Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, it's not clear to me what you are trying to do. Neither spring-boot-loader-tools nor spring-boot-buildpack-platform is a Maven plugin so it's expected that they do not have plugin descriptors.

Perhaps you're trying to use the get goal of the dependency plugin. If so, the command should be the following:

mvn -U org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:3.1.2:get -Dartifact=org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-buildpack-platform:2.3.0.RELEASE
