Folks, I think I get it. The problem is not in the version of Maven that I am using. It is in the configuration that I am using for invoking maven-dependency-plugin. The unpack goal of maven-dependency-plugin requires the following parameters: artifactItems, local, project, reactorProjects and remoteRepos. Here is the correct version of the configuration used for invoking the plugin:

    
    
      com.sap.ldi.demo.calc
      com.sap.ldi.demo.calc.cmd
      0.1.3-SNAPSHOT
      jar
      true
      target/demo-calc-stuff
      **/*.*
    
  
  ${localRepository}
  ${project}
  ${reactorProjects}
  ${project.remoteArtifactRepositories}
