[jira] [Created] (MNG-7786) Maven Plugin Validation message is misleading

Tamas Cservenak created MNG-7786:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Maven Plugin Validation message is misleading
                 Key: MNG-7786
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7786
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 3.9.2
            Reporter: Tamas Cservenak
             Fix For: 3.9.3


The Maven artifact scope validation is misleading, it claims "... should declare in provided scope", and this may happen in this case:
 * perfectly valid POM (does declare Maven artifacts in provided scope)
 * but plugin developer uses problematic maven-plugin-plugin (ie. 3.6.2 that suffers from descriptor generation bug)

Proposal:
 * reword the message, to clearly point at "plugin descriptor contains bad entries..."
 * add new check that _actually checks plugin dependencies_ (and not "derived" descriptor dependencies that may differ from POM declared ones due m-p-p bug)
