Plugin dependencies for module ignored when building from aggregated project
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3801
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3801
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Dependencies
Affects Versions: 2.0.9
Reporter: Lammert Westerhoff
I have defined a plugin in the build->plugins section in my pom. The plugin
needs a plugin dependency to get a certain resource during execution (it is the
maven-assembly-plugin that needs a custom descriptorRef that is located in
another jar). When building the project from the module directory, everything
works fine. But when I build the project from the parent aggregation from the
module, it seems to ignore the plugin dependency of the plugin defined in the
module and fails with an error that it cannot find my resource (in this case it
does not find my assembly descriptor).
A work around is to also put the plugin dependency in the parent aggregation
pom. The execution and configuration part can stay in the module pom. Now the
module plugin will get the plugin dependency for this plugin from the parent.
However, it also needs to stay in the module in case not building from the
aggregation.
