using jikes?

[Joshua ChaitinPollak]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the jikes compiler with Maven. Following the  
directions here:

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/non-javac-compilers.html

I created this profile:

        <profile>
            <id>jikes</id>
            <activation>
                <property>
                    <name>jikes</name>
                </property>
            </activation>
            <build>
                <plugins>
                      <plugin>
                        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                        <configuration>
                          <compilerId>jikes</compilerId>
                        </configuration>
                        <dependencies>
                          <dependency>
                            <groupId>plexus</groupId>
                            <artifactId>plexus-compiler-jikes</ 
artifactId>
                            <version>1.3</version>
                          </dependency>
                        </dependencies>
                      </plugin>
                </plugins>
            </build>
        </profile>

(Note the groupId is different than at the website, mvnrepository.com  
indicates 'plexus' is the correct groupId.)

I expected that Maven would try and use jikes, but instead it appears  
the plugin isn't using the dependency:

[INFO] [compiler:compile {execution: Common}]

[ERROR] BUILD ERROR

[INFO] No such compiler 'jikes'.

[INFO] For more information, run Maven with the -e switch

Does anyone have any hints?
