How to get an up to date plugin?
Yes, I've read the docs at
http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-testing-development-plugins.html.
But I still don't seem to be able to get an update of maven-install-plugin.
I can see mvn downloading a snapshot from the snapshot repo, but it is still
an old version (2.0-SNAPSHOT).
I can see in the source code that this plugin changed 5 months ago to fix
the problem I am experiencing [MINSTALL-12], but I can't find an up to date
distribution. Can this be correct?
What is the process for core plugins like this one to be released to central
/ snapshot repository? Shouldn't a bug fix from 5 months ago have reached
the community by now? Is there some documentation to help me with this (I
scoured the maven web s ite but came up with nothing)?

Building the latest version of the plugins require to set the snapshot
repository.
Have a look at the guide:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-testing-development-plugins.html
Your required dependency can be found there:
http://people.apache.org/maven-snapshot-repository/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-plugins/2-SNAPSHOT/
I guess you shoudl correct parent pom to version 1 of maven-plugins, since
current 2-SNAPSHOT version will require you to get maven-2.0.5-SNAPSHOT. Or
else, you can still install the latest version of maven :)

Thanks. I'll try and follow it through the JIRA updates. You'd think there
would be an easy way to find out the status of core plugins like install
from the main maven website. Oh well...
But what do I have to build to get this to work? If I just try to build the
plugin (against 2.0.4) it complains:
~/dev/opvantage/maven/maven-install-plugin>mvn install
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] FATAL ERROR
[INFO]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.
GroupId: org.apache.maven.plugins
ArtifactId: maven-plugins
Version: 2-SNAPSHOT
Reason: Unable to download the artifact from any repository
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-plugins:pom:2-SNAPSHOT
from the specified remote repositories:
central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2)
so there are dependencies that cannot be resolved? This is all a bit too
complicated in my humble op.

Just check it out from SCM and build it for yourself. (mvn install on the
checked out project should do the trick)
Maven plugins are published on quite an unregular basis (even on snapshot
repository), as far as I can see :)
For release on central, you get a vote of Maven Comitters and PMC members
before releasing a 'stable' version of a plugin (or of whichever else
artifact).
