do with Ant).

> If someone is akin for "swiss knife" plugins like these, for me is clear
sign that they want to even widen their "hacking", that is IMHO another sign,
they should be using Gradle, Ant or whatever else. Maven is a _declarative
build system_.

This is also already possible in the exec plugin, and no one said this was
a vuln (see Romains comment). Then, this would mean you need also get rid of
exec-plugin.
Then, what about the requirements history?
Why was this plugin released in the first place? There could have been a
vote against it at that time?
