I have a variety of dependencies declared in my largish J2EE project and I'm wondering if perhaps there's a plugin or something available that would run out to the Maven repo, check my declared dependencies and versions against those available in the repo, and let me know which ones seem to have updates available.
Ideally it would produce a list like: groupId/artifactId --- my declared version -- other versions available xml-apis/xml-apis: 1.0.b2 [1.3.02, 1.3.03, 1.3.04] org.codehaus.woodstox/wstx-asl: 3.0.0 [3.0.1, 3.0.2, 3.0.3, 3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.2.0] etc Obviously I can do this myself manually (and I do now and then) but it would be nice if this was available in an easy to use plugin available from the command line. I don't necessarily always want to use the latest and greatest version of all my dependencies, but if I've declared 3.0.0 and a new version 3.0.4 is available (with bugfixes etc) then I should probably know about it, test my app to make it doesn't break anything, and plan to include it in a future version of my app. If it doesn't already exist, I'll have to start looking into implementing this myself, I suppose.
