> 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)
