Test Maven plugin with maven-plugin-testing-harness

I want to develop a Maven plugin and also test it properly. I was reading the documentation on maven-plugin-testing-harness and trying things out for a few hours already. I'm constantly running into NoClassDefFoundError and NoSuchMethodError, I just can't figure out which dependencies I need.

Here's my MCVE:

https://github.com/highsource/hello-maven-plugin

Right now I'm getting:

Here's the pom.xml of my plugin:

MyMojo.java is trivial:

/**
 * Goal which touches a timestamp file.
 *
 * @goal touch
 * 
 * @phase process-sources
 */
public class MyMojo extends AbstractMojo {
    /**
     * Location of the file.
     * 
     * @parameter expression="${project.build.directory}"
     * @required
     */
    private File outputDirectory;

    public void execute() throws MojoExecutionException {
        // Simply creates a touch.txt file in outputDirectory
    }
}

The test:

public class MyMojoTest extends AbstractMojoTestCase {

    @Test
    public void testSomething()
        throws Exception
    {
        File pom = getTestFile( "src/test/resources/org/hisrc/storyteller/pom.xml" );
        assertNotNull( pom );
        assertTrue( pom.exists() );

        MyMojo myMojo = (MyMojo) lookupMojo( "touch", pom );
        assertNotNull( myMojo );
        myMojo.execute();
    }
}

If I change the version of the maven-plugin-api to 3.0, I'm getting:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.codehaus.plexus.ContainerConfiguration.setClassPathScanning(Ljava/lang/String;)Lorg/codehaus/plexus/ContainerConfiguration;

I've looked around and all I see is that people seem to add some random dependencies, sometimes things work sometimes not. I've spent a few hours trying to do the same but did not manage to make it work. I'm quite desperate at the moment and hope that someone eventually figured it out and could point me to the correct dependencies and/or versions.

@FlorianAlbrecht was right, I had to specify the same version (3.3.9) for Maven dependencies. This is what I ended up with:

<properties>
    <maven.version>3.3.9</maven.version>
</properties>
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugin-tools</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-plugin-annotations</artifactId>
        <version>3.5</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-plugin-api</artifactId>
        <version>${maven.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-core</artifactId>
        <version>${maven.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>

        <groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-compat</artifactId>
        <version>${maven.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>junit</groupId>
        <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
        <version>4.11</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>

    </dependency>
