I went through our POM's to see if we had any dependencies that were worth updating. Here's a quick summary of what I found.
Funny, I've been doing something similar yesterday. I started analyzing the dependencies with the Maven analyze Task http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/analyze-mojo.html
I already noticed that we are including some dependencies that are not necessary (e.g. odfdom uses jena-arq where jena-core should be enough). I would continue with my checks and commit those in the next few days.
It probably is safe to update the build-time tools (junit, rat and the maven plugins), yes? What about the run time dependencies?
Build time would be fine. I am not completely sure if we have enough tests for some of the newer features (metadata) to determine if those are working by tests only.
