no any "plugin descriptor" founded in my maven project - maven

I am wanting to create UI with qt-jambi, but i have a problem.
i am using maven in eclipse, and create a maven project, and i downloaded and installed 3rd party qt-jambi jar files in my local repository from here:
http://old.qt-jambi.org/maven2/net/sf/qtjambi/
and below files:
(1) qtjambi-maven-plugin-linux32-4.5.2_01.jar
(2) qtjambi-platform-linux32-4.5.2_01.jar
i am using ubuntu 12.10(32bit) and Maven 3.0.4.
My maven repository(m2 home)path for qt-jambi is like below:
/home/mehdi/.m2/repository/net/sf/qtjambi/qtjambi/4.5.2_01/qtjambi-4.5.2_01.jar
/home/mehdi/.m2/repository/net/sf/qtjambi/qtjambi-maven-plugin-linux32/4.5.2_01/qtjambi-maven-plugin-linux32-4.5.2_01.jar
so i add this lines to my pom.xml: http://old.qt-jambi.org/users/maven-repository/
my pom.xml file is:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

You need to add into the relevant part of your POM:
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>qtjambi-releases-before-2011</id>
<name>QtJambi (Releases Before 2011)</name>
<url>http://repository.qt-jambi.org/nexus/content/repositories/releases-before-2011</url>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
The above can be put into your settings.xml or project POM.
You should really run a local repository proxy (such as Nexus or Artifactory). Then setup your settings.xml to point to that local repository. Then configure it to cache central and qtjambi and other repositories you use. However that benefits of this are too long to go into here, best to research the topic with google.

Parameterized version like Spring Boot

I want to parameterize Maven version as a variable like Spring Boot.

thanks,#khmarbaise,
i give up using maven-ci-friendly at present,maybe ${revision} something wrong with ${revision} under spring boot,and some version i can not hold it;
first,i created a module extends parent:
Not Covered
second:flatten plugin occurs on eclipse 4.7.3a java standard version;
Can Not Load Flatten
three:use flatten plugin inherited:true or false, and starter-* open,
project works fine,junit five and restdoc can extend from starter module,
if do not use flatten,also works fine:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>flatten-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1.0</version>
<!-- <inherited>true or false</inherited> -->

</plugin>
Extend
step four:if i execute mvn clean deploy upload jar to nexus,and close
starter module,errors on project cif-dependency,this project
has no relation with starter module(just extends from it),
and junit five/restdocs can not be extends from starter module,
Not Extend

How can I make maven deploy artifacts to the home directory on a remote server without specifying it?

I'm able to deploy my project to my remote server like this:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

<distributionManagement>
<repository>
<id>internal</id>
<url>scpexe://maven#myserver.com/home/maven</url>
</repository>
</distributionManagement>
</project>
But (as you can see) I'm forced to specify the home directory of the maven user on my server. Usually when I use scp I can simply use scp somefile.txt me#myserver.com: and the file is transferred to the home directory of the user on my server. But if I try something similar in the pom.xml:
<distributionManagement>
<repository>
<id>internal</id>
<url>scpexe://maven#myserver.com:</url>
</repository>
</distributionManagement>
I get this error message:
Execution default-deploy of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:2.7:deploy failed: For input string: "" -> [Help 1]
If I try this:
<distributionManagement>
<repository>
<id>internal</id>
<url>scpexe://maven#myserver.com</url>
</repository>
</distributionManagement>
then Maven tries creating the repo structure and deploying the artifact directly to the server root directory. So I get this error message:
Error executing command for transfer: Exit code 1 - mkdir: cannot create directory ‘//com’: Permission denied -> [Help 1]
Is there a way to specify the maven repository as residing in the users home directory without having to manually specify where the home directory is?
The Maven configuration file uses a different syntax. What your example shows is this
<url>scpexe://maven#myserver.com/home/maven</url>
So by extension what you want is this
<url>scpexe://maven#myserver.com/</url>
You could try using the $HOME environment variable like so
<distributionManagement>
<repository>
<id>internal</id>
<url>scpexe://maven#myserver.com:$HOME</url>
</repository>
</distributionManagement>
OR if that doesn't work maybe this might?
<distributionManagement>
<repository>
<id>internal</id>
<url>scpexe://maven#myserver.com:~</url>
</repository>
</distributionManagement>
Of course this is assuming you're running Linux as well.
you must add port number before $HOME
<url>scpexe://maven#myserver.com:22/$HOME</url>

Birt viewer to a Maven project for birt 4.3.1

Hi Iam new to birt and maven .Could any one help me how to convert a birt viewer as a maven project which needs be deployed in weblogic.Any suggestion or tutorial links will be a great help.
Thanks in Advance.
Create with this folder structure and create xml file named pom.xml .
Download the Birt runtime and you can find a birtviewer example (WebViewerExample).
.WebViewerExample(Root Folder)
.src
.main
.webapp
.WEB-INF
.lib
.web.xml
..(other files)
.new_report_1.rptdesign
...(other files)
.pom.xml
.target
.weblogic-maven-plugin.jar
Download BirtReportFramework and copy the jar files having names with 'org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda' from birt-report-framework-4_3_1\eclipse\plugins to WebViewerExample\src\main\webapp\WEB-INF\lib
In command prompt got to Root folder here 'WebViewerExample' and run mvn clean install.
If you get maven error for missing or unable to download any jar files .No worries..you google the jar location in the maven website and download the jar manually and real trick is placing the jar at correct place inside your maven repository.
For Example if the error is like "[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-eclipse-plugin:2.9:eclipse"
Go to Maven repository whose path is like .m2\repository\org\apache\maven\plugins\maven-eclipse-plugin\2.9
Inside 2.9 folder place the maven-eclipse-plugin-2.9.jar and maven-eclipse-plugin-2.9.pom.
Also try to download and place the dependent jar and pom if the maven not get for you due to some problem..

Can I check for snapshot vs release build in pom.xml?

Is there a way to skip plugin execution or activate profile only for snapshot build (and for release build accordingly)?
You have the distributionManagement tag in your pom.xml file like the following:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
...
<distributionManagement>
<repository>
<id>release</id>
<name>Corporate Repository</name>
<url>http://server.name.com/releases/</url>
</repository>
<snapshotRepository>
<id>snapshots</id>
<name>Propellors Snapshots</name>
<url>http://server.name.com/snapshots/</url>
</snapshotRepository>
...
</distributionManagement>
...
</project>
Yes - you can do it directly and flexibly.
Define a property which is activated only when Maven release plugin runs. Then have your other plugins check the value of that property to decide whether to run or not.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.2</version>
<configuration>
<preparationGoals>clean install -D release-flag=true</preparationGoals>
<goals>deploy -D release-flag=true</goals>
</configuration>
</plugin>
PS: A similar effect can be achieved using -P release-profile instead of -D release-flag

Maven Multi-Module Project, Not Resolving Dependencies

I have a multi-module maven project that I can't get to compile. I have a Nexus repository sitting on my local network, and it is working (IntelliJ Idea is able to resolve my dependencies which reside only in that repository), and I am building through Jetbrains TeamCity. I am fairly certain that TeamCity is working since several other build configurations I have set up still work (using the same settings.xml). I am a bit of a loss for what could be causing the issue. Here are my pom files:

I am at quite a loss while trying to debug this... does anyone have any suggestions?
There are several approaches / tools for troubleshooting this sort of problem.
For this "could not resolve dependencies" error, there is almost always a more detailed error message and/or stacktrace earlier in the build log. Maven logs are actually extremely verbose, to the point of having to search for the "root" error message several screens up from the build failure.
Re-run the build with the -X flag. Here is documentation of Maven command line switches
Another option is to use mvn dependency:tree to inspect the full graph of transitive dependencies. mvn help:effective-pom is another useful tool that prints out the pom.xml after considering your settings.xml, any active profiles, etc. Likewise mvn help:active-profiles
There are many problems in your multi-module build. The most important one is that you define a dependency:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.company.product</groupId>
<artifactId>product-common</artifactId>
<version>0.9.1</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
which seemed either not be existing in a repository or you have not access to the repository which contains it or your download has failed based on whatever reason (can't guess!). Are you using a repository manager like Artifactory, Nexus, Archiva? If not i recommend to start using one.
Apart from that you are using different versions for parent and the module in wireless-module:
<parent>
<artifactId>plugin-parent</artifactId>
<groupId>com.company.product.plugins</groupId>
<version>1.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.company.product.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>product-wireless-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.1.2</version>
A multi module build should define the version only via the parent and not within the artifact which means the above should look like this:
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<parent>
<artifactId>plugin-parent</artifactId>
<groupId>com.company.product.plugins</groupId>
<version>1.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>
<groupId>com.company.product.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>product-wireless-plugin</artifactId>
The module should not define a version itself, cause it will inherit it from the parent. Furthermore you can see that you have a module which defines a release version (1.2) whereas the parent defines a SNAPSHOT version. An application/modules which are under development should define a version which is a SNAPSHOT version which means a thing like 1.2-SNAPSHOTetc.
The same applies accordingly for the definition of the distributionManagement. This should be defined only once in the parent of the project.
BTW. If you have several project the best is to define a company parent which contains some default definitions like distributionManagement, pluginManagement, dependencyManagement etc.
Ok, I have solved the problem thanks to input from #noahlz. After utilizing the -X flag to debug my build, I was finding that the parent pom of "product-common" (product-parent) could not be found. After browsing my Sonatype Nexus repository, I discovered that my build system was only publishing new versions of the parent pom when new modules were added to it. So, even though my parent pom was on version 0.9.0, the repository had the latest version as 0.6.1. I suppose the "product-common" library was compiling correctly because it had access to the parent pom (with the 0.9.0 version number) at compile time. Either way, changing the parent pom version in "product-common" to point to the most recent in the repository resolved my build issues with my plugins.
