Maven can't find the plexus artifact in one of it's known repositories. Are there any repositories in the pom.xml? Have you set up your distribution correctly? Which repositories do you have in your settings.xml? You might want to try and add maven central to your settings.xml (http://repo2.maven.org/maven2)
