There's an issue in JIRA for resolving all this. As it stands, to install or
use plugin dependencies, you need write permission to the plugins directory.
At work we use a specific group just for this directory. If this isn't
satisfactory, I'd suggest individual installs. We are going that way anyway,
having each user run maven on their PC rather than the remote server.
