----------------------------------

             Summary: When using maven.test.skip it should skip downloading plugins which will not be run
                 Key: MNG-5264
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5264
             Project: Maven 2 & 3
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Carlo de Wolf
            Priority: Minor


Given the following section:
{noformat}
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.scala-tools</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-scala-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <testSourceDir>src/test/scala</testSourceDir>
        </configuration>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>scala-test-compile</id>
            <phase>process-test-resources</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>testCompile</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
{noformat}

Maven will try to download the plugin irrespective of setting maven.test.skip or skipTests.
