If you want to do it fast you can use www.versioneye.com site.

There you can define your project and upload project pom.xml, the site will also send you regular emails which notify you about new updates.

You can also mention which libraries do you want to check for update.

I don't know if it automatically fully sync with maven repo or not, but I always find its lib versions are update.

Update:

After 6 years the project switched off :(

So the mvn versions:display-dependency-updates seems to be the choice.
