I posted this a question to the maven-users list and see the response below from Jason Van zyle:
- How do I tell maven to stop downloading the beta versions of plugins and just download the latest stable releases of plugins?
Specify versions of the plugins you want to use in your projects. Do not leave it to chance. Not specify versions of all things is bad practice.
- Can I ask maven to clean the repo of all beta versions of plugins or do i have to manually remove them?

What you've said is correct, and you should be specifying the version as 2.1. - Brett
