Downloading latest jar files

Question

I have a list of jar files. I want to check whether any new version is available. One way to do so is to check one by one. I was wondering if there is a another shorter way of doing it?

I see you have maven in your tags - maven is great for this kind of thing, but are you saying that it's still not enough? — ControlAltDel, May 04 '12 at 14:26
*"I have a list of Jar files"* What are they used for? E.G. A web-app., a desktop app., .. — Andrew Thompson, May 04 '12 at 15:15

If this question is really Maven related, this can be achieved by using the versions-maven-plugin. Go into your project an do the following on command line:

mvn versions:display-dependency-updates

For maven, use maven-versions-plugin to find out if new version of dependencies is available.

mvn versions:display-dependency-updates
