The best way to declare plugin versions is to use pluginManagement:

 <build> <pluginManagement> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.18.1</version> </plugin> ... </plugins> <pluginManagement> </build>

In addition, it is best to declare all plugins and their corresponding version through pluginManagement in the parent pump (usually this is pom).

Just declare the desired version in POM, where you specify the surefire plugin.

As I recall, Maven 3 will really complain if you do not explicitly specify the desired version for each plugin.

eg:

 <plugin> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <version>XXX</version> </plugin>
