> I think it'd be nice to be able to have an eclipse-like version of http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/ allowing to detect and update new versions of maven plugins and dependencies.
> versions-maven-plugin would be invoked under the hood (if possible), so as to minimize code duplication.
> * versions:display-dependency-updates scans a project's dependencies and produces a report of those dependencies which have newer versions available.
> * versions:display-plugin-updates scans a project's plugins and produces a report of those plugins which have newer versions available.
> results could be displayed either as Warning markers in the pom.xml or in a dedicated view (similar to what a sonatype plugin did 2 years ago -don't remember the name).
> Quick-fixes would be available to actually update the versions to the latest ones. The feature should also be able to cope with versions defined as maven properties
> We should check if/how this feature is implemented in other IDEs (see what works or doesn't) from a UI standpoint.
