Maven plugins and their dependencies are resolved before the build
starts, iirc, and project dependencies are normally resolved right
before execution of individual plugin goals.

But even if plugins were resolved after project dependencies, how would
you express "this plugin depends on the same version of xtext runtime as
the project being built"? Can you provide pom.xml snippet?
