Plugin execution does not apply to AppEngine lifecycle configuration

Question

Need help with the next release of Eclipse m2e:

The execution of plugins does not extend to the life cycle configuration: com.google.appengine: appengine-maven-plugin: 1.8.3: endpoints_get_discovery_doc (execution: default, phase: compilation)

<plugin> <groupId>com.google.appengine</groupId> <artifactId>appengine-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.8.3</version> <configuration> <enableJarClasses>false</enableJarClasses> </configuration> <executions> **<execution>** <goals> <goal>endpoints_get_discovery_doc</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> 

Any ideas? Pom.xml looks like this: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/appengine-endpoints-tictactoe-java-maven/blob/master/pom.xml

Answer 1

Put this in the <build> section of your pom

 <pluginManagement> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.eclipse.m2e</groupId> <artifactId>lifecycle-mapping</artifactId> <version>1.0.0</version> <configuration> <lifecycleMappingMetadata> <pluginExecutions> <pluginExecution> <pluginExecutionFilter> <groupId>com.google.appengine</groupId> <artifactId>appengine-maven-plugin</artifactId> <versionRange>[1.8.3,)</versionRange> <goals> <goal>endpoints_get_discovery_doc</goal> </goals> </pluginExecutionFilter> <action> <ignore></ignore> </action> </pluginExecution> </pluginExecutions> </lifecycleMappingMetadata> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </pluginManagement>

This question was answered How to solve "Plugin execution not covered by life cycle configuration" for Spring Data Maven Builds

The only difference is that in your case you need to replace the pluginExecutionFilter tag with the following:

 <pluginExecutionFilter> <groupId>com.google.appengine</groupId> <artifactId>appengine-maven-plugin</artifactId> <versionRange>1.8.3</versionRange> <goals> <goal>test-compile</goal> <goal>compile</goal> </goal> </pluginExecutionFilter>
