Christopher Tubbs commented on MPOM-218:
----------------------------------------
In Accumulo, we just just provide a basic "DEPENDENCIES" file. The plugin
doesn't clobber the one that already exists:
https://github.com/apache/accumulo/blob/rel/2.0.0/DEPENDENCIES
> consider impact of maven-remote-resources-plugin in plugins not
> pluginManagement

> Project: Maven POMs
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Adrian Cole
> Priority: Major
>
> While maven-remote-resources-plugin in plugins, it is difficult to work with
> vs if it were in pluginManagement. For example, the parent pom can spit out a
> distracting empty DEPENDENCIES file, which ends up by default in the source
> distribution.
> I've noticed multiple projects (ex dubbo, edgent) creating separate
> distribution modules which on one hand works around this issue, but on the
> other is a source of maintenance.
> I'd ask to consider using pluginManagement instead, or possibly having the
> ability to not create a DEPENDENCIES file when there are none, which would
> also solve the problem. Maybe there's also another way to strip this out with
> an assembly, but I've failed to figure this out.
