Root pom doesn't specify maven-eclipse-plugin version

[Martijn Dashorst <ma...@gmail.com>]

Using maven 2.0.10, I ran into the maven-eclipse-plugin 2.6 bug fix
that excludes anything not Java from being on the classpath. I didn't
upgrade my eclipse plugin, and thought that as of 2.0.8 the root pom
specifies stable plugins for each release. Apparently,
maven-eclipse-plugin is not amongst the listed, fixed plugins, since I
got version 2.6 today.

Is there a reason why the eclipse plugin is not part of the root pom
specification?

The effective pom for my project suggests that the following plugins
have a version specified in the root pom:

maven-antrun-plugin:1.3
maven-assembly-plugin:2.2-beta-2
maven-clean-plugin:2.2
maven-compiler-plugin:2.0.2
maven-dependency-plugin:2.0
maven-deploy-plugin:2.4
maven-ear-plugin:2.3.1
maven-ejb-plugin:2.1
maven-install-plugin:2.2
maven-jar-plugin:2.2
maven-javadoc-plugin:2.5
maven-plugin-plugin:2.4.3
maven-rar-plugin:2.2
maven-release-plugin:2.0-beta-8
maven-resources-plugin:2.3
maven-site-plugin:2.0-beta-7
maven-source-plugin:2.0.4
maven-surefire-plugin:2.4.3
maven-war-plugin:2.1-alpha-2

And I know that it is prudent to have a version specified for each
build to ensure reproducability (as evidenced by todays hunt after the
inadvertent upgrade to eclipse 2.6)

Under the current system, it would make getting the latest version  
from the command line too awkward, so hasn't been done for plugins  
primarily run from there and not the lifecycle.

More detail: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4100
