tried :  

    IMavenExecutionContext context = MavenPlugin.getMaven().createExecutionContext();
      version = context.execute(new ICallable<String>() {
        public String call(IMavenExecutionContext context, IProgressMonitor monitor) throws CoreException {
          return MavenPlugin.getMaven().resolvePluginVersion(groupId, artifactId, context.getSession());
        }
      }, new NullProgressMonitor());

and got
