   Clarification after checking the newer maintenance branches: this change is 
specific to Maven 3.9.x. The maven-3.10.x branch no longer carries these 
default plugin versions in the Super POM, so there is no corresponding Super 
POM entry for maven-dependency-plugin to update there.
   
   With Maven 3.10.x, the short form `mvn dependency:add` resolves the 
`dependency` prefix from plugin metadata to 
`org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin`, then resolves the plugin 
version from repository metadata. Since Maven Central currently advertises 
`maven-dependency-plugin` `<release>3.11.0</release>`, Maven 3.10.x can resolve 
the canonical short form to 3.11.0 without a Super POM change, subject to 
normal metadata freshness (for example, `-U` if a local cache is stale).
