Tamas Cservenak commented on MPLUGIN-522:
-----------------------------------------

In that case just fail the build (like we did with prefix). You cannot auto 
deduce developer intent, as example shows, it happens in a wrong way.

> The auto prerequisites are way to aggressive

> IMHO the implementation done in MPLUGIN-425 and MPLUGIN-424 are wrong.
> They are way too aggresive and violate backward compatibility: if new feature 
> is not explicitly set by user, code should not "come up" with some automatic 
> value. By having the value not set simply means user does not want to use it.
> This is especially true for (maven or java) prerequisite, as it creates HARD 
> BREAKAGE if not met. Use of prerequisite is opt-in, but now it is FORCED onto 
> user.
