mvn hpi:create gives error "org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-hpi-plugin' does not exist"

[deepali]

hi all,

I am new to jenkins. I want to create jenkins plugin for CI.

I am going through http://javaadventure.blogspot.com/2008/01/writing-hudson-plug-in-part-1.html
link for building jenkins plugin.

I got following message while setting up jenkins:

D:\javaadventure>mvn -e hpi:create

Maven doesn't find the hpi-plugin using it's short name.

Read https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Plugin+tutorial

in particular Setting up environment "This will let you use short names of Jenkins Maven plugins (ie. hpi:create instead of org.jenkins-ci.tools:maven-hpi-plugin:1.61:create)."

Thanks Jerome, I made changes in settings.xml file as mentioned in
link u said.
I found settings.xml file in maven's conf directory and not in
USERPROFILE%\.m2\ directory. So i copied settings.xml from conf to .m2
location (Is this copying of file from one location to other, a good
solution?). Now its working fine.
