John Casey commented on MNG-3394:
---------------------------------
the *Management sections of the POM were originally designed to provide default
values, not overrides. This behavior was changed for dependencies in MNG-1577
IIRC, but I don't know when the change was made for plugins. The behavior
should probably be controlled in the class
org.apache.maven.project.injection.DefaultModelDefaultsInjector.java (in
maven-project). I've looked into this class in both 2.0.x and trunk, and
they're the same...not sure whether that means the change happened before the
split (unlikely) or was ported across (more likely), but in both cases it looks
like it only uses the pluginManagement version if the main version is missing
and the pluginManagement version is not.
I'm not really sure what's going on here, but hopefully that can shed a little
light on the background for this.
