I just remembered something I have read a while ago in "Maven: The complete reference" from Sonatype which partly answers my question ... The file ~/.m2/repository/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-metadata-central.xml is where the prefix deploy is bound to maven-deploy-plugin and this could bypassed with the explicit name of the plugin wanted like org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin. Of some reason is the group id not included in the prefix mapping and definitely not the version so it does not fully answer my question. well, a workaround is of course to always use the qualified name of the plugin with the version included when it is invoked from the command line.

Thanks for your information. Use of pluginManagement in a parent pom to gain control over which plugins that are used seems to be a good advice. But I can't see how it could give control over which version of a plugin that is used when the goal for the plugin is invoked from the command line like the command mvn deploy:deploy-file ... But there seems to be somewhere configuration that decides that the default version used for that command should be 2.5, not the newest available version in the central repository, 2.7.

You would normally do this by using a pluginManagement tag in your pom and in that context declaring the plugin and setting the version to 2.7. This is particularly useful in a parent pom because the version will be inherited by all child poms. Then you would not include the version tag in the plugin
declaration in the plugins tag.

I think that it may be possible to configure this in a site super pom.

Hi!

I have a question that I guess already have been asked somewhere but I
have not been able to find the answer myself. The question came up when I ran the command mvn deploy:deploy-file on the command line and found that the arg sources (given as -Dsources=...) wasn't recognized. It turned out
that the command mvn deploy:deploy file always resolves to version 2.5

mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:2.5:deploy-file

where I would like it to resolve to resolve to version 2.7

org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:2.7:deploy-file

as that version have the sources arg as an option so the question is, is
it possible to configure which version of the plugin the unqualified
commands for a plugin like mvn deploy:deploy-file should resolve to?

I use Maven 3.0.3 (r1075438; 2011-02-28 18:31:09+0100) in Win XP with java
1.6.0

Thanks for any information about this!
