“Can not set org.eclipse.aether.spi.log.Logger” with custom maven plugin

Question

I have written a small custom maven plugin, and it runs fine.. most of the time.

When using it, it\'s configured to run on test phase, and I see it executing, no proble

Answer 1

After some research, I felt it looked like some version incompatibility. and indeed, it is, between the maven version I am using to build the applications using the plugin, and the maven core version used in the plugin.

• in my plugin, I was using latest maven core version available as a dependency, ie 3.5.2
• I am building the plugin with Maven 3.3.1 and build is OK.
• but when I build a project using the plugin, with Maven 3.3.1, the problem happens.

I downgraded maven core to 3.3.9, then rebuilt my plugin, and it works now.

I guess there are some incompatibilities between maven core 3.5.x and previous maven runtime..

I see on https://jaxenter.com/apache-maven-3-5-0-nothing-see-3-4-0-move-along-133180.html that they switched ... from Eclipse Aether to Maven Artifact Resolver

but what was very confusing is that my build was failing not at the time of my plugin being called, but after.
