As you can see in https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/eae39474cbb5a88048cea76709321f20e2f42b0b/maven-plugin-api/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/descriptor/PluginDescriptorBuilder.java#L42-L106 this field was never evaluated by the parser (although already contained in the PluginDescriptor object). Therefore effectively prior to Maven 4 it is only ever set via https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/eae39474cbb5a88048cea76709321f20e2f42b0b/maven-core/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/internal/DefaultMavenPluginManager.java#L191 through the according POM field. Therefore I would keep documenting that this is only supported with Plugin Descriptor v1.1 and Maven 4 only. Prior it was just a shortcut for accessing the plugin's POM prerequisites element. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
