I am walking through the Cumulocity IoT Guides and I decided to run the "Hello World" example, which can be found here: http://cumulocity.com/guides/device-sdk/java#hello-world-basic
I went through all the steps and a problem occurred at the last step - the execution of the example. I got this error from maven:
[ERROR] Unknown lifecycle phase ".mainClass=c8y.example.App". You must specify a valid lifecycle phase or a goal in the format : or :[:]:. Available lifecycle phases are: validate, initialize, generate-sources, process-sources, generate-resources, process-resources, compile, process-classes, generate-test-sources, process-test-sources, generate-test-resources, process-test-resources, test-compile, process-test-classes, test, prepare-package, package, pre-integration-test, integration-test, post-integration-test, verify, install, deploy, pre-clean, clean, post-clean, pre-site, site, post-site, site-deploy. -> [Help 1]
Currently the environment is : jdk1.7.0_80
maven3.1.1 (as in the example)
