After trying this plugin on some more projects I have found that NumericVersionComparator seems to do a better overall job than MavenVersionComparator. See hsqldb in the example below for an odd result using the default comparisonMethod.
[INFO] The following dependency updates are available: [INFO] commons-lang:commons-lang .......................... 2.1 -> 2.4 [INFO] hsqldb:hsqldb ............................ 1.8.0.1 -> 1.7.2-rc1 Any chance of using "numeric" as the default method instead? I'll add a JIRA project for this plugin and update the POM when I'm done.
