I'm having the same problem, even after having read the maven plugin prefix mapping link. MThe relevant portion of my POM is:
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.axis2</groupId> <artifactId>axis2-aar-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.5.1</version> <configuration> <goalPrefix>aar</goalPrefix> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> Here's the result: [/Users/dave/projects/gpsdata/webservice] mvn aar:exploded [INFO] Scanning for projects... Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/axis2/axis2-aar-maven-plugin/1.5.1/axis2-aar-maven-plugin-1.5.1.pom Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/axis2/axis2-aar-maven-plugin/1.5.1/axis2-aar-maven-plugin-1.5.1.jar [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'aar'. [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-aar-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] For more information, run Maven with the -e switch [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 2 seconds [INFO] Finished at: Tue Mar 16 12:38:18 NZDT 2010 [INFO] Final Memory: 3M/5M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ So even though maven locates the plugin and installs it into the repo, it cannot find it for use. Obviously I've missed something obvious. --Dave Wendy Smoak-3 wrote: > > On Mon, Jan 5, 2009 at 12:49 PM, Martin Gainty <mgai...@hotmail.com> > wrote: > >> Page Not Found > > What page is not found?
