Maven error with the vCO Plugin SDK wizard

[ivankrolo]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a vCO plugin and I've used the vCO Plugin SDK to make a test Spring + Maven project (see screenshot for setup in Eclipse). 

I'm having an issue with Maven unable to find the "com.vmware.o11n.mojo.pkg:maven-o11n-package-plugin:jar:5.5.0-1620" dependency.

c:\ws-other\o11n-testplugin>mvn clean package -U

Hi,

The problem is that the version 5.5.0-1620 is not valid. I just tried with: vCenter Orchestrator Plug-in SDK for vSphere 5.5 - VMware Developer Center

and it works. Can you download the SDK from the link and try again?

Hi Denitsa,

I had figured it out but forgot to post back here.  It looks like the jar that's copied over as part of the Ant plugin in the master pom.xml is copying version 5.5.0-1947 instead of -1620, but the generated pom.xml for -package refers to version 1620.

And it looks like the -package module only gets created when specifying the Inventory in the wizard, so perhaps you were missing that?
