The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the
[Apache Maven Invoker Plugin, version 3.1.0](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-invoker-plugin/).

The Invoker Plugin is used to run a set of Maven projects. The plugin can
determine whether each project execution is successful, and optionally can
verify the output generated from a given project execution.

This plugin is in particular handy to perform integration tests for other Maven
plugins. The Invoker Plugin can be employed to run a set of test projects that
have been designed to assert certain features of the plugin under test.

You should specify the version in your project's plugin configuration:

```xml
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-invoker-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>3.1.0</version>
</plugin>
```


You can download the appropriate sources etc. from the download page:
