Maven 2 & 3

[regression] Plugins that don't declare dependency on plexus-utils no longer get plexus-utils:1.1

Description

To compensate for MNG-2892, Maven 2.0.6+ automatically injects plexus-utils:1.1 into the plugin class realm if the plugin POM does not declare a (direct) dependency on plexus-utils:1.1+. This backward-compat mode is currently not existent in Maven 3.x.

Even if this break is intentional for 3.x, this issue allows to track it.

It's time to cleanup the codebase so this hack won't be supported any more. For plugins that can't be fixed/upgraded, users can still manually add plexus-utils as a plugin dependency.

For the sake of backward-compat, restored hack in r828222.
