That is a bigger change than I expected... I've configured a <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf> pointing to my repo to test it out, and now the extension is being downloaded, but obviously everything else fails. I cannot modify nexus configuration myself, so it seems I will have to download the jar manually for now :(
Can I ask why is this needed? Why are plugin repositories being ignored? Is it bad to have multiple repositories configured or is this a bug? Thank you Karl.
