Hi all,
I need to use the dependency plugin for two separate tasks in a project.
I don't understand how to define multiple executions of a plugin. The
relevant portion of my pom.xml and the error message are below.
Also, what is the purpose of the <id> element in an execution? Can I use
it from the command line to invoke a specific execution?
Thanks for any help.
