maven-scala-plugin giving pom file error
eclipse, m2eclipse, maven, maven-plugin, scala
Solution
No, this is not a Maven bug. This page describes why the message is shown and how to deal with it.
After pressing Ctrl+1 over the problem Eclipse should suggest two quick fixes:
Discover new m2e connectors. Try this first, if it finds a connector restart Eclipse and rebuild the project, the problem should go away.
Permanently mark goal as ignored. It will add some code in `pom.xml` which means the goal won't be run on builds within Eclipse, only from command line. You can also replace `<ignore>` in the added part with `<execute>` to run the goal in Eclipse as well.
Problem
I'm testing java code using scala and maven. The maven-scala-plugin is returning a pom file error in Eclipse. Here is my pom snippet : ``` <plugin> <groupId>org.scala-tools</groupId> <artifactId>maven-scala-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.15.2</version> <executions> <execution> <id>scala-test-compile</id> <phase>test-compile</phase> <goals> <goal>testCompile</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> ``` This is the error : ``` Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.scala-tools:maven-scala-plugin:2.15.2:testCompile (execution: scala-test-compile, phase: test-compile) ``` Have I configured the pom correctly ? The scala tests are running correctly, in that they are all passing. Perhaps this is a Maven bug ? When I view maven properties for the project the lifecycle mappings are not available :
