*supposedly*version is a noop if you have a local repository already setup you
can override either the settings.xml or pom.xml plugin declaration e.g.
<plugin>
<artifactId>foo</artifactId>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins<groupId>
<configuration>
<localRepositoryPath>/LookHereFirst</localRepositoryPath>
</configuration>
I have not been able to get this to work in 2.0.9
Perhaps John Casey or some of the dev crew can weigh in?
thanks,
Martin
