I am trying to use the solution described here to solve the annoying \"Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.codehaus.mojo:build-helper-maven-plugin:1
You can use this dummy plugin:
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=org.eclipse.m2e -DartifactId=lifecycle-mapping -Dversion=1.0.0 -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-mojo
After generating the project install/deploy it.
