Hello Im working with Eclipse Kepler, but I have working with Hellios a lot of time.
I have a problem with some projects, its very hard to explain but I will try.
Well the problem is: You can do a lot of thing under this projects, the result in MAVEN Console is always the same: [INFO] Using NULL lifecycle mapping for MavenProject.
-I create the "lifecycle-mapping-metadata.xml" under the folder C:{myWorkspace}.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.m2e.core\, restart eclipse and nothing change.
-I edit the "pom.xml" of the project adding the pluginManagment with lifecycle NOTHING! -I change the .project and .classpaht of the project.... NOTHING! -I change my eclipse (Hellios to Kepler)..... NOTHING-
Reading this text maybe you can thing about the problem is the project, but no ! :( But here the strange thing, if u create a new MAVEN PROJECT you can see in the MAVEN Console this text: [INFO] Using org.eclipse.m2e.jdt.JarLifecycleMapping lifecycle mapping for MavenProject: foo.myExample:myExample:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT @ C:{myWorkspace}\myExample\pom.xml. Obviously this project is perfect, with a perfect dependencies, etc.
I add the images of my LifeCycling Mapping in the Maven View of Eclipse

http://www.subirimagenes.net/i/140604060134738146.jpg < good project
I think its something about the project structure, i got :
Project Father ( with pom.xml, with 2 modules) < plugin doestn detect lifeCycle
Project Son JAR ( with pom.xml) < plugin detect lifeCycle to build a JAR file Project Son WAR ( with pom.xml) < plugin detect lifeCycle to build a WAR file
Thanks in advance!
