Description

The change being introduced in SUREFIRE-2177 prevents updating the junit-jupiter-engine through explicit plugin dependencies as outlined in https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/junit-platform.html#select-engine-and-use-multiple-apis:

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
      <version>5.10.2</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</plugin>

The following classpath is then used in m-surefire-p

[INFO] --- surefire:3.2.2:test (default-test) @ doxia-converter ---

[DEBUG]       org.junit.platform:junit-platform-engine:jar:1.9.3:runtime (version managed from default)
...

The managed junit-platform-engine version is incompatible (as being downgraded via https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/blob/2fed802397f8c7de4cfc72f49ab4565e72f7aab7/pom.xml#L311-L318)
For this reason there shouldn't be any depMgmt used in surefire.
