NetBeans: Re-run Maven with the -e switch on / PluginResolutionException

Question

i have no clue about Maven and Netbeans, i updated my netbeans and now my test is not working anymore:

Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.5 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed    to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:jar:2.5: Could not transfer artifact    org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:pom:2.5 from/to central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2): pr-dfs-bank-   00.emea.isn.corpintra.net: Unknown host pr-dfs-bank-00.emea.isn.corpintra.net -> [Help 1]

To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch.
Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.

For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please read the following articles:
[Help 1] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/PluginResolutionException

How can i activate the -e or -X switch using netbeans, i saw many examples with "mvn clean" and so on, but I installed Maven via Netbeans so i dont have it on a folder for command line. I dont get the error message and wanna check out a more detailed log.

I searched my code for this pr-dfs-bank-00.emea.isn.corpintra.net mentioned in the error message, but it is not part of my source code.

My pom.xml, its supposed to be Maven2 and Selenium

I think my pom.xml is not really the way its supposed to be :(

Any help is appreciated :)

Solution 1

most likely you have a mirror or proxy defined in one of the maven's settings.xml files (eg. in ~/.m2/settings.xml) and the definition is wrong? like pointing to a wrong server?

Solution 2

NetBeans 6.9.1 - Mac OS X

To activate the switches you need through Netbeans, go to Preferences --> Miscellaneous --> Maven, then enter the following under Global Execution Options:

--debug --errors

NetBeans - Windows

Add debug and errors to Maven in NetBeans (from version 7.3 at up) as follows:

1. Click Tools.
2. Click Options.
3. Click the Java icon.
4. Click the Maven tab.
5. Append to Global Execution Options: --debug --errors
6. Click OK.

Maven will execute the application with debug and error information included.

Solution 3

In Netbeans 8.0.2 you define this on the project properties->Actions Then select the action where you want to specify the arguments to pass

Solution 4

On netbeans 8.2, Tools > Options > (see below figure)

1. enter "maven" in the search box
2. type "--debug --errors" in the "Global ...".
