Apache Maven Invoker Plugin Version 3.2.0 Released

Jan 21, 2019 · 1 min read ·

The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache Maven Invoker Plugin, version 3.2.0.

The Invoker Plugin is used to run a set of Maven projects. The plugin can determine whether each project execution is successful, and optionally can verify the output generated from a given project execution.

This plugin is in particular handy to perform integration tests for other Maven plugins. The Invoker Plugin can be employed to run a set of test projects that have been designed to assert certain features of the plugin under test.

You should specify the version in your project's plugin configuration:

1<plugin>
2  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
3  <artifactId>maven-invoker-plugin</artifactId>
4  <version>3.2.0</version>
5</plugin>

You can download the appropriate sources etc. from the download page:
