Created attachment 333749 [details] mvn package run Description of problem: I am currently trying to migrate some projects to maven. I cannot package even the simplest my-app example. Due to the following reason: [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): maven2-2.0.4-10jpp.10.fc9.i386 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app 2. mvn package Actual results: see attached log Expected results: a simple .jar file should be packaged and tested Additional info: pom.xml is completely auto generated [root@choeger6 modprobe.d]# rpm -qa | grep surefire maven-surefire-booter-1.5.3-2jpp.5.fc9.i386 maven-surefire-1.5.3-2jpp.5.fc9.i386 maven2-plugin-surefire-2.0.4-10jpp.10.fc9.i386 maven2-plugin-surefire-report-2.0.4-10jpp.10.fc9.i386
Can you attach the pom file you are using?
Created attachment 333753 [details] automagically generated pom.xml As I said, that pom file did not get _any_ change from me (did not have a chance to wreck it by myself ;) )
But how do I reproduce this then? Because maven is working for me for simpler projects that I tried..
So the steps above (creating sample app and packaging) work for you? Any chance I can figure out what's screwed up on my machine?
OK, that's weird, I just moved away ~/.m2 and now things work fine. If anyone is interested in investigating that issue I can attach a zipped version of my old .m2 dir (or any particular file therein).
Ah, cool, good to know it is working again. Had you ever used mvn-jpp via command-line? That could cause an issue like this. If not that, then it sounds like some sort of upstream issue..
