Maven Chronos JMeter plugin - testing

Question

Has any one used Chronos for JMeter + Maven plug-in. I am having tough time trying Maven JMeter plug-in and thought of giving it a try
I have following pom set up for chronos but when I execute "mvn verify " I encounter following exception -
#
Maven cannot calculate your build plan, given the following information:
Tasks:
- verify
Current project:
Group-Id: chronos1
Artifact-Id: chronos1
Version: 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
From file: C:\SelNG\chronos\pom.xml
Error message: Failed to resolve plugin for mojo binding: org.codehaus.mojo:chronos-maven-plugin:1.0-SNAPSHOT:jmeter
Root error message: Unable to download the artifact from any repository
#
Is it because plug-in is not available in repo?
My pom is -

I don't have any particular experience with this plugin but for SNAPSHOT versions of codehaus plugins, you probably need to declare the codehaus snapshot repository:
<project>
...
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>snapshots.repository.codehaus.org</id>
<url>http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org/</url>
</pluginRepository>
...
</pluginRepositories>
...
</project>
