You're talking about the junit-test, right?
IIRC that's the downside of using the testing-harness over the maven-invoker-plugin. You have to set every variable inside your test, no annotation/doclet parsing is done, so no verification nor injection is done either. You're trying to test the *injections*, so you should really use the maven-invoker-plugin (or just trust Plexus, these things are tested over and over again) To confirm that it will work: run 'mvn install -DskipTests=true' to get it into your local repository create a new project, configure your plugin and run: 'mvn [plugins-groupId]:[plugins-artifactId]:[plugins-version]:seleniumtest It should fail. Hence, we actually created the first project for the invoker-plugin. You can add this project under src/it/myfirstit/. (of course a better matching name, please ;) ) please check one of the dozens of maven-plugins of org.apache.maven.plugins or org.codehaus.mojo, most of them use the same strategy. Also please read and try the complete chapters about writing plugins. Take the time, soon you'll speed up while writing those plugins. http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnref-book/reference/writing-plugins-sect-plugin-descriptor.html#writing-plugins-sect-mojo-config btw, it's both @parameter and @required -Robert ---------------------------------------- > Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2011 08:41:15 -0700 > From: laredotorn...@gmail.com > To: user@mojo.codehaus.org > Subject: [mojo-user] @required annotation not taking effect in my Mojo > > > Hi, > > I'm building a custom Maven plugin.
