Especially for plugins - yes. Stephen Conolly did a good job. There's also a
display-dependency-updates goal - however, here you have to keep a close
eye on the report. If the version does not follow the Maven strategy -x.y.z
or the metadata in the remote repo is incomplete or wrong, then the
reported versions are not  really helpful (for XStream):

[INFO]   jmock:jmock ................................. 1.0.1 ->
20031129.200437

Nonsense.

[INFO]   junit:junit ............................................. 3.8.1 ->
4.4

We have 4.5, but it's missing in central's metadata ...

[INFO]   xml-apis:xml-apis .................................... 1.3.04 ->
2.0.2
[INFO]   xmlpull:xmlpull ........................... 1.1.3.1 ->
1.1.3.4d_b4_min

Both versions are invalid.

So use it with care :)

Cheers,
Jörg
