As I already said, the error message shows up on my Eclipse when I open the pom.xml file without running any commands. The whole error stack is the following:
Multiple annotations found at this line: - Failure to find org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:pom:2.3.2 in http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of nexus has elapsed or updates are forced - No plugin found for prefix 'war' in the current project and in the plugin groups [] available from the repositories [local (C:\Documents and Settings \mine\.m2\repository), nexus (http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public)] When I run a build with the stacktraces on, the output messages are the followings: Apache Maven 3.0.3 (r1075438; 2011-02-28 09:31:09-0800) Maven home: C:\myapp\vsm\EMBEDDED Java version: 1.6.0_29, vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
