Maven - Checking for dependency updates

If you're using Maven with your Java or Android projects you can leverage its ability to check for new library versions using versions:display-dependency-updates goal, instead of doing that manually through search.maven.org or using services like changedetection.com.

Withing Eclipse, you can create an internal Run Configuration (Run > Run Configurations... > Maven Build):


[INFO] Scanning for projects...
