   I don't think there are unnecessary connections as they are required to check if the plugin is using the latest version _if the Jira ticket is still something Maven wants to provide_. I don't think you can resolve this issue within Maven without outbound connections?
   
   An alternative could be to check only the local repository, but I don't think this is a good idea as the user may or may not have higher versions of the plugin installed.
   
   Or it could just log a suggestion like: "Please consider checking you are using the latest version of the 'xxx' plugin", however that kind of defeats the purpose of automatically checking for newer version.

> In case a plugin fails, Maven should look if there is a more recent version.
> It is considered the best practice to verify the most recent version first before issueing a but, as it might already be solved.
> The be clear: if the most recent plugin is used, this message should not be shown.
> Make use of the metadata to get the most recent version.
