versions:parent-updates-report

Note:

This goal should be used as a Maven report.

Full name:

org.codehaus.mojo:versions-maven-plugin:2.18.0:parent-updates-report

Description:

Generates a report on available updates for parent artifacts

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven project to be executed.
  • Requires dependency resolution of artifacts in scope: runtime.
  • The goal is thread-safe and supports parallel builds.
  • Since version: 2.13.0.

Required Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<outputDirectory> File - The shared output directory for the report. Note that this parameter is only evaluated if the goal is run directly from the command line. If the goal is run indirectly as part of a site generation, the shared output directory configured in the Maven Site Plugin is used instead.

A plugin may use any subdirectory structure (either using a hard-coded name or, ideally, an additional user-defined mojo parameter with a default value) to generate multi-page reports or external reports with the main output file (entry point) denoted by #getOutputName().


Default: ${project.build.directory}/reports

Optional Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<allowSnapshots> boolean 1.0-alpha-3 Whether to allow snapshots when searching for the latest version of an artifact.
Default: false
User Property: allowSnapshots
<comparisonMethod> String 1.0-alpha-1 The versioning rule to use when comparing versions. Valid values are maven, numeric which will handle long version numbers provided all components are numeric, or mercury which will use the mercury version number comparison rules.
User Property: comparisonMethod
<ignoredVersions> Set<String> 2.13.0

Allows specifying ignored versions directly as an alternative to providing the ruleSet parameter; mainly created for -D property usage.

Example: "1\.0\.1,.+-M.,.*-SNAPSHOT"

Currently, this parameter will override the defined ruleSet


User Property: maven.version.ignore
<locale> String - The locale to use when the report generation is invoked directly as a standalone Mojo.
See also: SiteTool#DEFAULT_LOCALE, SiteTool#getSiteLocales(String)
Default: default
<outputFormat> String - The report output format: null by default, to represent a site, but can be configured to a Doxia Sink id.
User Property: output.format
<outputTimestamp> String - Timestamp for reproducible output archive entries, either formatted as ISO 8601 yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXXX or as an int representing seconds since the epoch (like SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH).
Default: ${project.build.outputTimestamp}
<ruleSet> RuleSet 2.13.0

Allows specifying the org.codehaus.mojo.versions.model.RuleSet object describing rules on artifact versions to ignore when considering updates.


See also: Using the ruleSet element in the POM
<rulesUri> String 1.0-alpha-3 URI of a ruleSet file containing the rules that control how to compare version numbers. The URI could be either a Wagon URI or a classpath URI (e.g. classpath:///package/sub/package/rules.xml).
User Property: maven.version.rules
<serverId> String 1.0-alpha-3 settings.xml's server id for the URL. This is used when wagon needs extra authentication information.
Default: serverId
User Property: maven.version.rules.serverId
<siteDirectory> File - Directory containing the site.xml file.
Default: ${basedir}/src/site
<skip> boolean 1.0-alpha-3 Skip entire check.
User Property: versions.skip
