The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the
Apache Maven Invoker Plugin, version 3.1.0.

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
2
3
4
5

  org.apache.maven.plugins
  maven-invoker-plugin
  3.1.0
