Is the plugin needed?

[V.A, Chandan]

Hi All,
I found this plugin in the module odata-web pom.xml

<plugin>
        <groupId>com.sap.research</groupId>
        <artifactId>nwcloud-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0.RELEASE</version>
</plugin>

Is this needed?

Thanks,
Kind Regards
Chandan VA
