https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Plugin+tutorial $ mvn -U org.jenkins-ci.tools:maven-hpi-plugin:create $ # open up pom.xml, change 'java.version' to 8 $ mvn package I get the following error: ``` [INFO] --- animal-sniffer-maven-plugin:1.14:check (check) @ wtf --- [INFO] Checking unresolved references to org.codehaus.mojo.signature:java18:null [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 6.085s [INFO] Finished at: Fri Apr 08 11:14:13 MDT 2016 [INFO] Final Memory: 116M/723M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:animal-sniffer-maven-plugin:1.14:check (check) on project wtf: Execution check of goal org.codehaus.mojo:animal-sniffer-maven-plugin:1.14:check failed: For artifact {org.codehaus.mojo.signature:java18:null:signature}: The version cannot be empty. -> [Help 1] ``` Is this a known issue?
