It's a good practice to pin down the specific version of a plugin you want to use. In this case, specifying <version>2.0.2</version> for the compiler plugin would avoid the issue for you.

I'm looking into the NPE, but if you had a test project that displayed the error, it would help me a lot to debug and fix the problem.

Hi!

We are experiencing the same problem. After adding the codehaus snapshot
repository to our Artifactory server the plexus-compiler could be
downloaded but we still get build errors.

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

org.codehaus.plexus.compiler.javac.JavacCompiler.compile (JavacCompiler.java:120)

Is there any way to prevent Maven from using snapshot versions of
plugins? Just disabling the repos does not seem to suffice.

I got the similar error this morning, after starting a normal clean
install of my project.

As I see from the error message the "maven-compiler-plugin" 2.1- SNAPSHOT
tried to use the 1.6-SNAPSHOT of the "plexus-compiler".

I nailed the version of the maven-compiler-plugin to 2.0.2 and all works.

Does the developer of the maven-compiler-plugin or plexus-compiler
missed to deploy the neccessary snapshot to a public repository ;-)

The reason it is failing is because you are trying to utilize SNAPSHOT
artifacts and yet you have not configured a Snapshot repository in
your pom.xml.

It looks like you're trying to compile Maven itself, or something
along those lines? Why are you doing this? This is generally something
that rookies should avoid doing.

What exactly are you trying to do? Perhaps you can post your pom.xml
somewhere so we can take a look and help you figure things out.

Please help me.
