Buiding a simple plugin :(

[Emmanuel Hugonnet <eh...@orange-ft.com>]

Hi,
I am trying to build a simple report building. My first error was to use 
jdk 1.5 enumerations. Thanks to Andrew Williams, it all seems to come 
from some bad dependency on jdox, and I tried to set it to the correct 
1.6.1 version. But my dependecy was not taken into account during the 
build so I checked and found that this was coming from 
maven-plugin-tools-java that was referencing the 1.5. I tried to build 
some local version 2.0.4 of this plugin and referenced the built version 
in my pom.xml. But this was not the end of it, because to my surprise, 
the version used to build my plugin was not the 2.0.4 as specified but 
the 2.0.1:((
After much probing I have found that this comes from 
"maven-plugin-plugin: resolved to version 2.1 from repository central" 
which uses 2.0.1 and no other up-to-date version. The 2.2-SNAPSHOT is of 
no use either since it goes directly to 2.0.5-SNASPHOT.
This is NOT what I excepted at ALL, and my "solution" was to set the 
qdox version to 1.6.1 in the pom.xml of maven-plugin-tools-java 2.0.1 on 
my local repository. This is quite unsatisfactory and I am open to any 
better solution or explanation.

After more thinking about this problem it looks like this is a kind of 
chicken-egg problem with Maven2: 
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-dev/200607.mbox/%3c44B61873.8040104@apache.org%3e 
.  Building plugins seems to create a dependecy to plugin-plugin and 
transitively to maven 2.0.1, not 2.0.4 (which is the version I currently 
use).  This seems to be to close to the core of Maven to override the 
dependency using dependencyManager. Is this correct ?
Is there a workaround for this king of problem ?
