SOLVED: Cannot start the Confluence SDK installation due to Build error

[vishnu soman]

Hi,

I am trying to have the Confluence SDK instaled by following the instructions and i seemed to have got stuck at the most error prone location i.e. running the command.

atlas-mvn eclipse:add-maven-repo -Declipse.workspace="C:\Pluginsdk"

I have seached a lot and still the command or a work around for the same does not yield a Build success.

I am using windows 7.

This is the error when i use the above written atlas-mvn line in CMD

C:\Pluginsdk>atlas-mvn eclipse:add-maven-repo -Declipse.workspace="C:\Pluginsdk"

When i used the workaround i.e. running the mvn batch file from apache-maven\bin\mvn.bat

I got this

You must specify at least one goal or lifecycle phase to perform build steps.
The following list illustrates some commonly used build commands:

  mvn clean
    Deletes any build output (e.g. class files or JARs).
  mvn test
    Runs the unit tests for the project.
  mvn install
    Copies the project artifacts into your local repository.
  mvn deploy
    Copies the project artifacts into the remote repository.
  mvn site
    Creates project documentation (e.g. reports or Javadoc).

Please see
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html
for a complete description of available lifecycle phases.

Use "mvn --help" to show general usage information about Maven's command line.

Press any key to continue . . .

I want to create my own plugin. I am using Eclipse . But i have stumbled at the very first step.

Would really like to have your guidance.

Thanks

I guess there is a need to be extremely intuitive here :)

the answer is running the command

mvn eclipse:add-maven-repo -Declipse.workspace="C:\Pluginsdk"

from the directory structure...C:\Atlassian\atlassian-plugin-sdk-3.9.2\apache-maven\bin
