Error in Project Attempting to Use maven-install-plugin with 'lib' Packaging

[Brad Harper]

Hello All:

I'm using M2 'maven-native-plugin' to build C++ libraries and apps. Within
the
overall project structure I have a module to handle a set of 3rd-party
(library) artifacts. Some of these are native libraries (without source) and
some are
built from open source.

I'd like to run

   % mvn install

in the 3rd-party module and have the pre-built libraries simply copied
into the local repository with an </artifactId> that can be expressed in
the </dependencyManagement> part elsewhere.

The POM descriptor for one of these native library sub-modules contains

  <packaging>lib</packaging>

  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>install-library</id>
            <phase>install</phase>
            <configuration>
              <groupId>com-epsiia-dxr-third-party</groupId>
              <artifactId>dxr-third-party-com-emc-\
                            centera-fplibrary-WINDOWS-X86</artifactId>
              <version>2.0SP1</version>
              <packaging>lib</packaging>
              <file>FPLibrary.lib</file>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

but maven complains

  [ERROR] BUILD ERROR
  [INFO] ----
  [INFO] Cannot find lifecycle mapping for packaging: 'lib'
  Component descriptor cannot be found in the component \
  repository: org.apache.maven.lifecyle.mapping.LifecycleMappinglib.

The 'maven-native-plugin' is supplied by codehaus.org and the plugin's
use is declared in an ancestor POM descriptor. In modules where C++
source is compiled/linked, the 'install' goal moves the resulting
artifact into the repository.

Any thoughts on how to get 'maven-install-plugin' to acknowledge the
'lib' packaging?

Thanks.

Brad
