That sounds like a problem the Maven user list should be able to resolve.

E.g. your code seems to ignore the snapshot distribution repository. 
Nothing that can't be fixed if it really affects your case, but it's 
something more you need to keep in mind.

Generally, employing the same code path as standard Maven plugins gives 
you greater confidence that things work the Maven-way and continue to 
work in new Maven versions.
