Try "mvn -X ....." to show debug output. I expect that you're running behind some kind of firewall that is preventing maven from downloading the plugins it needs. The maven download is just the core of maven; many of the plugins it needs to do its job are downloaded on demand. If a firewall is the issue, see the documentation on the maven site re defining proxy settings in a settings.xml file.
