Name Type Since Description
<allowDowngrade> boolean 2.12.0

Whether to downgrade a snapshot dependency if allowSnapshots is false and there exists a version within the range fulfilling the criteria.

Default false


Default: false
User Property: allowDowngrade
<allowIncrementalUpdates> boolean 2.13.0

Whether to allow the incremental version number to be changed.

Note: false also implies allowMajorUpdates and allowMinorUpdates false


Default: true
User Property: allowIncrementalUpdates
<allowMajorUpdates> boolean 2.13.0 Whether to allow the major version number to be changed.
Default: true
User Property: allowMajorUpdates
<allowMinorUpdates> boolean 2.13.0

Whether to allow the minor version number to be changed.

Note: false also implies allowMajorUpdates false


Default: true
User Property: allowMinorUpdates
<allowSnapshots> boolean 1.0-alpha-1 Whether to allow snapshots when searching for the latest version of an artifact.
Default: false
User Property: allowSnapshots
<changeRecorderFormat> String 2.11 The format used to record changes. If "none" is specified, no changes are recorded.
Default: none
User Property: changeRecorderFormat
<changeRecorderOutputFile> File 2.11 The output file used to record changes.
Default: ${project.build.directory}/versions-changes.xml
User Property: changeRecorderOutputFile
<forceUpdate> boolean 2.9 to update parent version by force when it is RELEASE or LATEST
Default: false
User Property: forceUpdate
<generateBackupPoms> boolean 1.0-alpha-3 Controls whether a backup pom should be created.
Default: true
User Property: generateBackupPoms
<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
<parentVersion> String 1.0-alpha-1

If skipResolution is not set, specifies the bottom version considered for target version resolution. If it is a version range, the resolved version will be restricted by that range.

If skipResolution is true, will specify the target version to which the parent artifact will be updated.


User Property: parentVersion
<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
<skipResolution> boolean 2.13.0 Skips version resolution, only valid if parentVersion is set. Will effectively set the new parent version to the one from parentVersion
Default: false
User Property: skipResolution
