I see. I think I'll go for a "compromise":

       <dependencies pathId="findbugs.classpath"
                     useScope="runtime">
           <dependency groupId="net.sourceforge.findbugs"
                      artifactId="findbugs"
                      version="1.0.0"/>
           <dependency groupId="net.sourceforge.findbugs"
                      artifactId="coreplugin"
                      version="1.0.0"/>
       </dependencies>
