While trying to compile my project using the Maven Gmaven
plugin, the following error occurred:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.gmaven:gmaven-plugin:1.4:compile (default) on project concorde-web: Execution default of goal org.codehaus.gmaven:gmaven-plugin:1.4:compile failed: An API incompatibility was encountered while executing org.codehaus.gmaven:gmaven-plugin:1.4:compile: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.codehaus.groovy.ast.ModuleNode.getStarImports()Ljava/util/List;
Googling suggests that this is because of multiple groovy versions ending up in my dependency chain. However, after checking the full dependency tree, I find that there is only one dependency in the full tree.
Here's the excerpt of my pom.xml:
<!-- Groovy dependencies -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
<artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId>
<version>1.8.5</version>
</dependency>
<!-- ... snip ... -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.gmaven</groupId>
<artifactId>gmaven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>generateStubs</goal>
<goal>compile</goal>
<goal>generateTestStubs</goal>
<goal>testCompile</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
This is caused by a missing providerSelection
element from the GMaven plugin definition.
The correct GMaven definition looks as follows:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.gmaven</groupId>
<artifactId>gmaven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.4</version>
<configuration>
<providerSelection>1.8</providerSelection>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>generateStubs</goal>
<goal>compile</goal>
<goal>generateTestStubs</goal>
<goal>testCompile</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
