Thanks Igor, could you give me a link to an example or some code that
- Utilises AbstractMavenLifecycleParticipant#afterProjectsRead - How to manipulate the project <dependencies> from there. I found an example example by Brett Porter, but the doco is pretty thin and I can't see how I would go about inject extra elements into the classpath from there.
