We need this form so that the model builder can make the first pass at merging. Full merging cannot be done because we don't know what the version of the plugin is yet that the user has requested. For plugins in the default lifecycle they are typically defined in the plugin management section of the parent POM. When the merging is complete we are going to have something that looks like the following:

<plugins>
  <plugin>

#### Merging pull requests ####

Due to Guava's nature as a subset of Google's internal codebase which is
automatically synced to the public GitHub repository, we are unable to merge
pull requests directly into the master branch. Instead, once a pull request is
ready for merging, we'll make the appropriate changes in the internal codebase

  compileOptions {
    targetCompatibility(JavaVersion.VERSION_11)
    sourceCompatibility(JavaVersion.VERSION_11)
  }

  kotlinOptions {
    jvmTarget = JavaVersion.VERSION_11.toString()
  }

  // issue merging due to conflict with httpclient and something else
  packagingOptions.resources.excludes += setOf(
    "META-INF/DEPENDENCIES"
  )
}

        // snapshot timestamp, or some other timestamp later encoded into the metadata.
        // TODO this needs to be repeated here so the merging doesn't interfere with the written metadata
        //  - we'd be much better having a pristine input, and an ongoing metadata for merging instead

        Map<ArtifactRepository, Metadata> previousMetadata = new HashMap<>();
        ArtifactRepository selected = null;

                for (Plugin element : src) {
                    if (element.isInherited() || !element.getExecutions().isEmpty()) {
                        // NOTE: Enforce recursive merge to trigger merging/inheritance logic for executions
                        Plugin plugin = Plugin.newInstance(false);
                        plugin = mergePlugin(plugin, element, sourceDominant, context);

     * repository. It is worth to point out that merging does not simply choose one of the input repositories and
     * discards the others but actually combines their possibly different policies.
