updating the apache parent, we can do that later,
it would introduce:

org.apache:apache .... 16 -> 17
- bumps default compile target 1.4 -> 1.5
- compiler version 3.1 -> 3.2 (old)
- adds project-info-report plugin, 
- bumps failsave 2.17 -> 2.18.1
- maven resource plugin 2.6 -> 2.7
- maven-scm-publish 1.0-beta-2 -> 1.1
- maven-source-plugin 2.3 -> 2.4
- adds maven-surefore-report
- add maven war plugin 2.5
- add maven-site-plugin attach descriptor
- jar -> jar-no-fork
- apache-source-release-assembly-descriptor 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5
- removes maven-3 profile

Greetings
Bernd
