> The POM maven/prerequisite field (applicable only to maven-plugin packaged artifacts) will become more and more important, especially when 3.9.x and 4.0.x possibly start to coexists.
> Similar to MPLUGIN-450 it is best practice if plugin has it defined to make potential error messages clear to end users (ie. tries to use plugin made for Maven 4 in Maven 3.9 or so).
> Unsure is there sense to make plugins without prerequisite, before, Maven2 plugins worked nicely in Maven3, but in Maven4 at some point (maybe in Maven5) we will have a disruption, and close up the guts of Maven and allow only API usage, making plugins incompatible with pre-4 Maven versions.
