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


This issue causes MNG-3473. Reverting the change in v633014 causes the tests to pass.

> Many maven plugins are wrapper around other tools. The plugin is designed for a version of the tool, and in many case user will want to use a specific version without having to patch the plugin. The <dependency> element on plugin configuration is a common way to do this, by overriding the plugin POM dependency with another version. 
> <plugin>
>    <artifactId>castor-maven-plugin</artifactId>
>    <dependencies>
>        <dependency>
>             <groupId>org.codehaus.castor</groupId>
>             <artifactId>castor</artifactId>
>             <version>VERSION OF CASTOR I WANT TO USE FOR CODE GENERATION</version>
>        </dependency>
>    </dependencies>
> </plugin>
> This used to work with maven < 2.0.8
> In maven 2.0.8, this doesn't work anymore as the <dependency> set in plugin configuration is added to plugin classpath, as a duplicate for the one declared by the plugin but LATER in the classpath (but I may be wrong on this analysis).
