    text
    copied!<p>How can I lock the version of a Maven plugin I want to use?</p> <p>I have the PMD plugin configured like so:</p> <pre><code>&lt;plugin&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.maven.plugins&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;maven-pmd-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;version&gt;2.5&lt;/version&gt; &lt;configuration&gt; &lt;outputDirectory&gt;target/pmd&lt;/outputDirectory&gt; &lt;targetDirectory&gt;target/&lt;/targetDirectory&gt; &lt;aggregate&gt;true&lt;/aggregate&gt; &lt;targetJdk&gt;1.6&lt;/targetJdk&gt; &lt;rulesets&gt; &lt;ruleset&gt;rulesets/basic.xml&lt;/ruleset&gt; &lt;ruleset&gt;rulesets/codesize.xml&lt;/ruleset&gt; &lt;ruleset&gt;rulesets/coupling.xml&lt;/ruleset&gt; &lt;ruleset&gt;rulesets/design.xml&lt;/ruleset&gt; &lt;ruleset&gt;rulesets/imports.xml&lt;/ruleset&gt; &lt;ruleset&gt;rulesets/logging-java.xml&lt;/ruleset&gt; &lt;ruleset&gt;rulesets/optimizations.xml&lt;/ruleset&gt; &lt;ruleset&gt;rulesets/strings.xml&lt;/ruleset&gt; &lt;ruleset&gt;rulesets/unusedcode.xml&lt;/ruleset&gt; &lt;/rulesets&gt; &lt;/configuration&gt; &lt;/plugin&gt; </code></pre> <p>Last night, my nightly build failed and I can no longer run any pmd goals because it is trying to find version 2.6-SNAPSHOT of that plugin. Why is it even trying to find 2.6-SNAPSHOT if I have a version tag that says 2.5? Also, 2.6-SNAPSHOT is not in central - why does my maven client think it exists?</p> <p>Maven version: 2.0.9<br> Java version: 1.6.0_17<br> OS name: "linux" version: "2.6.24-24-generic" arch: "i386" Family: "unix"</p> <p>Edit:</p> <p>I upgraded to maven 2.2.1 and observed the same issue as before. I was able to get the project to build by removing 2.6-SNAPSHOT from the metadata in my repository (.m2/repository/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-pmd-plugin/maven-metadata-central.xml). I also set the latestVersion tag to 2.5. This is obviously not the solution, because I'd have to either deploy my own plugin or change the cached version on all clients. </p>
