Hi, I have encountered a very odd failure when adding the maven-checkstyle-plugin to my pluginManagement section. Below is the simplest POM that triggers this error (both under Maven 3.0.3 and 3.0.4-RC3):
> <project ...> > <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> > <groupId>org.example</groupId> > <artifactId>example</artifactId> > <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> > <build> > <pluginManagement> > <plugins> > <plugin> > <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> > <artifactId>maven-ckeckstyle-plugin</artifactId> > <version>2.8</version> > </plugin> > </pluginManagement> > </build> > </project> A "mvn clean install" runs just fine, but as soon as someone actually tries to do something with the pluginManagement entry (a "mvn help:effective-pom" already triggers this), I get the following warning. > [WARNING] The POM for > org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-ckeckstyle-plugin:jar:2.8 is missing, no > dependency information available > [WARNING] Failed to retrieve plugin descriptor for > org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-ckeckstyle-plugin:2.8: Plugin > org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-ckeckstyle-plugin:2.8 or one of its > dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to read artifact descriptor for > org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-ckeckstyle-plugin:jar:2.8 Note the packaging of "jar" in the above. AFAIK, it should be "maven-plugin" instead. At any rate, the above is really an error rather than a mere warning. Any attempt to actually use the maven-checkstyle-plugin in build/plugins uses the plugin's default configuration rather than any configuration configured build/pluginManagement/plugins. I strongly suspect this is a bug. Can someone please point me to the right issue tracker for this? (I don't think it's the plugin's fault.)
