The most important plugins for Java 11 are the compiler plugin, surefire (for unit-tests) and failsafe (for integration-tests). from your projects root directory to just check your parent POM in case of multi-module projects. After you’ve updated your plugin versions make sure that your project still compiles and runs properly.

You will see a list of plugins used in your project with newer versions available. Open up the terminal and execute this command to find the plugin versions you have to update: mvn versions:display-plugin-updates This plugin helps finding the latest plugin or dependency versions for your modules. Make sure you have the versions plugin configured in your master POM: Also a lot of libraries are incompatible without migrating to the latest version. Many plugins such as the compiler plugin, surefire or failsafe are not compatible with Java 9 if you use older versions. In order to migrate your project to the latest Java version 11 it’s highly recommended to update as much plugins and dependencies to the latest stable version as possible. That way all your plugins and dependencies are defined in a single file and are not spread across multiple POM files what makes managing versions easier. If your project is a multi-module Maven project then it helps to establish a parent POM and maintain dependencyManagement und pluginManagement in this file. The first thing you should do before even thinking about upgrading the Java version is to clean up your pom.xml files.
