Maven dependency plugin weird issue with UnpackDependenciesMojo

Question

I am using Maven 3.0.3 and suddenly my mvn dependencies plugin started producing an error. I've tried to clean the .m2 folder with no luck... Any ideas?

WARNING: Error injecting: org.apache.maven.plugin.dependency.UnpackDependenciesMojo java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/maven/shared/artifact/filter/collection/ArtifactFilterException at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredConstructors0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.privateGetDeclaredConstructors(Class.java:2446) at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredConstructors(Class.java:1872)

and then

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.maven.shared.artifact.filter.collection.ArtifactFilterException at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.strategy.SelfFirstStrategy.loadClass(SelfFirstStrategy.java:50) at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.realm.ClassRealm.loadClass(ClassRealm.java:244) at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.realm.ClassRealm.loadClass(ClassRealm.java:230)

Which version of maven-dependency-plugin do you use? Have warnings during the build? Download problems? Check your build. — khmarbaise, Apr 23 '14 at 10:11
I am using 2.5.1. I've tried to update to 2.8 but the problem remains. I am having this problem when I try to build. No download problems — Kstaoo, Apr 23 '14 at 11:27

Found the problem. Recently I've updated my Xcode and this installed maven 3.2.1 which messed up the classpath... I've modified the symbolic links to point to my 3.0.3 version and it works fine again... Cannot understand why Apple installs stuff without even mentioning it in the update notes...
