Description

<plugins>
  <plugin groupId="org.apache.maven.plugins" artifactId="maven-compiler-plugin" version="3.1"/>
  ...
</plugins>

Or configuration for a plugin:

<plugins>
  <plugin groupId="org.apache.maven.plugins" artifactId="maven-compiler-plugin" version="3.1">
    <configuration>
     ....
   </configuration>
 </plugin>
  ...
</plugins>

Based on the above a pluginManagement block (if it will continue to exist) would be come very short:

<build>
  <pluginManagement>
    <plugins>
      <plugin id="maven-compiler-plugin:3.1"/>
      <plugin id="maven-resources-plugin:2.6"/>
      <plugin id="maven-ear-plugin:2.4"/>
      ...
    <plugins>
  </pluginManagement>
