This is easily answered by simply looking at the file timestamps in Central repo. http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/ 2.4.3/ 08-Feb-2009 14:58 2.5/ 17-Jan-2010 09:31 compare to http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/maven-core/ 2.2.0/ 30-Jun-2009 18:14 2.2.1/ 11-Aug-2009 17:06 Thus, when Maven 2.2.1 was released, the most recent Surefire release was 2.4.3. As Anders said, this is a plugin which has its version managed by the super pom. If you require a more recent release, you will need to specify it explicitly in your own pom (and this is a best practice anyway).
