That would be the versions-maven-plugin which is 24 hours away from 1.0-alpha-2 (I hope) over on mojo. You define the versions of dependencies using properties. If you put the properties inside a hard range then you have effectively locked the version down. Then the versions-maven-plugin can update the properties for you. In addition, you can define the range within which each property can be updated... The goal you're after is versions:update-properties
