Stricter validation of the POM than in Maven 2.x is by design. Plugin dependencies of scopes other than the ones listed in the error message make no sense. When Maven executes a plugin, we talk about a runtime classpath and test-scope dependencies in general don't contribute to this.

Simply remove the {{<scope>}} from the plugin dependency in your POM.
