Description

Only release repositories are queried for version-unscoped plugins.

Deploy a plugin (say x-maven-plugin, version 1-SNAPSHOT) to a snapshot repository via mvn -P performRelease deploy.

clear local repository so client has no copy of the snapshot.

Build a project that tries to use the x-maven-plugin but does not specify the plugin's version.

Results in client searching release respository only, does not query the snapshot repository or attempt to merge the metadata in any way.

Is this as designed?
