I try, but didn't found any information about what difference between e.g. 2.0 and 2.2 maven war plugin. Does it possible to find?
Thanks.
You can view release notes here. Unfortunately, I didn't find any way to specify 2 versions.
The best thing is to look at the change log

Currently I am working with 'Aether'. But I am confusing which is the most suitable 'Aether' library. And which one is the most suitable for maven plugin development. Thank you!
It is the same , if you click on the github of the sonatype Aether you will see the following :
DEPRECATED: This project moved to Eclipse, please follow the link below to find the new sources. http://www.eclipse.org/aether/
I'm comparing ant, maven and gradle to suggest one tool to my project. I have found projects like hiberante, grails, groovy and spring uses gradle. But could not found any noticeable projects in ant and maven. Does anybody knows such projects ?
Also i would like read your comments on these build tools so I can choose the best one.
Thanks in advance
One prominent Open source project that uses Ant is Apache Tomcat. You can find their build script here.
Apache Wicket and Apache Camel come to mind as popular projects that use Maven.
As for Ant, I don't really know. Spring used to, but as you said it now uses Gradle.
Take a look at https://builds.apache.org there you will find many examples for all tools
I see references to both on line but can't find out why. Is there a difference? If so, how?
maven-rpm-plugin is an older version of the plugin (which I suspect works with maven-1). rpm-maven-plugin is the one which works with the current versions of maven. You should be using this.
How do I know what version of a Maven plugin to use?
For example, where on the horrible Maven website can I find a list of versions of the compiler plugin?
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/
Here is what I do
Go to http://mvnrepository.com
Search for maven-compiler-plugin
You should find the first one is the one you need. http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.maven.plugins/maven-compiler-plugin
Find the one with the latest version and use that one
The above works because maven repo also has the latest plugins. Hope this helps.
Presumably, you're looking for the issue tracker, which shows issues, versions, changelogs, etc. On just about any of the "horrible" Maven plugin pages, you'll find a link to the issue tracker on the left side under "Project Information".
Does anyone know how to use maven jetty:run with filtering? I've seen some other answers using other maven goals (jetty:run-exploded) but these don't let me modify my html pages on the fly without restarting.
Thanks.
afaik, with jetty:run it uses the source code's files, not the target.
you might need to run replacements on your source code files in a phase before you start jetty.
if you dont want replacements on your source files, i think you're stuck with run-exploded
I found the solution and posted an answer to my own stack overflow question, FYI: How to filter resources when using maven jetty plugin?
Not sure whether I should duplicate that post, but I can if that's a requirement for acceptance.
