Thanks for that.

How can I see what has changed as something is trying to download 2.4-SNAPSHOT 
all of a sudden? It is concerning from a build reproducibility point of view if 
something has changed without us knowing.

My thought was that if a pom.xml does not specify a plugin version then maven 
will look for the latest one. Now that surefire 2.4 is imminent maybe there are 
some references to it somewhere that are making it the latest version?


If no version is specified for a plugin it will by default lookup the latest snapshot. To nail down the version you need to explicitly set it to a released version - in this case 2.3.1 or 2.4 when it will be released later today.

In general, IMO it's good pratice to fix versions on plugins and only upgrade when required.

Cheers
