[jira] [Commented] (MNG-7885) Plugin dependencies should be part in dependency management

["Lars Uffmann (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7885?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17765486#comment-17765486 ] 

Lars Uffmann commented on MNG-7885:
-----------------------------------

The maven compiler-plugin use case. I could add mapstruct-processor and lombok as an optional compile time dependency and their versions would be part of standard dependency management mechanism.

 
{code:java}
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <annotationProcessorPaths>
      <path>
        <groupId>org.mapstruct</groupId>
        <artifactId>mapstruct-processor</artifactId>
        <version>${mapstruct.version}</version>
      </path>
      <path>
        <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
        <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
        <version>${lombok.version}</version>
      </path>
    </annotationProcessorPaths>
  </configuration>
</plugin>
{code}

> It would be a great improvement in dependency management if plugin dependencies could be part of the standard dependency management resolution. In the example below I could manage the version of the rewrite-maven-plugin using pluginManagement, the version of the rewrite-spring plugin dependency however has to be set in place.

> Other plugins are using special configurations to declare extra dependencies. The version. management issue however is the same. A good example is   
> _annotationProcessorPaths_ of the compiler plugin.
