build.plugins.plugin.version' for org.mortbay.jetty:jetty-maven-plugin is missing

Question

I used the book "Build ing a Restufl WEb Service with Spring" chapter2 project. I imported the maven project in eclipse and I did a maven test and get the below error:

[WARNING] Some problems were encountered while building the effective model for com.packtpub.rest-with-spring:rest-with-spring-all:war:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT [WARNING] 'build.plugins.plugin.version' for org.mortbay.jetty:jetty-maven-plugin is missing. @ com.packtpub.rest-with-spring:rest-with-spring-all:[unknown-version], C:\workspace_buildingRest\B04788_02_code\all\pom.xml, line 21, column 21 [WARNING] [WARNING] It is highly recommended to fix these problems because they threaten the stability of your build.

Here is my pom.xml

                </systemProperties>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Any help or hint is greatly appeciated it.

There's no version element defined for your jetty-maven-plugin — Michael Peacock, Jul 01 '16 at 20:39
The error message tells that `build.plugins.plugin.version` is missing. Indeed, when you look at your `jetty-maven-plugin` configuration, there is no `` specified. [Looks like the latest is 8.1.16.v20140903](http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/mortbay/jetty/jetty-maven-plugin/) so you can have that. Or upgrade to [9.3.9.v20160517 with `org.eclipse.jetty`](http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/eclipse/jetty/jetty-maven-plugin/) groupId instead of `org.mortbay.jetty`. — Tunaki, Jul 01 '16 at 20:40

Can you please tell me exactly what I needed to add to the pom.xml above like what is the value of and where do I add it? — user1272936, Jul 01 '16 at 22:14
