Well, the first thing I would check knowing that -U does the update is the configuration of your repo in your settings.xml. I bet you want an update policy more like "always" and it is set to "daily" or something. > My next questions is: inside the plugin code, how can it know for a > given artifact that it has been updated from remote since the last time > the plugin ran?

Essentially Maven does a "find all the plugins and dependencies etc I need to accomplish this build" in step 1. Then it always uses the files in the local repo cache to actually run your plugins. So your plugin cannot know what you are asking about.
