I have a project consisting of multiple subprojects.  One of these subprojects 
includes a plugin which is built and installed via "plugin:install" during my project 
build.  A goal is then used from this previously installed plugin to build the rest of 
the project's subprojects (in other words other subprojects have a dependency on this 
plugin which is installed during the build process).  

Using maven-rc1 this used to be no problem, but as of yesterday (I checked out and 
built the MAVEN-1_0_Branch) using rc3 this fails.  If the plugin doesn't already exist 
in the ${maven.home}/plugins directory things work fine (if I delete the plugin out 
before the build starts), the plugin is installed and other subprojects needing to use 
goal(s) from this plugin find it and the build completes successfully.  But if the 
plugin already exists in ${maven.home}/plugins, I'll get something like below telling 
me it can't parse the project.xml on the first subproject that tries to invoke a goal 
from this plugin, (when it fact that file does exist), or I sometimes get a message 
telling me the plugin.jelly from that plugin can't be found: 

BUILD FAILED

Settings/Administrator/.maven/plugins/maven-multiproject-plugin-1.2/plugin.jelly

Settings\Administrator\.maven\plugins\maven-andromda-plugi
n-3.0-SNAPSHOT\project.xml'
Total time: 23 seconds

My configuration is as follows:

Windows XP
JDK 1.4.2_03
MAVEN-1_0-BRANCH (rc3) as of 04/02/2004

Is this a known issue?

Thanks!

Chad
