I think there's an extremely good chance you do not have your plugin versions locked down in your pom files with <version>[1.2.3]</version>. Previously, you were using a plugin say version 1.0 that worked fine. Then your coworker came along a few months later, pulled down a later version of the plugin that "has issues" and poof, problems. You rebuild with old repo and it uses the old plugin, no problems. You delete and retry, pull down new plugin, and problems. Obviously I'm not positive about this but I'd make a pretty good bet about it... And in case it wasn't clear, this is not Maven's fault. Plugins should be locked down in your project poms. Use the enforcer plugin to be sure.
