You could take it further and think of the whole issue of dependencies and the fact that there are basically 3 'types' ... build, test, and runtime.Or: each plugin has dependencies, and the java:compile one fills its dependency list from the POM, the test:* one fills its dependency list from some other location in the POM, etc.
Saying that each plugin can have a dependency but that that dependency list can come from anywhere (like the POM, i.e. it doesn't need to be hardcoded) allows for more flexibility in the future.
