I'm confused - plugin installation dirs

[Nathan Coast]

AFAICT there are 3 directories that plugins can end up in

<maven_local_home>\repository\groupId\plugins

<maven_local_home>\repository\maven\plugins

<maven_home>\plugins

they are then extracted to

<maven_local_home>\plugins

executing plugin:install results in this output:

jar:jar:
    [copy] Copying 1 file to D:\apache\maven\local\repository\maven\plugins
plugin:install:
    [copy] Copying 1 file to D:\apache\maven\plugins
so the plugin gets copied to two dirs!

can someone explain which plugins should go where with the new 
plugins-as-artifacts model?  I'm having difficulty understanding what 
happens when a plugin is defined as a dependency.  If the plugin exists 
in multiple places which one takes precedence and why?

just spent a couple of hours trying to work out why old versions of 
plugins were being executed after I'd run plugin:install with newer 
versions.

thanks
Nathan
