This is when following along the tutorial and trying to Run As.. > Maven install

I just can’t get it to work. It should be picking it up from the config file. So I tried adding an environment variable, adding something to settings.xml (although tbh I didn’t know what name to give it). Nothing worked, so I just disabled running tests for the install Run Configuration. At least I have my jar now.

No idea what’g going on!

I have been a software developer since 2004 and have worked in many different languages. I started off using scripting languages on the web and transitioned into Enterprise Java development. I have worked as a Team Leader and independent contractor in this capacity. I then decided to take a break, before changing direction to create apps for mobile devices. I changed languages and focused more on the business and design side of things for a while. However, I'm getting pretty jaded by the new and shiny, so I am going back to what I know best and retraining in all the new Java ways and really enjoying the process. My Java 8 certification was the start, this blog will tell the rest of the story.
