Yes. Compile against foobar normally. The users can specify the dependency they want in the plugin configuration block. This is working in 2.0.9, you can see http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3426 and http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2972 for more information.
In this way you can say your plugin will use FooBar version x.y by default, but if they want to use another one, they can do so by overriding it in their pom. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Miles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 4:24 PM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: plugin dependencies question All, I have a plugin I wrote, that use framework FooBar. This plugin will work with FooBar version 1.1 through 1.8. I have numerous maven projects that use my plugin and all use different versions of FooBar. The version of FooBar is important to each project as compilation is performed (compiled units are not backwards compatible). Is there a way to create my plugin so that it uses FooBar for compilation, however the individual projects specify which version of FooBar to the plugin via the pom?
