Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration (Alfresco, Maven and Eclipse)

[Dan]

In Eclipse I've created a project from the 4.2.b AMP archetype, but after it's created I see the following error:

Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.alfresco.maven.plugin:alfresco-maven-plugin:1.0:set-version (execution: default-set-version, phase: initialize)

The POM lines that the error points to are this:

    <parent>

        <groupId>org.alfresco.maven</groupId>

        <artifactId>alfresco-sdk-parent</artifactId>

        <version>1.0</version>

    </parent>

I could modify the POM to allow this by telling Maven to make the set-version plugin execution proceed, or alter the workspace's Maven lifecycle mapping file (this is my temporary fix), but that seems like fixing the symptom.

Shouldn't the alfresco-maven-plugin have lifecycle mappings defined within it, as recommended here?

Hi Dan, sorry for the terribly late reply.

I've just stumbled on this issue and managed to fix it by adding the following syntax:

<build>

     <pluginManagement>

   <plugins>

    <plugin>

     <groupId>org.eclipse.m2e</groupId>

     <artifactId>lifecycle-mapping</artifactId>

     <version>1.0.0</version>

     <configuration>

       <lifecycleMappingMetadata>

         <pluginExecutions>

           <pluginExecution>

             <pluginExecutionFilter>

               <!--<groupId>some-group-id</groupId>

               <artifactId>some-artifact-id</artifactId>

               <versionRange>[1.0.0,)</versionRange>-->

               <groupId>org.alfresco.maven.plugin</groupId>

               <artifactId>alfresco-maven-plugin</artifactId>

               <versionRange>[0.0.0,)</versionRange>

               <goals>

                 <goal>set-version</goal>

               </goals>

             </pluginExecutionFilter>

             <action>

               <execute >

                 <runOnIncremental>false</runOnIncremental>

               </execute >

             </action>

           </pluginExecution>

         </pluginExecutions>

       </lifecycleMappingMetadata>

     </configuration>

    </plugin>

   </plugins>

  </pluginManagement>

    </build>
