  Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

  Then, install it using the command:

  Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there: 
      mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.codehaus.plexus -DartifactId=plexus-utils -Dversion=1.1 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

The problem is you dont have org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-utils:jar in your local repository and maven is unable to download it.

Here are some pointers to how to resolve this:

1. Check the maven central repository online to see if this JAR is part of the core library.
- If it is, and your local maven cannot download it then it may be something to do with your web connection, and you may need to setup a proxy in your settings.xml
- If it isn't, google it to see if it is in another repository - if it is in another repository, then you will need to configure your project POM with the new repo details
- If it isn't in any maven repository, then you will need to download the JAR manually and explicitly install it in to your repo using the following command:

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.codehaus.plexus -DartifactId=plexus-utils -Dversion=1.1 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

In this instance, having checked http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.codehaus.plexus/plexus-utils/1.1 you can see that it is in the maven repository, which suggests your local setup is having some problem downloading the JAR - so check your proxy settings.
