title: maven not able to download jacoco 0.7.10-SNAPSHOT jar
body: <p>I am puzzled by this. I have this in my pom.xml</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;build&gt;
      &lt;pluginManagement&gt;
          ... other plugins ...
          &lt;plugin&gt;
             &lt;groupId&gt;org.jacoco&lt;/groupId&gt;
             &lt;artifactId&gt;jacoco-maven-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
             &lt;version&gt;0.7.10-SNAPSHOT&lt;/version&gt;
          &lt;/plugin&gt;
      &lt;/pluginManagement&gt;
  &lt;/build&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And this my repository section </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;repositories&gt;
      &lt;repository&gt;
          &lt;id&gt;oss-sonatype&lt;/id&gt;
          &lt;name&gt;oss-sonatype&lt;/name&gt;
          &lt;url&gt;https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/&lt;/url&gt;
          &lt;snapshots&gt;
              &lt;updatePolicy&gt;daily&lt;/updatePolicy&gt;
              &lt;enabled&gt;true&lt;/enabled&gt;
          &lt;/snapshots&gt;
      &lt;/repository&gt;
      ..... other repositories ....        
  &lt;/repositories&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As far as i can find out the jacoco-0.7.10-SNAPSHOT is present at <a href="https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/jacoco/jacoco-maven-plugin/0.7.10-SNAPSHOT/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/jacoco/jacoco-maven-plugin/0.7.10-SNAPSHOT/</a></p>
  
  <p>My understanding is that it should be downloaded and build should succeed but i get the following error </p>
  
  <p><strong><em>[ERROR] Plugin org.jacoco:jacoco-maven-plugin:0.7.10-SNAPSHOT or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Could not find artifact org.jacoco:jacoco-maven-plugin:jar:0.7.10-SNAPSHOT -> [Help 1]</em></strong></p>
  
  <p>I saw solution where people suggested to add the repository in ~/.m2/settings.xml file. 
  I want to know can i do this without changing the .m2/settings.xml and why is the current setup not working. Any tips are greatly appreciated. </p>
  
  <p>P.S. Please pardon me if this is already answered somewhere. I haven't been able to find a solution yet. </p>
