Hi,
I'm trying to use the maven-vaadin-plugin (however my question probably applies
to all plugins) and i get:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-vaadin-plugin' does not
exist or no valid version could be found
Why is maven looking for the vaadin plugin in org.apache.maven.plugins while
my pom clearly says:
<plugin>
<groupId>com.vaadin</groupId>
<artifactId>vaadin-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<configuration>
<!-- if you don't specify any modules, the plugin will
find them -->
<!--
<modules>
<module>${package}.gwt.MyWidgetSet</module>
</modules>
-->
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>update-widgetset</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
If i add the plugin as a dependency, it is found and downloaded in the
\.m2\repository\com\vaadin\vaadin-maven-plugin\1.0.0 directory.
But when i look in the maven plugin directory in my local repository, there it
is: maven-vaadin-plugin and its maven-metadata-central.xml files says:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<metadata>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-vaadin-plugin</artifactId>
</metadata>
This file is renewed every time i run maven (i tried removing it). So where
does this information come from and why is the vaadin plugin grouped with
org.apache.maven.plugins when my pom says com.vaadin?
Any insights much appreciated.
