Trying to run a Maven package. Unable to find resource 'org.eclipse.m2e:lifecycle-mapping:pom:1.0.0'

Question

This is working well on Windows, but not on Linux and I don't know what I'm doing wrong here.

After I go to my maven project directory, the one that contains the POM.xml file, and "mvn package -e" it, here is the console output:

And this is the output of "mvn -version"

The root cause of your problem is the non-existing plugin lifecycle-mapping

Unable to download the artifact from any repository org.eclipse.m2e:lifecycle-mapping:pom:1.0.0

The solution to your problem is here: m2e lifecycle-mapping not found

EDIT

Suggestion to avoid using m2eclipse:

Define the plugin lifecycle-mapping in a dev profile and activate this profile only in eclipse. So when you will run it on your CI-Server (without the dev profile): the plugin won't be implied.

Add this to your pom.xml:

<profiles>
<profile>
  <id>dev</id>
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
            <groupId>org.eclipse.m2e</groupId>
            <artifactId>lifecycle-mapping</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.0</version>
            <configuration>
                <lifecycleMappingMetadata>
                    <pluginExecutions>
                        <pluginExecution>
                            <pluginExecutionFilter>
                                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                                <artifactId>aspectj-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                                <versionRange>[1.0,)</versionRange>
                            </pluginExecutionFilter>
                            <action>
                                <execute />
                            </action>
                        </pluginExecution>
                    </pluginExecutions>
                </lifecycleMappingMetadata>
            </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</plugin>
</build>
</profile>
</profiles>

You also need to remove the plugin from your default build section.

The dev profile won't be active by default, so the plugin won't run by default.

To run the build with the plugin you need to activate the profile. There are different way of doing this:

adding -Pdev to mvn command line
find a way under eclipse to activate a profile (no idea how to it, I'm not an eclipse user)
make the dev profile active by default in settings.xml (under $USER_HOME/.m2/settings.xml - if this file don't exists: create it by hand): this useful to activate the dev profile on a developer machine.

To do it, add the following line in settings.xml

 <settings>
  ...
  <activeProfiles>
    <activeProfile>dev</activeProfile>
  </activeProfiles>
</settings>

Note : for the last solution, you must ensure that the maven installation used by eclipse will use this settings.xml (once again, I'm not an eclipse user... so I don't know how to ensure that)

well, they are saying there I should install m2e plugin in eclipse. But I want to be able to run this project outside of Eclipse, so what do I do? — Kaloyan Roussev, Sep 04 '13 at 10:12
thank you. problem is Im new to maven and I dont know how to implement your advice :( — Kaloyan Roussev, Sep 04 '13 at 10:23
I just improved my post with more details on how implement my suggestion — ben75, Sep 04 '13 at 10:39

run mvn eclipse:eclipse from your project directory, this should resolve your m2e lifecycle plugin error.
