The alternative is a far more complicated set of checks about which plugins should be applied to which projects (possibly levels of install to maven, install to user and install to project via dependency only), but that should be tried at a later date. --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
