       </question>
       <answer>
         <p>
-          If you have a licensed clover JAR, or you want to upgrade the version used by the plugin, you will
-          need to use a jar override to force the clover plugin to use the updated JAR.
-        </p>
-        <p>eg: To use a local copy of clover-1.2.4-registered.jar, add this to project.properties:</p>
-          <source>maven.jar.override=on
-maven.jar.clover=lib/clover-1.2.4-registered.jar</source>
-        <p>eg: To use version 1.2.5 from the repository, add this to project.properties:</p>
-          <source>maven.jar.override=on
-maven.jar.clover=1.2.5</source>
+          You don't! Clover has now separated the Clover jar from it's license and thus 
+          there's now no need to provide a custom jar. However you'll still need to provide
+          your own license (unless you're using this plugin on an open source project). You
+          specify your own license using the <code>maven.clover.license.path</code> property.
+          <source>maven.clover.license.path = /some/path/to/my/clover.license</source>
