If it's not happening it's an error. The first time you go to use a
plugin the dependencies should be downloaded. This is different from b7
where the first time you used maven _all_ plugin dependencies were
downloaded.

If you're not getting your plugin deps coming down it might be related
to the transitive plugin dependency problem. What isn't working for you?

I know what the problem is and I will try to get it fixed soon and try
to release a beta-9 next week.

Is it possible to have a different repository for the plugin related
jars than for my project related jars.

I really like to be able to rm -rf ~/javalibs/maven and have my
project pull down all its jars for a clean build even if my remote repo
does not have all of the jars needed by the plugins.

Please see my message in the "Re: using a central repository other than ibiblio ?" thread for a tip on using multiple remote repos. The only remaining issue is that plugins currently will always try to use ibiblio to satisfy their jar dependencies.
