If you want it to be open source put the plugin in Github and then we can see the whole project and try it. Trying to deduce what's wrong by looking at partial snippets is really hard. If I can built and run easily, it's a lot easier to help.
Maven will always look locally first. Most likely is a typo between what you specified as the plugin groupId:artifactId:version (GAV) and what you're using as the plugin GAV.
