Specify maven install plugin version

Question

I am using maven to build a project which requires java 1.6. But the building process uses maven-install-pluging version 3.0.0-M1 which is not compatible with java 1.6. I have not configured maven-install-plugin version anywhere in the project. How do I say to use maven-install-pluging version 2.4. I use maven 3.2.2 version

Answer 1

You can set the plugin version by defining it in pluginManagement section :

<build>
  <pluginManagement>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.4</version>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </pluginManagement>
  ...
</build>
