It should work on a min version of  3.1.0 and not exact same version as explained in maven pom specification below:
http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Prerequisites
"The POM may have certain prerequisites in order to execute correctly. For example, perhaps there was a fix in Maven 2.0.3 that you need in order to deploy using sftp. Here is where you give the prerequisites to building. If these are not met, Maven will fail the build before even starting. The only element that exists as a prerequisite in POM 4.0 is the maven element, which takes a minimum version number."

look at the project   
https://code.google.com/p/appengine-maven-plugin/

and its usage  

https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/gettingstarted/ui_and_code

and the command line which cause the issue

"mvn appengine:devserver"


error message :
