In short: Don't do it, it is not supported by the Maven classloader. Long version: Maven loads every plugin/Mojo only once either because it is used in the POM by the user or because some malicious plugin loads it as dependency. Now, if the user and the malicious plugin do not agree over the plugin's version and the plugin versions are no longer compatible, the build simply breaks. > resolve its dependency on the xml-maven-plugin. I can't see the difference > between depending on a plugin artifact and depending on a jar artifact. There is a great difference for reasons internal to Maven.
