Research direction

Start with the plugin classpath definition and its version field, using pull request 90 for the relevant context. Trace where the plugin version is currently declared and identify the duplicated value; done means the classpath definition uses the single existing version field without duplication.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

See https://github.com/canonical/devpack-for-spring/pull/90 - the version for the plugin should be defined in a single place, it should not be duplicated in the version field.
