Hi Max,
Page 58, in Better builds with Maven explains how to achieve this.
Essentially you have to do the following.
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.plexus</groupId>
<artifactId>plexus-container-default</artifactId>
<version>1.0-alpha-9</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.codehaus.plexus</groupId>
<artifactId>plexus-utils</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.plexus</groupId>
<artifactId>plexus-utils</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Thanks
Lakshman
