Set plugin’s version on the command line in maven 2
- by larry cai
I generate default quickstart maven example, and type mvn checkstyle:checkstyle, it always try to use the lastest SNAPSHOT version, probably it is wrong in my nexus server, but
How can I set plugin's version on the command line in maven2, like 2.5 for checkstyle instead of 2.6-SNAPSHOT
C:\HelloWorld>mvn checkstyle:checkstyle

Reason: Error getting POM for 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-checkstyle-plugin' from the repository: Failed to resolve artifact, possibly due to a repository list that is not appropriately equipped for this artifact's metadata.
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-checkstyle-plugin:pom:2.6-SNAPSHOT
from the specified remote repositories:
nexus (http://localhost:9081/nexus/content/groups/public)
for project org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-checkstyle-plugin
I guess it could be "mvn checkstyle:2.5:checkstyle", unfortunately it is not.
Surely if I set build dependance in pom.xml, it will work, but I want to see how command line can works
