---------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 2.2.2
all scopes EXCEPT system will be forced to runtime for plugin-level

> Plugin-level dependencies should use RUNTIME scope at all times. Using any
> other scope may alter the weighting given to the subgraph-choice algorithm
> used in transitive dependency resolution.
> Plugin-level dependencies use compile scope by default. When transitive
> resolution takes place, compile scope takes precedence over runtime scope,
> causing the transitive dependency sub-graph of the plugin-level dependency to
> be activated over those of the plugin itself.
> This happens even when the plugin's transitive dep is NEARER to the top level
> than the one brought in by that plugin-level dependency itself.
> The result is that when a dep that's farther away is chosen over a nearer
> one, it can then be disabled by Maven choosing to disable its parent dep (the
> one that brought it in) in another part of the transitive resolution process.
> This is a very subtle case where Maven is doing the wrong thing. The attached
> test case should make it clearer.
