Update plugin dependencies

[msaladin]

Hi Daniel,

we are using your release plugin, and it works like a charm. Something which I think is missing is the handling of plugin dependencies. Example:

• Module xxx-openapi-spec
• Module xxx-service

The service module xxx-sevices has a dependency to the xxx-openapi-spec module, and it has the same dependency in the openapi-generator plugin, so that the plugin has the xxx-openapi-spec in the classpath (and can generate source from the openapi-spec). The generator plugin configuration looks like this:

<plugin> <groupId>org.openapitools</groupId> <artifactId>openapi-generator-maven-plugin</artifactId> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>xxx-group-id</groupId> <artifactId>xxx-openapi-spec</artifactId> <version>0.6-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency>

As you can see, there is a SNAPSHOT version in the plugin-dependency, and plugin-dependencies are not automatically updated with your plugin when releasing. So we end up with a SNAPSHOT version in the release, which fails the release build.

I checked the source code it would be quite simple to do a PR which would include handling plugin dependencies.

What do you think about this feature? I am happy to make a PR.

Thanks a lot & Cheers
Michael
