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

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.
