<maven:pluginVar /> in RC2 is a read only tag for this. In RC3, this will be deprecated and a :get/:set type tag introduced. Unfortunately the tag documentation has disappeared off the site recently due to a CVS move.

Versionining is not well defined in Maven 1.x. All of the plugin installation goals actually remove all previous versions. - Brett
