Andreas Sewe commented on MPLUGIN-325:
--------------------------------------
I would go as far to say that the wording is outright misleading.
{quote}
So when you execute
mvn install
you will see that the version of the plugin in the plugin-registry.xml is
changed to the same version of the plugin that you have just installed.
{quote}
This is *not* what happens.
Also, the wording suggests that {{plugin:updateRegistry}} and
{{plugin:addPluginArtifactMetadata}} phase bindings are more similar than they
actually are:
{quote}
The plugin:addPluginArtifactMetadata goal, on the other hand, is bound to the
package phase of the build life cycle.
{quote}
The “on the other hand” seems to suggest that {{plugin:updateRegistry}} is –
like {{plugin:addPluginArtifactMetadata}} – bound by the {{maven-plugin}}
packaging to a phase, only that it is {{install}} rather than {{package}}. But
this is not the case.
