Maven RPM Plugin fails to find rpm command in intellij

Question

I have a module I am trying to package as an RPM using Maven RPM plugin. When I run mvn package from the command line, it generates the rpm as expected. When I try to run the package phase from within Intellij, it seems unable to find the rpm command:

[WARNING] /bin/sh: rpm: command not found

...followed later by:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:rpm-maven-plugin:2.1-alpha-1:rpm (default-rpm) on project ve_hive_client: RPM query for default vendor returned: '127' executing '/bin/sh -c rpm -E '%{_host_vendor}'' -> [Help 1]

My hunch is that my rpm installation (/usr/local/bin/rpm) isn't available in Intellij's PATH. Any idea how to add it?

Answer 1

had the same problem on ubuntu. i just installed the rpm program and the PATH then had rpm then.

/usr/bin/rpm

Maven did not complain then
