This is the flaw in Maven I am constantly ranting
about: dependency of build on server content.

That is because of ranges in versions and snapshot
dependencies for system stuff (plugins). Maven’s
dependencies resolver should be really thrown away and
replaced by something decent like IVY. It is not
perfect, but way better than dependencies resolver in
Maven.  

So the thing you have IMO is how the dependencies have
to be specified: as hardcoded versions.

There however should be a command to update those
versions (semi)-automatically. Pretty much the same
way everything else works: use the specified versions
till user explicitly and selectively demands
‘update’.
