One way round this is to define the versions of all plugins as properties. Having the version as a property is useful for testing plugin updates anyway, so I think most are defined that way. If running under an earlier version of Java then define the version accordingly, e.g. -Dcommons.build-helper.version=1.12 The redefine can either be done on the command-line, or added to a pom profile if it is deemed worth the effort. It should even work in settings.xml > Gary > > >> >> Am 25.
