As a quick and dirty fix I add the following goal to the maven.xml of
our projects and tell people to run it if they get plugin problems
<goal name="antelope:upgradePlugins">
<j:forEach var="dep" items="${pom.dependencies}">
<j:if test="${dep.type =='plugin'}">
<maven:get plugin="${dep.artifactId}"
property="plugin"
var="plugin" />
<ant:echo>
######################################################################
Fetching ${dep.artifactId} Plugin You may have to run your goal again
######################################################################
</ant:echo>
<j:set var="groupId"
value="${dep.groupId}"/>
<j:set var="artifactId"
value="${dep.artifactId}"/>
<j:set var="version"
value="${dep.version}"/>
<attainGoal name="plugin:download"/>
</j:if>
</j:forEach>
</goal>
