title: how to specify the version of a plugin dependency when using Maven BOM files
body: <p>I have a Maven BOM file which I import into my project pom:</p>
  
  <pre><code>     &lt;dependencyManagement&gt;
          &lt;dependencies&gt;
              &lt;dependency&gt;
                  &lt;groupId&gt;be.company.mvn&lt;/groupId&gt;
                  &lt;artifactId&gt;be.company.mvn.bom.core&lt;/artifactId&gt;
                  &lt;version&gt;1.0.0-SNAPSHOT&lt;/version&gt;
                  &lt;type&gt;pom&lt;/type&gt;
                  &lt;scope&gt;import&lt;/scope&gt;
              &lt;/dependency&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>works fine for dependencies, and even for plugins. But now I also want to control the version of the dependency of a plugin used in project pom:</p>
  
  <pre><code>   &lt;build&gt;
       &lt;plugins&gt;
         &lt;plugin&gt;
           &lt;groupId&gt;org.eclipse.jetty&lt;/groupId&gt;
           &lt;artifactId&gt;jetty-maven-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
  
           &lt;dependencies&gt;
             &lt;dependency&gt;
               &lt;groupId&gt;commons-dbcp&lt;/groupId&gt;
               &lt;artifactId&gt;commons-dbcp&lt;/artifactId&gt;
             &lt;/dependency&gt;
         &lt;/plugin&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is it possible to get this working? I want to specify the version of commons-dbcp in my BOM file without having to specify it as a dependency of the jetty plugin in the BOM file too.</p>
