Hi Vincent, OK, following the instructions I got it built and deployed to my local repository. However, the only way I could get it to run was to type:
m2 sample.plugin:maven-hello-plugin:1.0-SNAPSHOT:sayhi or m2 sample.plugin:maven-hello-plugin:sayhi I tried updating my settings.xml (~/.m2/settings.xml I presume) <settings> <pluginGroups> <pluginGroup>sample.plugin</pluginGroup> </pluginGroups> </settings> but I could not get m2 hello:sayhi to work maven-hello-plugin> m2 hello:sayhi [INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'hello'. [INFO] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [INFO] The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-hello-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: 1 second [INFO] Finished at: Mon Oct 17 14:19:49 MEST 2005 [INFO] Final Memory: 1M/4M [INFO] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any help appreciated, Kevin PS. Is this the only way to write plugins? Is Marmalade dead? -----Original Message----- From: Vincent Siveton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 October 2005 13:01 To: 'Maven Users List' Subject: RE: [m2] Help!
