Believe it or not, I trolled some forums and found a solution that works for
me. I have to create a dummy site.xml in the src/main/site directory that
defines the skin version. Amazing.
In my case, it is triggered by moving the site plugin to an internal
repository. When I use the external repository (central), it somehow
resolves this on its own. Move it inside the company to our private repo,
and bam, I have to create these annoying site.xml files to "force" the
version of the skin.
Let me know if you are able to refine my findings further. Hopefully, a
quick site.xml creation will solve the issue for you as a workaround.
