Creating the mirror repo as suggested will actually result in Central being no longer available to your Maven execution -- the only plugins and artifacts which you will be able to access are those already available in your corporate repo.
So this would certainly restrict your Maven installs from looking for and using newer snapshots. However, you really shouldn't ever "stabilize" on a snapshot version of a plugin -- instead I suggest you release it internally with a fixed version number, usually by appending the Subversion build number to the artifact build number ie 2.1.2-SNAPSHOT becomes 2.1.2-56723.

Will declaring a repository to be a mirror repository prevent the searching for updated plugins? We are using snapshot versions of plugins and would like to stabilize on those snapshots. I haven't been able to prevent maven from looking for updates to snapshots, even with the -npu argument. So far, the only way I've been able to prevent it is to start with a fully-populated local repository and run with -o (for offline).

Search for "maven mirror central". This is discussed frequently on this mail list and online. You basically want to override Central with your local department/corporate repo. This is done by establishing your local corporate repo as a <mirrOf> Central in your settings.xml file. Note that this will effectively "kill" your connection to Central, so if/when you try to use a new artifact which is not installed on your Corporate repo, it will simply fail out. For this reason, many people use Maven proxy servers like Promixity which can be configured to go out and download unknown artifacts on demand.
