The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache Maven Invoker Plugin, version 1.10.

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
2
3
4
5

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-invoker-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.10</version>
</plugin>
