Description

Parent POM snippet

<plugins>
  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.its.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-it-plugin-configuration</artifactId>
    <!-- Note missing version element -->
    <configuration>
      <stringParam>PASSED</stringParam>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>
</plugins>

Child POM snippet:

<plugins>
  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.its.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-it-plugin-configuration</artifactId>
    <version>2.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
  </plugin>
</plugins>

Effective child POM:

<plugins>
  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.its.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-it-plugin-configuration</artifactId>
    <version>2.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
  </plugin>
</plugins>

i.e. the configuration from the parent POM is completely lost.
