'Maven dependencies plugin not copying transitive dependencies?

I'm aware that the maven dependencies plugin is supposed to copy transitive dependencies by default. However, when I try this in this in this example, only the explicitly specified jar is copied:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <artifactId>consoleApp</artifactId>
    <groupId>me.wundrian</groupId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <packaging>jar</packaging>

    <name>consoleApp</name>

                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <artifactItems>
                                <artifactItem>
                                    <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
                                    <artifactId>DynamoDBLocal</artifactId>
                                    <version>1.16.0</version>
                                    <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/lib</outputDirectory>
                                </artifactItem>
                            </artifactItems>
                            <includeScope>runtime</includeScope>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
            <artifactId>DynamoDBLocal</artifactId>
            <version>1.16.0</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

</project>

A mvn compile && ls target/lib produces this output:

DynamoDBLocal-1.16.0.jar

I'm specifically looking for the libsqlite4java* dependencies the DynamoDBLocal pom specifies as runtime dependencies.
