Hello, I have some problems with "goals not found". When I execute:
mvn help:describe -DgroupId=org.apache.maven.plugins -DartifactId=maven-dependency-plugin among many goals I get: ... dependency:get Description: Downloads a single artifact transitively from the specified remote repositories. Caveat: will always check the central repository defined in the super pom. You could use a mirror entry in your settings.xml ... dependency:help Description: Display help information on maven-dependency-plugin. Call mvn dependency:help -Ddetail=true -Dgoal=<goal-name> to display parameter details. ... But if I execute "mvn dependency:help" or "mvn dependency:get" I get: [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'dependency'. [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Required goal not found: dependency:help in org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.0 Is this normal? This happens not only with dependency plugin but others too. On the other hand dependency:list (for instance) works fine.
