Release plugin does not change version of plugin's dependency even though it is in reactor

[Hayes, Peter]

I am using the checkstyle plugin for a multi-module build.  As directed
in the checkstyle documentation, I configured the checkstyle plugin to
include a dependency on one of my sub projects like this :

        ...
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
        <dependencies>
          <dependency>
            <groupId>com.example.whizbang</groupId>
            <artifactId>build-tools</artifactId>
            <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
          </dependency>
        </dependencies>
      </plugin>
        ...

When running a release build, the reference to the build tools version
does not get updated to the target release version, even though the
build-tools project is a sub-module of the project.

Could the release plugin be enhanced to update this version?
