Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration maven error
maven
Solution
This is an issue with Groovy maven configuration. More specifically, m2e connector issues which are, generally speaking, a nightmare. This link contains good info about the m2e connector mess.
Summary
To fix this, you can grab the m2e connector that springsource provides.
http://dist.springsource.org/release/GRECLIPSE/e4.2/
Details
To use it:
- Click Help > Install new software...
- Paste the URL above in the "Work With:" field
- Expand "m2e Configurator for Groovy-Eclipse"
- Choose the first option "Groovy-Eclipse m2e Integration" and install it
I would also recommend installing the "Groovy/Grails Tool Suite for Eclipse" (GGTS) from the Eclipse Marketplace. I just did both of these (installing GGTS then the connector) in Eclipse Kepler and it solved the exact issue you had, above. This fix also works in Juno.
