<version>1.6-SNAPSHOT>/version>

this is not valid XML, it must be

<version>1.6-SNAPSHOT</version>

Thanks ! I found this later when I posted the question. However, I am getting exception here, **** as, ---> Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.codehaus.mojo:keytool-maven-plugin: 1.6-SNAPSHOT>:generateKeyPair (execution: default, phase: generate-resources) – Hitesh Wadekar Sep 23 '15 at 20:17
Is the plugin between `` tags? It shouldn't. – Robert Scholte Sep 23 '15 at 20:34
Actually I referred this example from here, http://www.mojohaus.org/keytool/keytool-maven-plugin/usage.html. Many references suggest that use pluginmanagement, but still I am unclear about how to do it – Hitesh Wadekar Sep 23 '15 at 20:44
Now I can see where the xml-tag mistake is coming from. Could you create an issue for it? Consider pluginManagement as predefined/shared configuration. If you the plugin to be part of the build-lifecycle, you *must* add it explicitly as a plugin (except those plugins which are already part of the lifecycle, like maven-install-plugin). – Robert Scholte Sep 23 '15 at 21:11
Thanks for clarification,. Could you please refer me that how can I convert those keytool plugin examples to be used with PluginManagement and executor ? – Hitesh Wadekar Sep 23 '15 at 21:41
