Not sure this is relevant anymore. Anyway you should now use "maven plugin:install" to install new plugins.

Environment: Maven HEAD with maven-xdoc-plugin-1.0.jar in the plugins dir and maven-xdoc-plugin-1.1 deployed in the plugins dir

Description:
I installed a newer version of a plugin (the xdoc plugin, whose version was upgraded to 1.1).
I copied maven-xdoc-plugin-1.1 to the plugins directory.
I ran "maven site" and the site was generated using the new plugin, as expected.
Then I removed the maven-xdoc-plugin-1.0 dir.
I kept the plugin jar in the plugins dir (in case something happens, I can reinstall it easily, removing the new one and letting Maven redeploy the old one).

I then ran "maven site" another time and the old plugin was deployed, whereas the new one was installed.

We should find a way to check whether a new version of a plugin is installed, before installing it.

An easy solution would be to delete manually the old plugin dir & jar, of course, but it looks like a good place to store plugins...
