Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration error in Eclipse Juno

Question

Why does my Maven build work perfectly fine on the command line but when I run in Eclipse, it requires I add this section to my pom.xml, otherwise I get this error:

<         


        

Answer 1

I finally solved it. It appears that the "pluginManagement" section I posted above is required by an Eclipse Maven project in general, even though I resisted it, and even though no documentation that I can find on the internet ever mentions this explicitly.

ALso, the "versionRange" in the lifecycle exclusion section seems to also require the version number of the "gmaven-plugin" rather than the "version of Maven" which I was trying to give it above.

    org.codehaus.gmaven
    gmaven-plugin
    [1.5,)
    
        testCompile
        compile
