It seems that, when the packaging of the project is different from jar and pom, this plugin does not work properly.
I tried to use it with a maven plugin project , and for what I'm able to infer from the logs, it uses the project packaging as the file extension:
[INFO]
[INFO] --- exists-maven-plugin:0.9.0:remote (default) @ distribution-maven-plugin ---
[INFO] Checking for artifact at https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/es/iti/commons/distribution-maven-plugin/1.0.2/distribution-maven-plugin-1.0.2.maven-plugin
[INFO] es.iti.commons:distribution-maven-plugin:maven-plugin:1.0.2 does not exist
Since the maven plugins are basically jar files, such *.maven-plugin file is abstent from the repository:
