          </dependency>
        </dependencies>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

</project>

Any idea why dependency plugin is not downloaded?

Solution is simple. Since it is plugin that I'm trying to fetch I need to use pluginRepositories instead of repositories

  <pluginRepositories>
    <pluginRepository>
      <id>sonatype-nexus-snapshots</id>
      <name>Sonatype Nexus Snapshots</name>
      <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
      <releases>
        <enabled>false</enabled>
      </releases>
      <snapshots>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
      </snapshots>
    </pluginRepository>
  </pluginRepositories>

You can see that maven is looking for the snapshot in the wrong repo http://repository.apache.org/snapshots/
Your artifact is in https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots

Either the pom you are using to run is not the one that defines the sonatype <repository> or it is being overwriten. Check the effective pom in the folder where you run maven and find the definition, you will probably find it is apache.org and not sonatype's

Alternatively, it is usually not recommended to use <repository> in your poms since it makes the artifacts unusable by others that don't have access to the special repo, check this article. I prefer configuring the custom repo (sonatype snapshots) in settings.xml
