Ansgar, well, this is possible, I'm working on some subtle gentoo-specific things I need to do first to test this out. Anyway, I already know this, and have specified about this in my original post. I'm looking for this and something beyond that. That is, set <checkLatest> true and retrieve plugins version from there. [2] says, checkLatest - Specifies whether the LATEST artifact metadata should be consulted while determining versions for unregistered plugins. I'm looking for that. I figured that it needs to set via maven-metadata.xml files. I'm not exactly sure that maven-metadata.xml is the file to be used for this purpose though.
