    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-invoker-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.8.1</version>
        .....
        <dependencies>
          <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.groovy</groupId>
            <artifactId>groovy-yaml</artifactId>
            <version>4.0.23</version>
          </dependency>
        </dependencies>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>
