[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1231?page=comments#action_64934 ]
David Boden commented on MNG-1231: ---------------------------------- This user's problem was probably due to the fact that it's not clear in the documentation that you have to have a maven-metadata.xml file in your remote repository to describe the plugins like this one: http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-metadata.xml This also has to have a corresponding .sha1 hash file, even if you use the -c option. I've got my plugin working from my repository. However: m2 -DupdateReleaseInfo=true install just doesn't work for me. I get the maven-metadata-local.xml file generated, but Maven doesn't look at it when it's doing the build. For the settings.xml <pluginGroup/> to work, you have to have downloaded the plugin from a remote repository. > pluginGroups ignored in settings.xml > ------------------------------------ > > Key: MNG-1231 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1231 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Bug > Components: Plugins and Lifecycle > Versions: 2.0 (RC) > Environment: Solaris 8 > JDK 1.5 > Reporter: Kevin McNamee > Assignee: Brett Porter > > > Following the example in > http://www.codehaus.org/~jvanzyl/maven2/guides/plugin/guide-java-plugin-development.html > the plugin group "sample.plugin" is completely ignored in the settings.xml. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
