Description

The editor shows warnings for the LATEST and RELEASE metaversions for regular dependencies, although those metaversions have only been deprecated/removed for plugin versions. The text of the warning is "'[dependencyManagement.]dependencies.dependency.version' for <groupId>:<artifactId>:jar is either LATEST or RELEASE (both of them are being deprecated)". This is incorrect.

Expected behavior: Don't ever show that warning for <dependency> elements (as opposed to <plugin> elements).

(There is a hint "No metaversions for plugins". Disabling it doesn't change the behavior for non-plugin versions, which makes sense; but it also indicates that there shouldn't be a warning for non-plugin versions.)
