It can, but with different versions. The xdoclet plugin itself does not declare any dep to ant, so it is inherited. The problem is, that the used maven-antrun-plugin declares a dep to ant and ant-launcher, while the used xdoclet:xjavadoc artifact declares a dep on ant only. Obviously is ant:ant-launcher:1.6.5 used in the antrun plugin not compatible to ant:ant:1.5.1 used in xjavadoc... and I have no idea if there are more transitive deps to ant in all those declared deps of the xdoclet plugin. M206 has changed the sequence of the dep resolution and it does not have an idea that ant and ant-launcher are related ... since ant:ant-launcher:1.6.5 has a converted POM without any deps. So it worked formerly simply by chance.
