Downloaded plugin dependencies influence project dependencies
-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MNG-3383
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3383
             Project: Maven 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Artifacts and Repositories, Dependencies, Plugins and 
Lifecycle
    Affects Versions: 2.0.8
            Reporter: Stefan Seidel
         Attachments: pom.xml

Currently, a plugin may define additional pluginRepositories, which are used to 
resolve dependencies of that plugin.

This leads to the fact that a plugin might resolve a dependency which would 
normally not be available to the project.

When it does that, it seems to write a metadata-central (although on the 
central repo this artifact does not exist) and thus, the project will use that 
dependency, too.

How to reproduce:
1. remove xstream from local repo:
{code}rm -Rf ~/.m2/repository/com/thoughtworks/xstream{code}
2. run mvn clean install on the attached pom.xml
-> the build should fail because the version 1.3.0-SNAPSHOT is not available at 
repo1.maven.org
3. edit the pom.xml, uncomment the plugin definition (jspc used for 
demonstration purposes only)
3. run mvn clean install again
-> the build succeeds and the 1.3.0-SNAPSHOT is being built into the artifact, 
which is wrong.
