> > One challenge we have with Maven Tiles is that plugin configurations for

being merged. The order will have to be clearly specified though.
When you say merged - in what way?
A (parent):
```
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<a>a</a>
<c>a</c>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
```
B (child)
```
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<b>b</b>
<c>b</c>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
```
What would be the outcome of the above?
1. The entire plugin is configured by A or B depending on order
2. Everything is merged but A has priority so
<a>a</a>
<b>b</b>
<c>a</c>
3. Everything is merged but B has priority so
<a>a</a>
<b>b</b>
<c>b</c>
4. other outcome
