Eric Bresie commented on NETBEANS-5064:
---------------------------------------

May be a little tangent here but thinking from a build dependency management 
perspective here...

In maven projects used during build/compile time, the specific dependencies can 
be spelled out in the pom and when building it pulls down from the remote 
repositories as needed.  

Is it conceivable to have similar "dependency management" for plugin which when 
needing a specific nbm version, pull that down and allow usage?  

Assume there would be the platform versions of nb dependencies available and 
then a secondary nb dependencies (maybe in .m2 local repository) to leverage 
whenever using the given plugin. 

Or am I completely misunderstanding the problem here?
