Could not find goal '' in plugin org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin:1.1.4.RELEASE among available goals repackage

Question

I ran a spring application in eclipse yesterday (I have Windows 7). I ran it today through the command prompt using the command: mvn spring-boot: run

This time it didn't work and I got the message:

Could not find goal '' in plugin org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin:1.1.4.RELEASE among available goals repackage

Since I have not changed the code I don't know why it doesn't work and what I should I do to run it again. I have also tried an older project which doesn't run either and which gets the same error message.

Answer 1

change

mvn spring-boot: run

to

mvn spring-boot:run

note: remove space after :
