if the parent is only being downloaded from the maven repo, and you
have not checked it out of scm locally, you should really be using a
released version and not a snapshot.
if you're using a release version then update-parent will do what you
want

yep, it works with -DallowSnapshots=true, thanks.
I got mistaken because of one example that was using
-DallowSnapshots=false,
I thought true was the default value.
I get it for the parent problem. I've been redirected to the version
plugin
by Maven folks about the automatic parent pom upgrade. We still
have to
wait
for it to be fixed I guess.
I've tried to deploy a new 3-SNAPSHOT version of my parent pom to
the
local
repository.
However, other machines wouldn't get the latest, just deployed
version,
with
a <mvn versions:update-parent -DallowSnapshots=true>.
It would only upgrade the pom with the latest found parent
version, but
not
find out there's a newer SNAPSHOT in the repository, isn't it?
If you're looking at 3-SNAPSHOT vs 3-SNAPSHOT, that's not what
versions-maven-plugin is for.
versions-maven-plugin is to change the version numbers.... so 3-
SNAPSHOT
->
3.1-SNAPSHOT
If you just want to pick up the latest snapshot, just run mvn with -U
cheers

How would you configure the plugin so that it executes at each mvn
execution? Or better, follow the regular Maven once-a-day update
policy
applied to the dependencies.
That cannot ever work...
Maven reads the pom when it starts... versions-maven-plugin
changes the
pom... the pom on disk will not be the same as the pom that maven
read
in
before running versions-maven-plugin.
You *always* have to run versions-maven-plugin on its own...
e.g.
mvn versions:update-parent -DallowSnapshots=true
mvn clean install
Binding it to a phase will not do what you think it should do!
