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). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
