Many plugins, e.g. compiler plugins, depend on other libraries, in this
case compilers. This is true for plugins such as Plexus Compiler,
AspectJ Maven, GMaven+. Usually, what a user needs to do to override the
default provided by the plugin (which is almost never exactly the
version the user wants), the user does something like:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.acme</groupId>
<artifactId>xy-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2.3</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.xy</groupId>
<artifactId>xy-compiler</artifactId>
<version>4.5</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
While this is not so much work, I was wondering if there is any way to
make it a little bit easier for the user as a plugin developer, so she
can do this instead:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.acme</groupId>
<artifactId>xy-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2.3</version>
<configuration>
<compilerVersion>4.5</compilerVersion>
</configuration>
</plugin>
My current knowledge of the Maven Way says, this is not possible. But I
am asking anyway, just because I am curious and did not find any helpful
resources online.
