plugin shorthand not working as expected

I've read through and followed this:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-plugin-prefix-mapping.html

I have a custom plugin whose groupId I've configured in a custom pluginGroup
in my <m2_home>/conf/settings.xml like so:

<pluginGroups>
    <pluginGroup>com.mycompany.maven.plugin</pluginGroup>
</pluginGroups>

In the generated plugin.xml, I have <goalPrefix>promotion</goalPrefix> and
<goal>promote</goal>.  The problem is that unless I install this file to my
local repo by building it locally, I can't use the shorthand notation to
invoke it.  In other words, when I install the plugin to my local repo, this
command works fine:

mvn promotion:promote

But when I delete the artifact from my local repo and run the same command,
I get the following output.  (Using the fully qualified notation results in
the plugin being invoked as normal, so I  know that the plugin is in my
central repo.)

Here's the relevant output:

[INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'promotion'.
[INFO] com.mycompany.maven.plugin: check for updates from central
[INFO]---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO]---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-promotion-plugin' does not
exist....'

It appears that the <pluginGroup> is being resolved, but I can't figure out
why Maven doesn't resolve the shorthand unless I install locally.  Any
ideas?

RE: plugin shorthand not working as expected

Posted by "Brian E. Fox" <br...@reply.infinity.nu>.
I fixed some code related to the plugin prefixes in
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2926. This is currently in
2.0.7-SNAPSHOT, I wonder if it might be fixed at the same time.

I've read through and followed this:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-plugin-prefi
x-mapping.html

I have a custom plugin whose groupId I've configured in a custom
pluginGroup
in my <m2_home>/conf/settings.xml like so:

<pluginGroups>
    <pluginGroup>com.mycompany.maven.plugin</pluginGroup>
</pluginGroups>

In the generated plugin.xml, I have <goalPrefix>promotion</goalPrefix>
and
<goal>promote</goal>.  The problem is that unless I install this file to
my
local repo by building it locally, I can't use the shorthand notation to
invoke it.  In other words, when I install the plugin to my local repo,
this
command works fine:

mvn promotion:promote

But when I delete the artifact from my local repo and run the same
command,
I get the following output.  (Using the fully qualified notation results
in
the plugin being invoked as normal, so I  know that the plugin is in my
central repo.)

Here's the relevant output:

[INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'promotion'.
[INFO] com.mycompany.maven.plugin: check for updates from central
[INFO]------------------------------------------------------------------
---------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO]------------------------------------------------------------------
---------
[INFO] The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-promotion-plugin' does
not
exist....'

It appears that the <pluginGroup> is being resolved, but I can't figure
out
why Maven doesn't resolve the shorthand unless I install locally.  Any
ideas?

Have you tried removing your entire local repo?  That seems to fix lots
of problems...
