<version> tag is ignored for plugins in the <reporting> section of the POM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2350
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2350
Project: Maven 2
Type: Bug
Components: Sites & Reporting
Versions: 2.0.4
Environment: Windows XP
Reporter: Gunther Popp
A version defined for a plugin in the <reporting> section of the POM is
ignored. For example, I would expect that the following definition in a POM
forces the usage of version 2.0-beta-4 of the site-plugin:
<project>
...
<reporting>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-beta-4</version>
</plugin>
...
However, Maven always uses the newer version 2.0-beta-5:
>mvn site -X
+ Error stacktraces are turned on.
Maven version: 2.0.4
...

It doesn´t matter, if the plugin already exists in the local repostitory or not.
