    Summary: Resolve project.xml inheritance when installing plugin

Description:
Problem analysis:
-----------------

Let's imagine I have the following in a plugin I'm writing:

<project>
  <extend>${basedir}/../../default-project.xml</extend>
  <id>cactus-maven</id>
  <name>Maven Cactus plugin</name>
[...]
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>cactus</groupId>
      <artifactId>cactus</artifactId>
      <version>13-${pom.currentVersion}</version>
    </dependency>
[...]

Note that the project.xml extends another POM and that the currentVersion is inherited from default-project.xml

If I type "maven plugin:install", the installed plugin will not work as its project.xml will be parsed at runtime and the dependencies will not be able to be resolved as default-project.xml would not be available.

Solution:
---------
One solution is of course to forbid inheritance in plugins. However, that's not nice as a plugin is a maven project which can be part of a more global project.

A better solution IMO would be that plugin:install will rewrite the full project.xml, including the inherited items. This modified project.xml will get package in the plugin jar.
