Problem analysis:
-----------------
Let's imagine I have the following in a plugin I'm writing:
<project>
<extend>${basedir}/../../default-project.xml</extend>
<id>cactus-maven</id>
<name>Maven Cactus plugin</name>
[...]
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>cactus</groupId>
<artifactId>cactus</artifactId>
<version>13-${pom.currentVersion}</version>
</dependency>
[...]
Note that the project.xml extends another POM and that the currentVersion is inherited
from default-project.xml
If I type "maven plugin:install", the installed plugin will not work as its
project.xml will be parsed at runtime and the dependencies will not be able to be
resolved as default-project.xml would not be available.
Solution:
---------
One solution is of course to forbid inheritance in plugins. However, that's not nice
as a plugin is a maven project which can be part of a more global project.
A better solution IMO would be that plugin:install will rewrite the full project.xml,
including the inherited items. This modified project.xml will get package in the
plugin jar.
