             Summary: [RFC] POM using attributes for plugin definitions
                 Key: MNG-5653
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5653
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: FDPFC
            Reporter: Karl-Heinz Marbaise


{code:xml}
<plugins>
  <plugin groupId="org.apache.maven.plugins" artifactId="maven-compiler-plugin" version="3.1"/>
  ...
</plugins>
{code}
Or configuration for a plugin:

{code:xml}
<plugins>
  <plugin groupId="org.apache.maven.plugins" artifactId="maven-compiler-plugin" version="3.1">
    <configuration>
     ....
   </configuration>
 </plugin>
  ...
</plugins>
{code}

Based on the above a pluginManagement block (if it will continue to exist) would be come very short:
{code:xml}
<build>
  <pluginManagement>
    <plugins>
      <plugin id="maven-compiler-plugin:3.1"/>
      <plugin id="maven-resources-plugin:2.6"/>
      <plugin id="maven-ear-plugin:2.4"/>
      ...
    <plugins>
  </pluginManagement>
{code}
