Different and unexpected behavour on invoking goals

[cstamas]

Affected version

3.9.11 (probably all)

Bug description

Spotted this when using wrapper:wrapper, as Maven downloads ALL plugins (!), only to then execute wrapper plugin.
Cases:

• mvn wrapper:wrapper -- this will download all plugins it finds in POM only to execute wrapper
• mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-wrapper-plugin:wrapper -- this works as expected

In first case, the problem is DefaultLifecycleTaskSegmentCalculator calling LifecyclePluginResolver that in turn calls DefaultPluginVersionResolver and is getting plugin descriptors to detect compatibility for ALL plugins, only to then execute wrapper plugin.

This was already reported as #10128

I always assumed that prefix:goal is "identical" to G:A:goal with one extra step, where prefix is used to find G:A but seems not (plugin groups MD -> leads to A and you end up with GA).

The same is for syntax like: wrapper:3.3.2:wrapper all plugins are resolved

[slawekjaranowski]

I think that org.apache.maven.plugin.prefix.internal.DefaultPluginPrefixResolver is responsible for it ....
