Automatically installing a plugin SNAPSHOT

["Jefferson K. French" <je...@frenches.org>]

We're creating an internal plugin while developing a couple projects,
so I want those projects always to use the most recent version of the
plugin. I'd also like the plugin to be installed automatically, so I
don't have to remind everyone when I change it.

I've added a dependency with <type>plugin</type> to the POM. During a
build Maven downloads the latest plugin SNAPSHOT and puts it in my
local repo, but it doesn't expand and use it. Does maven.xml need to
explicitly invoke plugin:install-now or something similar, possibly as
a build:start preGoal? I'm using RC4.

Thanks. I found some discussion on this in the archives, but I'm still
not clear.
