[MNG-6135] Maven plugins and core extensions are not dependencies, they should be resolved the same way as projects.

• Type: Bug
• Status: Reopened
• Priority: Critical
• Resolution: Unresolved

Description

Due to a bug in the Maven resolver, plugin and core extensions were resolved incorrectly: the direct test and provided dependencies were ignored.

Ironically, this fix breaks some plugins because direct test dependencies now take precedence over transitive compile one: see MNG-5739
(we know only one case where provided case has an impact: MPLUGIN-296, and in this only case, the new behaviour is more consistent than the previous)
