Maven Build - Couldn't resolve dependencies - eclipse

Question

OS: OSX Yosemite
Eclipse: Kepler
Problems:
1. [ from Eclipse Run ] : maven-compiler-plugin is missing
2. [ from Command Line ] : Failure to find com.microsoft.sqlserver:sqljdbc4:jar:2.0
I have a maven project which pom.xml ( partly ) defined as mentioned below, after seeing the problem i manually executed Dfile=sqljdbc4.jar -DgroupId=com.microsoft.sqlserver -DartifactId=sqljdbc4 -Dversion=4.0 -Dpackaging=jar in the project directory where the pom.xml is defined and the result came as BUILD SUCCESS. However when i run maven build i get error [2]. and when i try to run in eclipse i get error 1.
MVN:
mvn -version

sqlserver jar file needs to be added in the maven directory as mentioned below,
Path : /Users/xxxxx/.m2/repository/com/microsoft/sqlserver/sqljdbc4/2.0
