Ignores version of plugin dependency specified in my pom
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2972
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2972
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Dependencies
Affects Versions: 2.0.6
Environment: maven 2.0.6, java version "1.5.0_07"
Reporter: Derek Alexander
Priority: Critical
xmlbeans-maven-plugin declares a dependency on xmlbeans-2.0.0
I want to use xmlbeans-2.2.0
So in my pom I put:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>xmlbeans-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>xmlbeans</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
...
</configuration>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>xmlbeans</groupId>
<artifactId>xbean</artifactId>
<version>2.2.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin
But it still downloads 2.0.0. (as well as 2.2.0). Haven't got a clue which it
is using as it doesn't seem to output stuff like that. Couldn't see a verbose
or debug switch mentioned in the docs. Anyway I think it is still using 2.0.0.
Seems like I'm not the first to experience this:

Apparently this should be possible: http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#plugins
"dependencies: Dependencies are seen a lot within the POM, and are an element
under all plugins element blocks. The dependencies have the same structure and
function as under that base build. The major difference in this case is that
instead of applying as dependencies of the project, they now apply as
dependencies of the plugin that they are under. The power of this is to alter
the dependency list of a plugin, perhaps by removing an unused runtime
dependency via exclusions, or by altering the version of a required dpendency.
See above under Dependencies for more information."
