This is a known issue. Adding a plugin as a dependency doesn't quite work as you might expect. In fact, in my experience, adding a plugin as a dependency can cause other little problems. I suggest you remove the plugin as a dependency and manually download the plugin via the plugin:download goal. You should probably also manually delete the plugin jar files from your MAVEN_HOME/plugins directory prior to running plugin:download. If you simply stick to using plugin:download whenever you wish to upgrade to a newer plugin version, your older version will automatically be removed.
