Description

**[Konrad Windszus](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=kwin)** opened **[ARCHETYPE-611](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-611?redirect=false)** and commented

As certain features are only supported since a specific archetype-plugin version (e.g. ARCHETYPE-494) it would be nice if the Archetype Descriptor would allow to express a minimum required version of m-archetype-plugin.

**Affects:** 3.2.0

Research direction

Start by locating the Archetype Descriptor definition and the code that reads or validates its plugin-related metadata. Review the existing feature referenced by ARCHETYPE-494 and determine how a minimum m-archetype-plugin version should be represented and checked. Done means descriptors can declare that minimum and incompatible plugin versions are handled correctly.
