Hi Alex,

For future reference, please do not send mail directly to the individual 
  developers. The problem with asking it in private, is that you are not 
doing the community a favor with your question. Every question and 
answer is interesting for the community and posting your questions on 
the appropriate list (in this case maven-users) also prevents people 
from asking the same question again. It also is possible that the person 
you have chosen to mail doesn't have the time to answer your question 
(or doesn't know the answer) and with sending the question to the list 
other people can answer your question.

The plugin was moved from the sandbox last weekend. The site had not 
been updated to reflect this. I have redeployed the site now with the 
correct URL to the sources. It should be available within a couple of 
hours, when the site is synced.

There has not been a release of this Maven 2 plugin yet. It is only 
available as a SNAPSHOT. You can read about how to use SNAPSHOTS here:
