XMvn is a maven extension that helps with creating RPM packages. In order to comply with packaging requirements, it needs to relax some checks that maven does. One of those is plugin validation done in MavenPluginValidator class. Currently, it overrides that by shadowing the class on the classpath, which is a hack. It would help if MavenPluginValidator was a -plexus- JSR330 component and thus the implementation could be selected by configuration.
