maven plugin (0.15.3) fails when applied to the first version of a given artifact, ignoreNonResolvableArtifacts not honoured

[juanpablo-santos]

Kind of follow-up of #283, when the plugin is applied to the first version of a given artifact, it fails, no matter if the ignoreNonResolvableArtifacts plugin parameter is set to true, with the following stack trace (included relevant provided parameters in case they help to pinpoint the issue):

[alexbudgh]

Regression is present even in 15.1 (was trying some older versions to see if I could work around it).

[paulthvt]

It seems that the regression has been introduced in 0.15.0. Version 0.14.4 is working well.

[davidnewcomb]

We have this problem too. I tried to fix it (before I found this issue) and came up with pretty much the same as @alexbudgh. 0.14.4 works so I've switched us down to that. I hope the report isn't too different!

[siom79]

Fixed: 0.15.4
