Unable to load the mojo 'test' - org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:3.0.0-M1:test

I am building my apps with Maven-3 and i guess after auto-refresh of maven-surefire-plugin to 3.0.0-M1 i am not able to do build and getting the below error.
As a initial step, I have cleared the directory /org/apache/maven in my repository however still i am facing the issue. Can anyone advise. Note - if i am downgrading the surefire plugin to 2.x then I am able to build it.

You can upgrade your maven version to 3.6.0 latest to solve this issue. This can be compatible from 3.3.9 maven version.

Looking at the comments on upgrading maven version, we updated our maven version and was able to overcome the surefire plugin issue using maven 3.3.9. Didn't get any issues.

I found that my NetBeans was using a very old maven (3.0.5) even though I had a brand new maven installed.
On my Mac, I had to go to the menu "Netbeans/Preferences", select the "Maven" tab, and change from "Bundled", browsed to latest, and this got rid of the error above for me.

I had this problem until I discovered that we were not explicitly specifying the version of the surefire plugin. Once I changed our pom.xml file to set the version, it worked.

You can downgrade the version of maven-surefire-plugin to 2.12.4 using the pluginManagement tag. It worked for me.

If you are facing the issue in netbeans IDE you need to change default mavenhome version.follow the below steps
in menu bar tools->Options->click java tab --> under categories --> Execution --> Maven home drop down select manually installed location of the maven

I agree with SomMS's answer
But as an FYI, I found this thread, immediately dismissed that maven version could be the problem the as I just (last week) built this RHEL VM and it was new and shiny
... 15 minutes later I decided to check the maven version to find it was v3.0.5!
Hopefully the next guy doesn't make the same mistake
And if you are wondering how to get the version of whats installed try
mvn --version

I used #SomMS's suggestion and upgraded Maven in order to fix the issue. It worked.
The problem is that, at the time of this writing, the latest version of Maven available on CentOS 7 is 3.0.5 (default repository), which is really old (Feburary 2013). Most other distros have way newer Maven versions available to them.
My only solution was to do a manual download and add path to its binary in PATH env-variable. Downside here is that now rpm/yum are not aware of its existence.

What worked:
a release branch has been created in the remote GitHub project
the artifact with the released version number has been pushed to https://oss.sonatype.org/
the local develop branch has been updated with the next development version
But no commit has been pushed to GitHub. The remote release branch does not have any new commits either.

This looks to me as something went wrong when the plugin wanted to push the commits, but the error message got lost because of a NullPointerException in failedResult!?
Does anyone know what change on the GitHub infrastructure might cause this issue?

Resolving Maven dependencies: Proxy authentication problems

I am working at a company where the local machines are working behind a proxy. The proxy requires no authentication. I have a maven project in IntelliJ which works on my laptop but which I cannot get working on the local machine.
So I have imported the project on my local machine.
Set the proxy settings in IntelliJ
Set the proxy settings in my maven settings.xml as shown in this stackoverflow queston
I have also tried the solution presented in this question
where I add -DproxySet=true -DproxyHost=myproxy.com -DproxyPort=3128 with my proxy settings.
I keep on getting the following errors. In IntelliJ my pom file says:
I have also tried mvn -U clean install as suggested here But then I get the following errorstack:

So according to the error it has failed to authenticate on the proxy, but the proxy needs no authentication. Any idea's how to tackle this issue?

Be sure to declare proxy in maven folder/conf/settings.xml:
<proxy>
<id>optional</id>
<active>true</active>
<protocol>https</protocol>
<username>user</username>
<password></password>
<host>proxyhost</host>
<port>443</port>
<nonProxyHosts>local.net|some.host.com</nonProxyHosts>
</proxy>
Be sure to link the correct settings.xml in Intellij Project clicking on File\Settings\Maven\User Settings File.
Also your exact error is
org.apache.maven.plugin.PluginResolutionException
It seems you need to declare the dependency's pluginrepo in the pom.xml OR the dependency isn't managed anymore from the oldest repo.
Infact the dependency 2.5 is super old, try:
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.maven.plugins/maven-clean-plugin -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-clean-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>
EDIT:
probably due to Proxy settings (Kerberos NTLM proxy maybe) try this in settings.xml:
<username>DOMAINNAME\USERNAME</username>

Try this, hope it will work.
Eclipse -> window -> preferences -> search for proxy -> Network connection
** check the proxy (password should be correct)
Go to C:\Users\****\.m2\settings.xml - check the setting.xml file - verfiy these lines ->
<id>http-proxy</id>
<active>true</active>
<protocol>http</protocol>
<host>***host***</host>
<port>8080</port>
<username>***username***</username>
<password>***password***</password>
<nonProxyHosts>****</nonProxyHosts>

What could be causing this issue?
UPDATE:
I have resolved the issues that caused the warnings above and it did help removing the error. Now I only wonder why having used undeclared dependencies or declared unused dependencies are causing the whole build to fail?
UPDATE2:
Changing the slf4j scope to runtime also solved the problem.

Apparently the used undeclared dependencies warning was the culprit of my problem. After adding the dependency explicitly to the pom file, the issue was resolved.

The reason of this is:
[WARNING] Used undeclared dependencies found:
[WARNING] javax.activation:activation:jar:1.1:test
[WARNING] Unused declared dependencies found:
[WARNING] org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12:jar:1.7.6:compile
you should remove org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12 dependency and add javax.activation:activation dependency.

Same here, got same problem (few times for last few months) and found that fixing all warnings with Used undeclared dependencies/Unused declared dependencies fixes the issue.

Hibernate and SQL Server dependency

I am trying to use Hibernate and SQL Server 2008. I have come across installation of sqljdbc4 into my local Maven Repository. It gives me an error and I have not been able to move forward.
I'm not sure how my local repository should look like (newbie), but the mvn command is giving the error:

Have you triend install command like this?

Maven dependency should look like this:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.sqlserver</groupId>
<artifactId>sqljdbc4</artifactId>
<version>4.0</version>
</dependency>
Another alternative to installing sqljdbc4 to local maven repository is to reference it from local filesystem, but there are limitations - path is relative to particular maven module. In one of projects, i put sqljdbc in references directory that is at the same level as maven modules directory and added it as follows:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.sqlserver</groupId>
<artifactId>sqljdbc4</artifactId>
<version>4.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${project.basedir}/../references/sqljdbc4.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>

I found the answer a while back but just thought it is fair to post it here.
