I cannot get maven checkstyle to run on build or verify, despite copy & pasting the code directly from the checkstyle website.
I can see checkstyle working fine and finding problems when running mvn checkstyle:check, but not on any phase like clean compile verify. These phases just compile fine and find no problems, completely ignoring checkstyle. I set up a minimal example here. The pom.xml is as follows:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"

You need to bind Checkstyle execution to the verify phase, like this:
...
<execution>
<id>checkstyle-check</id>
<phase>verify</phase>
<configuration>
<sourceDirectories>${project.build.sourceDirectory}</sourceDirectories>
<configLocation>config/checkstyle_checks.xml</configLocation>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>check</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
...
This snippet is taken from one of my projects, you can view the entire pom.xml here.
Figured it out: I had the block in <pluginManagement>. Moving it out of there it instantly worked. I wished, maven would have more complete example on their website.

I'm working on creating a pom for a project and adding test cases to it. The project is an eclipse plugin.
Compiling the project with tycho works just fine, the only problem is during testing:
If I run both maven-surefire-plugin tests and tycho-surefire-plugin-tests, the former performs all the tests as expected, while the latter gives the following error:
Execution test of goal org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-surefire-plugin:1.7.0:test failed: Tycho build extension not configured for MavenProject
I would be perfectly fine to just add <skipTests>true</skipTests> to the tycho-surefire-plugin while keeping maven-surefire-plugin on; the problem is even that way, jacoco refuses to create the coverage site, with the following (non error) message:
Skipping JaCoCo execution due to missing execution data file.
I tried to look for solutions of both, but any combination of the solutions I found doesn't lead me to having a working coverage site.
Maven really makes me quite confused, especially with tycho around, so I'd apreciate any explanation on top of the actual fix.
Here is my pom:

Of course there won't be any test result for the JaCoCo due to you are using very old Surefire version 2.12.4. This version was not created for JUnit5.
Use the latest version 3.0.0-M5 and see the tutorial.
If you want to have tiny POM, remove the dependency junit-jupiter-engine due to you do not need to have an access to the JUnit internals in your test code. The Surefire will download it shortly before the test runtime.
Your POM has several errors. Let's start with the root cause and then other priorities from high to low.
Whole problem is that Surefire does not know about JaCoCo. You have to tel "him" this way (see jacoco.agent) which "wires" both. Pls ead the documentation in the JaCoCo project:
<properties>
<jvm.args.tests>-Xmx2048m -Xms1024m -XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=50 -Djava.awt.headless=true -Djdk.net.URLClassPath.disableClassPathURLCheck=true</jvm.args.tests>
<properties>
...
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<argLine>${jvm.args.tests} ${jacoco.agent}</argLine>
</configuration>
...
The next error is with the way how you use plugins. The plugin jacoco-maven-plugin must be used only in the plugins section. The problem is that you use it also in the dependencies section. You do not want to have it on the classpath. It is job of the property jacoco.agent to put the jacoco agent on the test classpth only but there the JaCoCo plugin must start before the Surefire plugin.
The next thing i do not understand is the config of the compiler. Why you have this?

<execution>
<id>compiletests</id>
<phase>test-compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>testCompile</goal>

I have second question regarding the packaging. I have never seen this one. It isn't a standard packaging.
<packaging>eclipse-test-plugin</packaging>
Has the Eclipse plugin any special binary form of the archive file?
I want mvn clean verify to run following command for me
jmeter -n -t <file.jmx> -l <reports.csv> -e -o /htmlReports
I checked below similar question How to create HTML reports using Jmeter Maven Plugin 2.1.0. but it didn't work for me.
I want all data to be inside target folder, plus .jtl so that at next run all previous gets cleaned up.

You can do this using Maven Exec plugin, the relevant configuration would be
<configuration>
<basedir>/path/to/bin/folder/of/your/jmeter/installation</basedir>
<executable>jmeter</executable>
<commandlineArgs>-n -t -f file.jmx -l ${basedir}/target/reports.csv -e -o ${basedir}/target/htmlReports</commandlineArgs>
</configuration>
Just in case something "will not work" again here is full pom.xml file

Don't forget to change /path/to/bin/folder/of/your/jmeter/installation to real path to your JMeter otherwise it "will not work".
Report generation via JMeter Maven Plugin should also work fine, if you experience any issues please show your pom.xml file and maven command output.
Example configuration you can use for reference:

N.B.
you will need to copy your file.jmx script into src/test/jmeter folder, otherwise it "will not work"
if your test is using any JMeter Plugins - it "will not work" without defining them as dependencies
if your test uses external data files - it "will not work" unless you copy them to src/test/jmeter folder

Requirements:
copy your jmx file into src/test/jmeter folder
if you use 3rd party plugins like JMeter Plugins, ensure you follow this documentation
if you use CSV data files - copy them to src/test/jmeter folder
Step 1 - Create test plan and save JMX script
Step 2 - Executing JMeter tests
<plugin>
<groupId>com.lazerycode.jmeter</groupId>
<artifactId>jmeter-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.8.1</version>

</executions>
<configuration>
<ignoreResultFailures>true</ignoreResultFailures>
<testResultsTimestamp>false</testResultsTimestamp>
</configuration>

Step 3 - Save test result into csv/xls file
Step 4 - The following plugin is used to transform the result

I am working in Spring boot web application with maven build. I want to compress all js & css files. I have chosen YUI compression. When I build my application yui compression not happened. I am getting following message for all js & css files.
[INFO] nothing to do, **css\base.css is younger than original, use 'force' option or clean your target
What I am missing ?

Project structure :
It's not an error and works as expected. The plugin creates a minified version of the resource only when it's minified version doesn't exist or when source file has been changed. When plugin found that minified version was created later than source file, it doesn't do minification and assumes that nothing to be done.
As you can see, message suggests you to use force option (in this case, minified version will be always generated but it will be slower) or clean the target (execute mvn clean to remove all generated files so they will be generated again).
UPDATED:
I was able to reproduce the issue. It happens because yuicompressor-maven-plugin is being executed after maven-resource-plugin. The former was copied all the files from src/main/resources to the target directory and when yuicompressor was being executed, it found that the files already here (non-minified of course) and show this message.
To fix this, first, we need to configure resource plugin to exclude resources:
<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>${basedir}/src/main/resources/public</directory>
<excludes>
<exclude>*.js</exclude>
<exclude>*/*.js</exclude>
</excludes>
</resource>
</resources>
</build>
But it didn't solve it because after that I found that yuicompressor doesn't process these files. This is because the plugin was looking in the wrong directory and we have to configure it also:
<plugin>
<groupId>net.alchim31.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>yuicompressor-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.5.1</version>
...
<configuration>
<nosuffix>true</nosuffix>
<sourceDirectory>src/main/resources/public</sourceDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Use -Dmaven.clean.failOnError=false to mvn command.
example: mvn clean -Dmaven.clean.failOnError=false
Just by adding Force option I resolved this issue:
<plugin>
<groupId>net.alchim31.maven</groupId>

<version>1.5.1</version>

In a nutshell, I'm looping through these three items (cecore,celib, and cesession) to perform the actual installation.
I would like to then add these three items as dependencies, but since these won't exist before the package phase, Maven complains about that.
Ideally, I would like to instruct Maven to resolve the dependencies after the packaging, or to instruct Maven to trust that the dependencies will in fact become available.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks!

I need to get the "dependency:tree" goal output from Maven at the start of the "test" phase, to help debug an issue for which I need to know what versions of everything are being used.
In Ant it would have been easy, I've looked through the Maven docs and numerous answers on here but still can't figure it out, surely it's not that hard?
This will output the test dependency tree:
mvn test dependency:tree -DskipTests=true
If you want to be sure that the dependency:tree is being run in the beginning of the test phase then you will have to move the original surefire:test goal to being conducted after the dependency:tree. To do that you will have to put the plugins in the order that they should be run.
Here is a complete pom.xml example that adds the maven-dependency-plugin before the maven-surefire-plugin. The original default-test is disabled and a new custom-test is added and this one will be run after the dependency-tree execution.

<goal>test</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
It's a little bit awkward but that is the way to disable executions.
Declare this in your project POM:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>test-compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>tree</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
You can adopt this pattern to trigger any plugin during a specific build phase. See http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html#Plugins.
See also http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html#Lifecycle_Reference for a list of the build phases. As maba points out, you need to carefully select the phase to ensure the tree goal is executed at the correct time.
