State: open

Scenario:
1) write a plugin X depending on Y
2) submit X online without specifying dependency on Y
3) people download X and have an error because Y isn't installed
4) go online and add Y as a dependency
5) => no update is sent to the user, unless a new jar file (the same) is uploaded

solution: when dependencies are added, increment the final build number (you can also automatically generate the changelog), just to force the update

Same remark goes for switching a plugin to non-beta without resubmitting the jar, as filed in #95
