The pom does deliberately specify plugin versions in order to ensure repeatability. And when I see a new plugin is available, I sometimes update the version number on the principle that it must be better.. Looks like one of those plugins does need a newer version of maven, either because of a newer feature, or it needs a bugfix in the core. Sounds reasonable to me; stuff does improve. But it wasn't any deliberate attempt to sabotage your system I'm sure :-). I guess we could hunt around and find out which plugin it is, then try using an earlier version of it. But IMO I think it's time you upgraded your maven version :-) Cheers, Simon
