Benjamin Bentmann commented on MNG-3394:
----------------------------------------
bq. I think this is intended behaviour
Oh please not. What would be the rationale for that? If a user explicitly
declares a {{<version>}} element under {{<build>.<plugins>}} isn't that a clear
indication of this intention to use that version? Do you want to explain to
users why that is ignored and they need to hassle with setting up a
{{<pluginManagement>}} entry just for the fun of overriding a plugin version
inherited from the parent? Do you want to clarify why the little sentence
"Plugin Management contains plugin elements in much the same way, except that
*rather than configuring plugin information for this particular project* build,
it is intended to configure project builds that inherit from this one." that
users learned from http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Plugin_Management is not
quite up with the reality?
Last but not least, the lack to override the version only manifest itself
a) for a lifecycle phase, not for a direct mojo invocation
b) only for the first lifecycle phase
bq. what if you change the pluginManagement of child modules?
As I already commented in the attached demo POMs, this successfully allows the
childs to change the version.
> Plugin versions inherited via <pluginManagement> cannot be overriden by
> <build>.<plugins> section of sub modules
