Greetings, I am attempting to use maven on a project and it appears to be having problems retrieving a plugin before it even tries to handle the project's pom.xml.
From the console output below, the problem seems to be with a version of
maven-dependency-plugin that is not available. The strange thing is that the version for the plugin is a SNAPSHOT release. [INFO] Scanning for projects...
