-Dversions.outputFile argument fails to write file introduced in 2.9.0

[jcamerin]

This issue seems to be introduced in version 2.9.0 of the versions plugin. Using version 2.8.1 the output file is generated.

20:01:20 + mvn versions:display-plugin-updates -Dversions.outputFile=pluginReport.txt

Using versions plugin 2.9.0, I get the following error:

looks like a duplicate of #542, fixed with #547 in next release

Yup, I agree. I missed in my search for issues. Closing this issue
