I'm using Maven 2.2.1
dependency plugin 2.0

Not sure how I can update the plugin version (there is a 2.2), as it
appears that Maven tries to process the parent before it processes the
pluginManagement section.

<snapshotRepository>
  <id>apache.snapshots.https</id>
  <name>Apache Development Snapshot Repository</name>
  <url>https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
</snapshotRepository>

I don't think the update policy is relevant, otherwise why would a
plain dependency work?
Anyway, I have just tried -U and that did not help

Here is the parent.xml file in case you want to try for yourself:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd";>
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <parent>
        <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
        <artifactId>commons-parent</artifactId>
        <version>19-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </parent>

  <groupId>org.home.mvnsample</groupId>
  <artifactId>mvnsample</artifactId>
  <packaging>jar</packaging>
  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <name>mvnsample</name>
  <url>http://maven.apache.org</url>
</project>
