Maven 3 warnings about build.plugins.plugin.version

by

Add a <version> element after the <plugin> <artifactId> in your pom.xml file. Find the following text:

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>

Add the version tag to it:

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.3.2</version>

The warning should be resolved.

Regarding this:

‘build.plugins.plugin.version’ for
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin is missing

Many people have mentioned why the issue is happening, but fail to suggest a fix. All I needed to do was to go into my POM file for my project, and add the <version> tag as shown above.

To discover the version number, one way is to look in Maven’s output after it finishes running. Where you are missing version numbers, Maven will display its default version:

[INFO] --- maven-compiler-plugin:2.3.2:compile (default-compile) @ entities ---

Take that version number (as in the 2.3.2 above) and add it to your POM, as shown.
