What is this Maven error ? “Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration…)”

问题

"Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: com.soebes.maven.plugins:iterator-maven-plugin: 0.4:iterator (execution: javascript-dependencies_unpack-dependencies, phase: initialize)"

Trying to build Pentaho projects at https://github.com/pentaho. None of them will build except maven-parent-poms at https://github.com/pentaho/maven-parent-poms. Almost every other project throws this error in the corresponding .pom file. Refer to the screen snip, below, for the location of the error.

I did override the Eclipse Maven extension with the current version of Maven from Apache. Didn't change anything.

The problem is related to Eclipse M2E where you need to tell Eclipse that it should for example ignore the plugin etc.

<pluginManagement>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
     <groupId>org.eclipse.m2e</groupId>
     <artifactId>lifecycle-mapping</artifactId>
     <version>1.0.0</version>
     <configuration>
       <lifecycleMappingMetadata>
         <pluginExecutions>
           <pluginExecution>
             <pluginExecutionFilter>
               <groupId>some-group-id</groupId>
               <artifactId>some-artifact-id</artifactId>
               <versionRange>[1.0.0,)</versionRange>
               <goals>
                 <goal>some-goal</goal>
               </goals>
             </pluginExecutionFilter>
             <action>
               <ignore/>
             </action>
           </pluginExecution>
         </pluginExecutions>
       </lifecycleMappingMetadata>
     </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</pluginManagement>

This is the old way of doing this. There is newer way since 1.7 of m2e:

You can include the ignore etc. directly into the configuration of the execution:

<?m2e ignore?> 
<?m2e execute?>
<?m2e execute onConfiguration?> 
<?m2e execute onIncremental?> 
<?m2e execute onConfiguration,onIncremental?> 
<?m2e configurator configuratorId?> 

For example:

  <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>flatten-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0</version>
        <configuration>
          <updatePomFile>true</updatePomFile>
        </configuration>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <?m2e ignore?>
            <id>flatten</id>
            <phase>process-resources</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>flatten</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
          <execution>
            <?m2e ignore?>
            <id>flatten.clean</id>
            <phase>clean</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>clean</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
