Description
This is a recommendation / request for enhancement for https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/blob/main/plugin-maven/README.md.
## feature description
Please publish the Maven coordinates for every plugin.
E.g. palantir:
```xml
com.palantir.javaformat
palantir-java-format
2.38.0
```
## use case
### Users can easily find new versions
Users can use the coordinates and go to https://search.maven.org/ to see whether there are more recent versions, or older versions if needed.
### can be picked up by dependency bots
If you put the above into your dependency management, preferably using a property for the version, tools like renovate or dependabot can update the dependency.
With the current examples, those versions will never be picked up.
### can be scanned by security scanners
If you put the above into your dependency management, security scanners will recognise the artefact, too.
## versions without Maven artefacts
For tools like greclipse, publish another URL which can be used.
(optional) For greclipse specifically, show the Maven coordinates for the older versions (as mentioned in https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/issues/1922).
