Issue
I'm new to Maven and cannot seem to get a generate goal to run. I'm using Maven from within Eclipse.
Here is the POM.XML:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

I want the sablecc-maven-plugin to run. This plugin invokes SableCC, which is YAPG (yet another parser generator), that reads in a grammar file and generates source code in the directories specified within the <configuration> element. It appears that the plugin never ran. After doing a Maven generate-sources from Exclipse, the SableCC generated source files were still very old (from 2018), so I know SableCC didn't run. Also, there's nothing in Maven debug output indicating it even attempted to run the plugin. Here is that output:

What am I doing wrong?
Solution
You must move the definition from <pluginManagement> to <plugins>. Then, when Eclipse complains about "Plugin execution not covered..." and gives you options, just choose "ignore".
