Description

Triggered by the Stack Overflow question Can I remove jar from local repository without pom.xml?.

The goal purge-local-repository requires a Maven project to be executed, but it also accepts a manualInclude parameter, which bypasses the purge of project dependencies and only removes the ones specified. Therefore, the plugin should be updated to remove the requirement of a MavenProject.
