The problem is exactly as the faq describes. Perhaps I need to clarify some more in the faq... When you invoke a plugin from the cli that has configuration in the pom, that configuration must _not_ be contained inside an executions tag. I really think we need to look at changing that because it causes lots of user confusion (this is a maven thing, not a dependency plugin thing). Take a look at the second example on the usage page:
If you intend to configure this mojo for execution on the command line using: mvn dependency:copy you must not put the configuration inside the executions tag. Your configuration should look like this: <project> [...] <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <artifactItems> <artifactItem> <groupId>[ groupId ]</groupId> <artifactId>[ artifactId ]</artifactId> <version>[ version ]</version> <type>[ packaging ]</type> <overWrite>[ true or false ]</overWrite> <outputDirectory>[ output directory ]</outputDirectory> <destFileName>[ filename ]</destFileName> </artifactItem> </artifactItems> <!-- other configurations here --> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> [...] </project> -----Original Message----- From: muhwas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2007 5:18 PM To: Maven Users List; Brian E.
