Thanks for all the info Mark, I greatly appreciate it. We will move onto the codehaus plugin immediately.
I'm still curious how "apt" can suddenly resolve to a new plugin without any POM changes. It seems like we wouldn't want that to happen? Or perhaps in Maven 2.1 a "conflict resolver" would've solved this problem? I am assuming that I picked up the codehaus plugin transitively, since I don't have any direct dependencies on it (yet).
