For all non POM/dependency and POM/plugins/plugin/dependency elements, especially for plugin config like this one (or like compiler anno processor is, etc) we MUST BE CLEAR that it works ONLY for _external dependencies_. These elements do NOT participate in project topological sorting, hence, becomes impossible to use some reactor project for these (without hacks). Moreover, if using reactor artifacts, this is one of the reasons why users are forced to to `mvn install` as 1st pass, and from 2nd pass onward "it will work", but again, what is being used "lags" one build cycle (as installed thing is being used, not the currently built one).
