Hi Mick, If you happen to have the sources from the Maven2 plugin trunk, then have a look at the parent POM, it defines 2 <dependencies> - JUnit and maven-plugin-api and you don\'t need to redefine them again in your plugin poms which extend from the parent.
Note however that the dependencies in this case are under the <project> element (and not <dependencyManagement>). I hope that was what you were looking for.
