Description

**[Tamas Cservenak](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=cstamas)** opened **[MNG-7993](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7993?redirect=false)** and commented

See for example MCOMPILER-391.
Today all the burden is on plugin to reimplement all the logic whether to apply or not the depMgt. Instead, there should be a service that does "resolve in the context of project" (obeying all the depMgt), so a plugin that has GAV artifact dependency can just pass it to API and API resolves with while obeying existing depMgt entries present in project.

Research direction

Start by reading the MCOMPILER-391 example and the linked MNG-7993 discussion. Identify the existing dependency-resolution API and how project dependency-management entries are applied. Done means a service exists that accepts a GAV artifact dependency and resolves it in the project context while obeying those entries.
