In order to cache plugins into the .m2/repository folder you would need to specify all plugins explicitly with the mvn :help

You would also need to specify explicit version for each plugin in the or section of your pom.xml

 
  org.apache.maven.plugins
  maven-surefire-plugin
  2.19
  
    
      org.apache.maven.surefire
      surefire-testng
      2.19
    
  

This is needed to make sure that mvn install -o uses the same plugin version.

Ofcourse you would also need to run mvn dependency:go-offline to take care of your compile and test dependencies.

mvn assembly:help compiler:help enforcer:help exec:help failsafe:help install:help jar:help resources:help surefire:help mvn dependency:go-offline mvn compile --offline
