Error: plugin execution not covered by life cycle configuration:org.codhaus.mojo:build-helper-maven-plugin:1.3:add-source

Question

I'm trying to run a program that I've been given to include into a solution, but I have this error when I try mvn :exec java :

[ERROR] Could not find goal '' in plugin org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.4
.0 among available goals exec, help, java -> [Help 1]

Answer 1

when i try mvn :exec java i have this error .

It's mvn exec:java

The error you are getting is that there is no action '' (empty string) because before the : there is nothing!
