I have a project that builds an rpm with the rpm plugin which works fine. Now I want to build several rpms so I've made several projects and a parent project to run them all. However when I run the parent (mvn -o clean rpm:rpm) I get the following output:
NOTE: Maven is executing in offline mode. Any artifacts not already in your local repository will be inaccessible. [INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] Reactor build order: [INFO] micro_proxy [INFO] sockd [INFO] JWSS [INFO] rpm [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'rpm'. [INFO] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [INFO] The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-rpm-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found [INFO] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- My parent pom looks like: <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd";> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>org.jcdx.jwss</groupId> <artifactId>rpm</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> <packaging>pom</packaging> <name>rpm</name> <url>http://jcdx.org</url> <parent> <groupId>org.jcdx.jwss</groupId> <artifactId>jwss</artifactId> <version>1.0.0</version> </parent> <modules> <module>micro_proxy</module> <module>socks</module> <module>jwss</module> </modules> <build> <pluginManagement> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>rpm-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0-alpha-2-SNAPSHOT</version> </plugin> </plugins> </pluginManagement> </build> </project> I don't think the pluginManagement does anything in this instance. I can run this command successfully in the suprojects why doesn't it work from the parent? Is there a way in the parent to specify the goals for the children? Xavier
