I ran into some issues with the Maven Enforcer plugin. Since I'm using
the latest and greatest straight from Subversion I didn't want to
create a JIRA ticket without first making sure that that would be
helpful.

Given that 1.0-alpha-3 doesn't support requirePluginVersions I want to
use 1.0-SNAPSHOT. However, I don't want to force other developers to
install the Enforcer locally (I haven't set up a mirror repository
yet) so I figured I'd use a profile. As it turns out, however, if I
put m-e-p in a profile like so

<profile>
  <id>enforce</id>
  <build>
    <pluginManagement>
      <plugins>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-enforcer-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>1.0-Local-1</version>
          <executions>...</executions>
        </plugin>
      </plugins>
    </pluginManagement>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-enforcer-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.0-Local-1</version>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</profile>

and then run something like "mvn compile -Penforce", it fails because
the Compiler plugin has not been explicitely set. Perfect.

However, once its version has been specified (and those for the Site,
Install, Deploy, Compiler, Jar, Surefire, Resources, and Clean
plugins), the Enforcer *still* complains ... about its own version!
Even though I've specified it in two places. Removing the profile part
and putting the Enforcer straight into the <build>...</build> works,
though.

So this leads me to two questions:

1. Why do I have to specify seemingly unrelated plugins when only
requesting the Compiler plugin? (This is not a big deal, of course,
I'll have to set their versions anyway.)
2. Should the profile set up work?

Cheers,
Hilco
