Bug: prerequisites are not detected

[cstamas]

When doing versions:display-plugin-updates on this module https://github.com/maveniverse/mima/tree/75a06a1132103506614b33a2cba2229923e86260/demo/library-maven-plugin

I get this message:

But https://github.com/maveniverse/mima/blob/75a06a1132103506614b33a2cba2229923e86260/demo/library-maven-plugin/pom.xml#L46-L48

While true, I have no enforcer to enforce build time Maven version.

Still, why does plugin claim I have no prerequisites, while I do?

[slawekjaranowski]

prerequisites is only used to define minimum Maven version required by plugin in run-time.
IMHO it does not have impact of required Maven version in build time - even it is Maven plugin project.

So message should be the same with info about missing enforcer configuration
regardless of the type of project packaging.

Is that correct that prerequisites can now also be used for non-plugin projects to specify the required maven version? Thus the distinction between plugin- and non-plugin projects in DisplayPluginUpdates should not be there anymore for establishing the version requirement for a POM?
