Build error: Cannot find Plexus container for plugin

[Brian Karemba <b....@delta.co.zw>]

Hi I am using maven to package an exo-bonita process. After some
tinkering (proper config) of my settings.xml file I've been able to get
the process to start. However some of the artifacts cannot be found in
the repositories configured so I've followed the given instructions and
have downloaded the artifacts, however when I try and install them I get
the following error message:
 
 
C:\holiday-standalone>mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=javax.ejb
-DartifactId=ejb -Dversion=2.1 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=ejb-2_

How can I resolve this.
