>          Key: MPPLUGIN-3
>          URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPPLUGIN-3
>      Project: maven-plugin-plugin
>         Type: Improvement
>     Reporter: Vincent Massol
>     Assignee: Arnaud Heritier
>      Fix For: 1.7

> Problem analysis:
> -----------------
> Let's imagine I have the following in a plugin I'm writing:
> <project>
>   <extend>${basedir}/../../default-project.xml</extend>
>   <id>cactus-maven</id>
>   <name>Maven Cactus plugin</name>
> [...]
>   <dependencies>
>     <dependency>
>       <groupId>cactus</groupId>
>       <artifactId>cactus</artifactId>
>       <version>13-${pom.currentVersion}</version>
>     </dependency>
> [...]
> Note that the project.xml extends another POM and that the currentVersion is inherited from default-project.xml
> If I type "maven plugin:install", the installed plugin will not work as its project.xml will be parsed at runtime and the dependencies will not be able to be resolved as default-project.xml would not be available.
> Solution:
> ---------
> One solution is of course to forbid inheritance in plugins. However, that's not nice as a plugin is a maven project which can be part of a more global project.
> A better solution IMO would be that plugin:install will rewrite the full project.xml, including the inherited items. This modified project.xml will get package in the plugin jar.
