Answer 1

It seems like you've missed the message that Maven Central now only supports TLSv1.2, see Why am I getting "Received fatal alert: protocol_version" or "peer not authenticated" from Maven Central? Based on the logging, you're missing an explicit version for 2 plugins. That's a reason for Maven to go to Central to look for the most recent version. The mentioned SO-answer is contains several solutions, but it is also wise to lock the versions for these plugins to prevent lookups at Central.
