This ensures stability and reproducability of a maven build and will flag possible problems or conflicts with dependencies in a project.

About

This plugin is a friendly fork (same main authors) of the Ning maven-duplicate-finder plugin. It is configuration compatible to the ning plugin; the only change required is the group and artifact id of the plugin itself.

The plugins requires Apache Maven 3.x.x.

Starting with release 1.2.0, Java 7 or better is required.

Starting with release 1.3.0, Java 8 or better is required.

• duplicate-finder:help - displays standard maven plugin help information.
