<div class="entry-content">
<p>The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the<br />
<a href="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-invoker-plugin/">Apache Maven Invoker Plugin, version 3.2.0</a>.</p>
<p>The Invoker Plugin is used to run a set of Maven projects. The plugin can<br />
determine whether each project execution is successful, and optionally can<br />
verify the output generated from a given project execution.</p>
<p>This plugin is in particular handy to perform integration tests for other Maven<br />
plugins. The Invoker Plugin can be employed to run a set of test projects that<br />
have been designed to assert certain features of the plugin under test.</p>
<p>You should specify the version in your project&rsquo;s plugin configuration:</p>
