As I wrote in many Jira issues over years on this topic, I'm not in favor of 
that

To me, staying with the same default plugins versions from Maven version to 
Maven version is a feature: nobody should expect to change his Maven version 
to change the plugins versions
The best practice is to define plugins versions in your pom.xml (or parent).
Getting very old versions of plugins by default is the best additional feature 
we have after the WARN "plugin version not defined"

Then IMHO, upgrading default plugins versions is a bad idea, is a bad message 
= "you can continue to ignore the WARN on plugins versions and still get 
newest and latest plugins"

this leads IMHO to one (bad) reason for people to require Maven Wrapper


I know, this is counter intuitive, that's why it is required to really take a 
moment to think about it

Hervé
