I've taken a look at the code.

if I understood the plugin correctly, it modifies the effective pom on
the fly during the build.
as far as I understand it, it doesn't cover all cases (like plugin
configuration that uses a property value, or does it?) and it's not
capable of tiggering property based plugin activation. In that sense
it's less evil than I thought initially. I don't fully understand the
usecases but obviously it's useful to someone. That shall not stop me
to raise my concerns though.

Do we have a requirement that all plugins must be embedded IDE friendly?

AFAIK not, however once such use gets spread, you will get bug reports.

I'm generally more concerned about stuff ( read: maven core
components) that prevents reading a correct effective pom in embedded
environment than plugins.
