Thanks Stephen, What you suggest sounds like good practice (not sure why though) however not a fix for my issue.
The fix is as follows: - somehow your response inspired me :) In the pom.xml file of the custom plugin there is a plugin configured maven-plugin-plugin in that plugin add configuration <goalPrefix>pce</goalPrefix> I then installed the plugin and I tried mvn pce:pull and that worked fine. Job done.
