Hello, I work for a company that is fairly new to Maven and open source in general. We are currently using Maven 2.0.5 with Continuum for our continuous build server and Artifactory for our internal artifact repository.
We need to upgrade to Maven 2.0.9, but this is the first time we have upgraded and I have a few questions/concerns. I tried to search for related info on Google but did not find much. I also tried to search the last few months worth of posts on the mailing list. I did come across an older post on issues with Continuum and Maven 2.0.7 http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3084 and while it is obviously not an issue for 2.0.9, it's an example of some of the concerns I have of potential issues to watch out for. Essentially, my question is, are there any best practices to follow when upgrading versions of Maven? Are there easy ways to upgrade all the latest versions of various plug-ins for example? Does one necessarily need to upgrade to the latest versions of plug-ins or is it more of a case by case basis? Are there any issues to be aware of with Continuum? Perhaps that's a post for the Continuum mailing list. I apologize if this is too basic a question, as I mentioned we are fairly new to the environment and I would like to make this initial upgrade as seamless as possible. It's not the actual upgrade of Maven, that's simple enough, more any related steps in the process that we may not be aware of. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
