Error resolving version for plugin 'maven-dependency-plugin:2.8'

Question

I tried to install a prototyp from internet and need to execute mvn maven-dependency-plugin:2.8:copy. It is not working because of error reloving version. I have a right version on local also on repository into my server. my mvn is bundled to nexus on my server.

What is wrong?

Error-message:

mvn -e maven-dependency-plugin:2.8:copy
