+# Update Parent
+
+Here's an example:
+
+```shell
+svn checkout http://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/tags/xmlbeans-maven-plugin-2.3.1 xmlbeans-maven-plugin
+cd xmlbeans-maven-plugin
+mvn versions:update-parent
+```
+
+Which produces the following output:
+
+```log
+[INFO] Scanning for projects...

+
+You can restrict the versions to be considered:
+
+```shell
+mvn versions:update-parent "-DparentVersion=[14,16)"
+```
+
+Note that, by default, -SNAPSHOT versions are ignored. You can force snapshots to be 
+included with the allowSnapshots parameter:
+
+```shell
+mvn versions:update-parent -DallowSnapshots=true
+```
