 Due to a bug in Maven, if you are remotely resolving a plugin that doesn't exist in central, you will need to install
 from a directory containing a pom.xml file. So if you have a pom.xml handy, goto that directory from the command line.
 If not, you will need to download the {{{pom.xml}pom.xml}} and goto to the download directory from the command line.
 Now type the following from the command line:

+----+
 mvn org.apache.maven.dotnet.plugins:maven-vsinstaller-plugin:install
+----+

 This will download the plugin and all of its dependencies.
