Maven tomcat plugin dependency error

Question

I've a fully working project that use version 1.1 of tomcat maven plugin. I tried to switch to the last maven tomcat plugin version, specifying in the pom.xml:

<plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
            <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <contextFile>src/main/webapp/META-INF/context.xml</contextFile>
            </configuration>
            <dependencies>      
                <dependency>
                    <groupId>mysql</groupId>
                    <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
                    <version>5.1.9</version>
                </dependency>
            </dependencies>
        </plugin>   

However launching the project with tomcat7:run instead of tomcat:run i get the following error:

[INFO]

It looks maven central had some issues yesterday. So try again with -U
