Require Same Versions

This rule enforces that specific dependencies and/or plugins have the same version.

The following parameters are supported by this rule:

  • dependencies - an optional list of dependency patterns
  • buildPlugins - an optional list of build plugin patterns
  • reportPlugins - an optional list of report plugin patterns
  • plugins - an optional list of both build and report plugin patterns
  • uniqueVersions - if SNAPSHOTs should be compared by their timestamped version or not. Default: false

Sample Plugin Configuration:

<project>
  [...]
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-enforcer-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.5.0</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>enforce-no-snapshots</id>
            <goals>
              <goal>enforce</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <rules>
                <requireSameVersions>
                  <plugins>
                    <plugin>org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin</plugin>
                    <plugin>org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-failsafe-plugin</plugin>
                    <plugin>org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-report-plugin</plugin>
                  </plugins>
                </requireSameVersions>
                <requireSameVersions>
                  <dependencies>
                    <dependency>org.apache.maven</dependency> <!-- or org.apache.maven:* -->
                  </dependencies>
                </requireSameVersions>
              </rules>
            </configuration>
