-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 it's probably trying to resolve RELEASE metadata for the plugin. By default, the plugin version manager only works with defined versions (on the CLI, as you mentioned, or with <version/> in the client POM) and RELEASE versions. You have two options here:
1. update the release metadata for your plugin when you install it locally, using: ~ m2 -DupdateReleaseInfo=true install 2. run your client build (the one that uses the plugin) with LATEST metadata enabled, like so: ~ m2 --check-plugin-latest hello:sayhi also ~ m2 -cpl hello:sayhi This second option works by virtue of the fact that currently, when a plugin is installed or deployed, LATEST version metadata is always updated. This option may or may not be around for the long term (there's a bit of debate over its usefulness), but for now it should work.
