[jira] Created: (MNG-3799) Plugins to take version ranges

Plugins to take version ranges
------------------------------

                 Key: MNG-3799
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3799
             Project: Maven 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Plugin API
    Affects Versions: 2.0.6
         Environment: Linux: Kubuntu 8.04.1
            Reporter: D Lester


For dependencies the user can specify a version range but this is not allowed for plugins - only an explicit version is allowed. 

In a development environment, it is useful to get new versions of plugins as they become available - so that code can be tested and integrated with the latest plugin version.

The proposed enhancement is to allow ranges in plugins in the same way as dependencies.

       Resolution: Won't Fix

better to use the versions-maven-plugin to do this in a controlled fashion
