I'm trying to configure Jooq source generation to work with Maven in Eclipse (I use M2E), but I'm running into a problem when following the Jooq manual.
Here is the relevant part of my pom.xml: https://gist.github.com/cfd8a0556dd441ab43ff
The error is: Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.jooq:jooq-codegen-maven:2.0.5:generate (execution: default, phase: generate-sources)
It occurs on line 12 of the gist snippet above. What am I doing wrong?
Please see corresponding ME2 wiki page. You need to explicitly configure IDE build-time bindings for your plugin to execute certain goals during build. Alternatively you can implement M2E configurator for your Maven plugin that could take care of that.
As Eugene also stated, this is quite a common problem with the official implementation of M2E. The source code generation phase in the build lifecycle seems to cause a lot of trouble.
I generally suggest using the Apache / Sonatype version of the M2E plugin. This is their Eclipse update site:
http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e/
It seems to be better integrated in Eclipse / Maven. See also this question here:
