Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration
eclipse-kepler, maven, pom.xml, spring, spring-mvc
Solution
The problem is that m2e requires one eclipse plugin for each maven plugin that you use (it's actually a bit more complex than that, but in practice, there is an almost one to one correspondence between Eclipse plugins and maven plugins for your project).
There are two solutions:
- Use the maven-eclipse plugin to automatically generate all of your eclipse project files. From the command line, run `mvn eclipse:eclipse` to do this. You should also uninstall m2e so that it doesn't try to manage your maven project.
- Install Spring-Ide. I'd recommend going with a fresh installation, but you can also install it into an existing instance of Eclipse. This comes pre-installed with all of the m2e plugins that you will need.
Problem
Beginner of Spring Background : So far, i have been working on core JAVA and now i need to switch to MVC Trying to make my first Spring MVC Hello World Example from this tutorial , i am getting below error on `pom.xml`: ``` Multiple annotations found at this line: - Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin: 2.3.2:compile (execution: default-compile, phase: compile) - Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin: 2.5:testResources (execution: default-testResources, phase: process-test-resources) - <packaging>war</packaging> - Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin: 2.5:resources (execution: default-resources, phase: process-resources) - Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin: 2.3.2:testCompile (execution: default-testCompile, phase: test-compile) ``` Error is generated on this line of pom.xml : ``` <packaging>war</packaging> ``` pom.xml ``` <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/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.javacodegeeks.snippets.enterprise</groupId> <artifactId>springexample</artifactId> <packaging>war</packaging> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <name>springexample Maven Webapp</name> <url>http://maven.apache.org</url> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <version>3.8.1</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId> <version>${spring.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId> <version>${spring.version}</version> </dependency> </dependencies> <build> <finalName>springexample</finalName> </build> <properties> <spring.version>4.0.2.RELEASE</spring.version> </properties> </project> ``` I even installed `m2e` after searching in marketplace Please go easy, this question comes in as an attempt to learn something totally new to me. Do i need some plugin or something to resolve this? If so, is there any universal kind of plugin to avoid any such future error?
