Good day,

Use <pluginMangement/> instead. Something like

<project>
 ...
 <build>
   <pluginManagement>
     <plugins>
       <plugin>
         <!--

if you don't specify a groupId, org.apache.maven.plugins is used.

         -->
         <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
         <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
         <version>2.0</version>
       </plugin>
     </plugins>
   </pluginManagement>
 </build>
</project>

See [1] for more info.

Cheers,
Franz

Hi developers

I want to control plugin versions used in a multimodule build
with dependencyManagement. I thing, Maven behaves weird.

Here is a test project, where I try to control maven-jar-plugin version.
parent pom:

<project>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>mycompany</groupId>
    <artifactId>parent</artifactId>
    <packaging>pom</packaging>
    <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

    <modules>
        <module>child</module>
    </modules>

  <dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.0</version>
      </dependency>
    </dependencies>
  </dependencyManagement>
</project>


child pom (in "child" subdirectory):

<project>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <parent>
        <groupId>mycompany</groupId>
        <artifactId>parent</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </parent>
    <artifactId>child</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<!--
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
-->
</project>

When building child, maven-jar-plugin 2.1 (latest) is selected.
If I uncomment "dependencies" section, maven-jar-plugin 2.0
(specified in "dependencyManagement" section) is selected.
Why  I have to specify dependency to make "dependencyManagement"
work for a plugin?
Is this an error or am I doing something wrong?

Greetings
