There is some config issues either in plugin POM or my POM. I tried the same setup on a different machine got the same thing. So please read this carefully. I removed maven repo to start from scratch.
I use this repo https://repository.apache.org for plugins and dependencies in my POM. I use this for plugin declaration: <groupId>org.apache.openejb.maven</groupId> <artifactId>tomee-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version> I package the war, I run mvn tomee:run I get the below: [WARNING] The POM for org.apache.openejb.maven:tomee-maven-plugin:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT is missing, no dependency information available [WARNING] Failed to retrieve plugin descriptor for org.apache.openejb.maven:tomee-maven-plugin:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Plugin org.apache.openej b.maven:tomee-maven-plugin:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org. apache.openejb.maven:tomee-maven-plugin:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT [ERROR] No plugin found for prefix 'tomee' in the current project and in the plugin groups [org.apache.maven.plugins, org.codehaus.mojo ] available from the repositories [local (C:\Users\zeeman\.m2\repository), apache-maven-snapshots (https://repository.apache.org), c entral (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2)] -> [Help 1] Things would work on your machine because you have the plugin installed locally. If you remove your maven repo, I bet you'll get the above error.
