Can't overwrite dependency defined in the rewrite-maven-plugin

[qwtfps]

What version of OpenRewrite are you using?

I am using

• OpenRewrite v6.28.0
• Maven/Gradle plugin v3.9.6

How are you running OpenRewrite?

I am using the Maven plugin, and my project is a single module project.

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.openrewrite.maven</groupId>
  <artifactId>rewrite-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.2.3</version>
  <configuration>
     <dependency>
            <groupId>org.openrewrite.recipe</groupId>
            <artifactId>rewrite-spring</artifactId>
            <version>5.23.0</version>
          </dependency>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

What is the smallest, simplest way to reproduce the problem?

What did you expect to see?

when using command to exec plugin like

 mvn  org.openrewrite.maven:rewrite-maven-plugin:6.28.0:run  -Drewrite.recipeArtifactCoordinates=xxx   -Drewrite.activeRecipes=xxxx

I need using rewrite-spring 6+ which in higher than in the pom .
I tried to add option -Ddependencies=org.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-spring:6.23.0 for overwrite but it is not help (We can't change pom directly in our case)

What did you see instead?

Due to the version incompatible , I got

class org.openrewrite.java.spring.data.RefactorSimpleMongoDbFactory cannot be cast to class org.openrewrite.Recipe (org.openrewrite.java.spring.data.RefactorSimpleMongoDbFactory and org.openrewrite.Recipe

hi! That's an odd scenario, and not one we can support I think. You'd end up with mixed old and new major versions, which is unlikely to work, as we only support versions that were released together. Are there any alternatives such as temporarily swapping out the pom.xml?
