Right, it looks like "help:describe -Dplugin=resources" will download and show the latest version of a plugin, regarless of what version the project/pom actually specifies.
In which case this FAQ entry is VERY wrong, and should be update ASAP to save people trouble: http://maven.apache.org/general.html#plugin-version Besides the FAQ being wrong this is problematic because the help displayed may or may not be relevant for the plugin version used in project. Here is the closes bug I found: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPH-53 -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Plugin-version-in-SUPER-POM-simply-ignored%2C-with-trivial-pom.xml-tp26661071p26674107.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
