What we seem to need is a way to prevent folks having to enter 20 plugin dependencies in all their project.xml. These are the "core plugin". But these plugins do not have to be located in Maven nor do they need to be distributed with Maven.
This is a little weird.
project.xml contains dependencies for code, for compiling, testing and
running (maybe with distinction among them in future).
Adding plugins to dependencies is artifical.
How about something like
maven plugin:install foo -D"maven.repo.remote=http://my.plugin.repository/maven,http://www.ibiblio.org/maven";
This is done once and it is independent from any project exactly the way core plugins are installed now.
