Description

Transitive dependencies referenced by a plugin are searched only in the plugin-repositories
In my case, the axis plugin references th javax.activation artifact. this artifact is keep at our site in a 3rd-party repo.
If this repo is only addressed in the <Repositories>, the build fails.If it is also refereced in the <pluginRepositories> everything works fine.

Is this the intended practice?
