It's not clear how plugin does download of dependencies without maven installed

Hi

I've not found any information how this plugin makes the download without maven installed and without maven wrapper in root folder.

My VS CODE has only the Maven For Java plugin installed and when I import a simple Maven project, it starts the download of dependencies into .m2 directory. However, if I try execute any lifecycle task through the plugin, then I got an error advising me it didn't find maven.

So, if it does not exist maven, how can it make download of dependencies?

Thanks.
