mvn spring-boot:run errors with No plugin found for prefix 'spring-boot' in the current project and in the plugin groups

Question

I have a Java application which should be run with mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring.profiles.active=dev -Djasypt.encryptor.password=<DJASYPT_ENCRYPTOR_PASSWORD> .

If I just run that command I get this:

I don't think I should need to add this to the accapi pom:

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.12.RELEASE</version>
    <relativePath /> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>

and this to plugins

If I do and run the mvn command I get this:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <skip>true</skip>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

I get this:

Even if I was correct to do this I'd expect the application to remain running. Is there anything obvious that I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

I had to cd accapiapp then run my mvn command.
