Plugins with indirect dependency on plexus-utils are stuck with plexus-utils:1.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4276
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4276
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Class Loading, Plugins and Lifecycle
Affects Versions: 2.0.6
Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
To compensate the effect that MNG-2892 would have on bad plugins, a hack was
put into the core that automagically injects plexus-utils:1.1 as a direct
plugin dependency if the plugin does not already declare a direct dependency on
plexus-utils:1.1+. However, only checking the plugin's direct dependencies for
plexus-utils ignores any version of plexus-utils that is used by a transitive
dependency. This corrupts the runtime class path of the plugin and can result
in linkage errors like reported in [AW: NPE with maven-changelog-plugin and
git|http://markmail.org/message/naniwae3p2rgvvhe].
