Another good reason to use a parent project to control plug-in dependencies so that everyone working on a project uses the same tool set to build the project regardless of the version of Maven.

More of an oversight than anything. The version of the compiler plugin is 
controlled from the maven-core project and no one updated it before the 3.2.1 
release. Or the 3.2.2 release for that matter. I think there have a been a 
couple issues so it hasn't been updated.

I created a JIRA issue to track it:

I'm using maven 3.2.1 and when I run maven with -X I notice that version 2.5.1 
of the compiler plugin is used:

[DEBUG] Goal: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.5.1:compile 
(default-compile)
However, if I run

     mvn help:describe -Dplugin=compiler

I get:

Name: Maven Compiler Plugin
Description: The Compiler Plugin is used to compile the sources of yourproject.
Group Id: org.apache.maven.plugins
Artifact Id: maven-compiler-plugin
Version: 3.1
Goal Prefix: compiler

What is the rationale for Maven using 2.5.1?

John
