I have a project consisting of multiple subprojects. One of these subprojects includes a plugin which is built and installed via "plugin:install" during my project build. A goal is then used from this previously installed plugin to build the rest of the project's subprojects (in other words other subprojects have a dependency on this plugin which is installed during the build process).
Using maven-rc1 this used to be no problem, but as of yesterday (I checked out and built the MAVEN-1_0_Branch) using rc3 this fails. If the plugin doesn't already exist in the ${maven.home}/plugins directory things work fine (if I delete the plugin out before the build starts), the plugin is installed and other subprojects needing to use goal(s) from this plugin find it and the build completes successfully. But if the plugin already exists in ${maven.home}/plugins, I'll get something like below telling me it can't parse the project.xml on the first subproject that tries to invoke a goal from this plugin, (when it fact that file does exist), or I sometimes get a message telling me the plugin.jelly from that plugin can't be found: BUILD FAILED File...... file:/H:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/.maven/plugins/maven-multiproject-plugin-1.2/plugin.jelly Element... maven:reactor Line...... 202 Column.... 9 Unable to obtain goal [multiproject:install-callback] -- file:/I:/java/eclipse/andromda-all/metafacades/uml/maven.xml:17 :42: <attainGoal> Error parsing project.xml 'H:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.maven\plugins\maven-andromda-plugi n-3.0-SNAPSHOT\project.xml' Total time: 23 seconds My configuration is as follows: Windows XP JDK 1.4.2_03 MAVEN-1_0-BRANCH (rc3) as of 04/02/2004 Is this a known issue? Thanks! Chad
