[jira] Created: (MNG-1502) FAQ submission: Missing plugin

FAQ submission: Missing plugin
------------------------------

         Key: MNG-1502
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1502
     Project: Maven 2
        Type: Improvement
  Components: documentation - faqs  
    Reporter: Anuerin Diaz


Hi,

   Since this is a common occurence especially for new users, it might be beneficial including a FAQ entry similar to the following:

=================
Why am I getting a "<plugin name> does not exist or no valid version" error?

This means that Maven is unable to access the required plugin from your local repository, and unable to access the official or 'central' Maven2 plugin repository.

You may troubleshoot the problem by performing the following actions:
<ul>
<li>
If you are behind a http proxy, please check the Maven2 <a href="http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-proxies.html">proxy settings guide</a>.
</li>
<li>
If the plugin you seek cannot be redistributed freely then you may <a href="http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-coping-with-sun-jars.html">add it manually</a> to your repository.
</li>
</ul>

If the problem still persists you may seek help from the Maven user list, or <a href="http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG">log a ticket</a> describing your problem.

Anuerin Diaz commented on MNG-1502:
-----------------------------------

Or change the last sentence to the following (I cant seem to find the link to edit submitted issues):

=============
If the problem still persists you may seek help from the Maven user list, <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/users@maven.apache.org/">browse the archives</a> or <a href="http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG">log a ticket</a> describing your problem. 
============

The search functionality on mail-archive.org is easier to use than nabble which is why I prefer it.

ciao!
