Maven Error while generating sources for Hadoop

Question

Am facing error below while generating sources for Hadoop Trunk. The error states it cannot find Plugin org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-maven-plugins:3.0.0-SNAPSHOT. I tried to use 2.3.0 of hadoop-maven-plugins in pom to solve the problem. Below is the error.

Am solving this by manually going into project pom.xml in the error and including the plugin version for hadoop-maven-plugins to 2.3.0 in each hadoop-* project.

Can I do this to all the projects to use this version ?

Is there a better way to solve this problem ?

P.S: Why am trying to generate sources is Am facing similar problem mentioned in https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/jenkinsci-dev/9S_Dgv2pnkM/qAkpifegDR8J while loading maven project into eclipse.

EDIT1 : Fixed temporarily by manually changing the following files in trunk(http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/common/trunk/).

./hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/pom.xml
./hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/pom.xml
./hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/contrib/bkjournal/pom.xml
./hadoop-yarn-project/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-common/pom.xml
./hadoop-yarn-project/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-server/hadoop-yarn-server-common/pom.xml
./hadoop-yarn-project/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-server/hadoop-yarn-server-nodemanager/pom.xml
./hadoop-mapreduce-project/hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-common/pom.xml
./hadoop-mapreduce-project/hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-hs/pom.xml

Answer 1

As per BUILDING.txt in the trunk, execute mvn install to generate the snapshot version of hadoop-maven-plugins.

2 commands from trunk solved the problem :

$ cd hadoop-maven-plugins
$ mvn install
