[M2] The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found

[Andreas Guther]

Hi,

I am currently trying to take our development environment offline from
the Maven2 central repository at Ibiblio.

I have configured a profile that redefines the central repository and
points to a copy of all I found in my local repository.  My assumption
was that this should be enough for my current projects.

I then renamed my local repository to emulate a new developer's
environment.  When I tried to compile my project I get the following
error message from Maven: 

The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin' does not
exist or no valid version could be found.

When I switch back the configuration to use the Ibiblio repository
(configured as central or not seems not to make a difference) the
problem is gone.

Is this a problem with my configuration or is something else wrong here?
Is the copy approach of local to internal/central repository wrong?
