Solution 1
You have to add the versions maven plugin into the reporting part of your pom to create appropriate reports about dependency updates.
<reporting>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>versions-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3.1</version>
<reportSets>
<reportSet>
<reports>
<report>dependency-updates-report</report>
<report>plugin-updates-report</report>
<report>property-updates-report</report>
</reports>
</reportSet>
</reportSets>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</reporting>
You can not install the versions-maven-plugin in Eclipse, cause the version-maven-plugin is a Maven plugin and not a Eclipse plugin. But not an bad idea.

How can I add the Versions-Maven-Plugin to my Eclipse projects ??
I tried the
Add Plugins
menu option but it doesn't seem to be able to find the plugin.
