I meant the plugin:install method, meaning everyone who wanted to build a project would need to run plugin:install to get the plugin on their system with the plugin source as you mentioned. The reason I did this is because if a developer downloads the source of a project and wants to build it and the plugin has changed, it won't get the latest version unless you specify SNAPSHOT, at least it wasn't getting it. So if the developer wants a new version, what do they do? They would try to run plugin:download and they would need to know the groupId, artifactId, and version, which isn't always apparent to a infrequent user, which the developers in my group are.
