I had an issue where the plugin (because I used Sling Parent POM) and could not 
figure out what it needed.
Then I realized that the plugin was outdated but guessed that when it set 
’strict’ to false that it would let me process which it did.

Anyhow I am concerned that eventually this plugin will fail and I think we 
should move away now that when it is not working anymore.

Cheers - Andy
