mvn archetype:generate Error building POM (may not be this project's POM)

Question

Hi all!

I am trying to create a jsf+spring+hibernate from a spring project. Below are the steps i have taken. I have been successful in creating projects in the past using the same method. I have no idea where i am making the mistake.

Looking for all the hints, where i am going wrong.

NB: I have made the inputs and error messages as bold.

Answer 1

Your generated project depends on org.appfuse:maven-warpath-plugin which you need to install or provide repository to fetch from first.

In central repo there is 2.0.2 latest version of this plugin: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/appfuse/maven-warpath-plugin/

Try to specify this version explicitly in maven-warpath-plugin declaration if it is not there.
