Maven keeps downloading metadata, plugin versions not defined

[auke-]

Expected Behavior

When rebuilding a Micronaut based project we expect all dependencies to be downloaded once and no further downloads are necessary.

Actual Behaviour

Due to the fact that some Maven plugin versions aren't defined in the Micronaut BOM the metadata for those plugins are downloaded, even when the latest plugins are already available locally.

Steps To Reproduce

1. create a new Micronaut project using Maven as the build tool https://micronaut.io/launch
2. run ./mvnw package
3. wait the configured updatePolicy (defaults to one day)
4. run ./mvnw package again
5. notice the downloads of various maven-metadata.xml files
