How do I know what version of a Maven plugin to use?

How do I know what version of a Maven plugin to use?

For example, where on the horrible Maven website can I find a list of versions of the compiler plugin? http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/

Presumably, you're looking for the issue tracker, which shows issues, versions, changelogs, etc. On just about any of the "horrible" Maven plugin pages, you'll find a link to the issue tracker on the left side under "Project Information".

Here is what I do

  1. Go to http://mvnrepository.com
  2. Search for maven-compiler-plugin
  3. You should find the first one is the one you need. http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.maven.plugins/maven-compiler-plugin
  4. Find the one with the latest version and use that one

The above works because maven repo also has the latest plugins. Hope this helps.
