[MNG-2496] dependencyManagement not used for dependencies in plugin section.

**[Brian E Fox](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=brianf)** opened **[MNG-2496](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-2496?redirect=false)** and commented

In my parent, I have a dependencyManagement set with this jar:
\
\
\
\com.stchome.build.maven\
\testng-initializer\
\1.0\
\test\
\

I have a plugin specified that had a dependency like this:
\
\maven-antrun-plugin\
\
\
\run-testng\
\test\
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
\
\run\
\
\
\
\
\
\com.stchome.build.maven\
\testng-initializer\
\
\
\

When I build, it doesn't seem to resolve this dependency version from dependencyManagement
