I'm quite sure you must have reconfigured something since last time it worked. The plugin exists in central, and for some reason your build isn't looking there.
Run mvn help:effective-pom and find the <pluginRepositories> section and paste it in a reply. Also, you might want to consider locking the version of the plugin being used. You do that in the pluginManagement section. Currently I think you don't have a version specified, so Maven will try to get the latest (2.8-SNAPSHOT). That may cause issues when a new version is available, which isn't backwardscompatible for some reason. Or possibly you do have the version set to 2.8-SNAPSHOT? You can see that as well in the effective pom. http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Plugin_Management (In this case you only need to specify groupId, artifactId, and version. The latest released version is 2.7, which exists in central.) /Anders On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 22:32, Rick R <[email protected]> wrote: > running mvn eclipse:eclipse used to work.. now I'm getting... > > [INFO] Unable to find resource > 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-eclipse-plugin:maven-plugin:2.8-SNAPSHOT' > in > repository codehaus-plugins (http://dist.codehaus.org/) > [INFO] Cannot find mojo descriptor for: 'eclipse:eclipse' - Treating as > non-aggregator. > > I'm new to maven and stumped by what is going on? > > -- > Rick R >
