Maven check for updated dependencies in repository

Question

Is there a Maven plugin that allows you to check if there are newer versions of dependencies available in the repository?

Say, you are using dependency X with versio

Answer 1

In projects with a large number of dependancies, you sometimes keep your versions in a properties section.

    
        3.15.0
        1.11.763
        3.3.6

In the case where you are only interested in updates to those versions, you can use the following command

mvn versions:display-property-updates

This gives a more condensed view and only returns the versions you need to update in the properties section.
