That is a good question...

I would think that when you ask for the latest maven-metatdata.xml archivia
will check if it's cache is out of date and then query central...

if you do mvn -U do you get the latest version of a plugin automatically (if
yes, then the answer is yes, if no then the answer is no)

FYI, we're using nexus and have no issues in this regard
