Maven dependencies on itself.

[Ralph Goers <Ra...@dslextreme.com>]

Maybe this won't strike you as strange but it did me. I ran a mvn 
install on a project using 2.0.9. In the course of that 
maven-project-2.0, maven-project-2.0.6, maven-2.0.7, and 
maven-project-2.0.9 were downloaded, installed into the local repo and 
then used in the build. As you would expect this is due to the use of 
the various plugins used during the build. Knowing what I know about 
maven I understand why this us.  But the question remains, doesn't this 
just seem wrong? Shouldn't maven 2.0.9 only use maven 2.0.9 jars?

Rats. Please ignore. Wrong list.
