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>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

The build process state also includes state that is tied to a particular Gradle user home directory.
When that directory changes between Gradle invocations, the state is discarded and recreated.
Typically, the Gradle user home directory does not change for a given process, so this is effectively process state.

The build process state is managed by the `BuildProcessState` class. An instance is created once for a given process.
