Unresolveable build extension: Plugin com.atlassian.maven.plugins:confluence-maven-plugin:8.9.0
Asked by Arikrishnan:

Hey,

I want to develop prolaborate Confluence macro but can t get starting. My problem is that the pom.xml file always shows this error:

Project build error: Unresolveable build extension: Plugin com.atlassian.maven.plugins:confluence-maven-plugin:8.9.0 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: com.atlassian.maven.plugins:confluence-maven-plugin:jar:8.9.0 was not found in <https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2> during a previous attempt. This failure was cached in the local repository and resolution is not reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced

\<!-- profiles  
\| This is a list of profiles which can be activated in a variety of ways, and which can modify  
\| the build process. Profiles provided in the settings.xml are intended to provide local machine-  
\| specific paths and repository locations which allow the build to work in the local environment.  
\|  
\| For example, if you have an integration testing plugin - like cactus - that needs to know where  
\| your Tomcat instance is installed, you can provide a variable here such that the variable is  
\| dereferenced during the build process to configure the cactus plugin.  
\|  
\| As noted above, profiles can be activated in a variety of ways. One way - the activeProfiles  
\| section of this document (settings.xml) - will be discussed later. Another way essentially  
\| relies on the detection of a system property, either matching a particular value for the property,  
\| or merely testing its existence. Profiles can also be activated by JDK version prefix, where a  
\| value of '1.4' might activate a profile when the build is executed on a JDK version of '1.4.2_07'.  
\| Finally, the list of active profiles can be specified directly from the command line.  
\|  
\| NOTE: For profiles defined in the settings.xml, you are restricted to specifying only artifact  
\| repositories, plugin repositories, and free-form properties to be used as configuration  
\| variables for plugins in the POM.  
\|  
\|--\>  
\<profiles\>  
\<!-- profile  
\| Specifies a set of introductions to the build process, to be activated using one or more of the  
\| mechanisms described above. For inheritance purposes, and to activate profiles via \<activatedProfiles/\>  
\| or the command line, profiles have to have an ID that is unique.  
\|  
\| An encouraged best practice for profile identification is to use a consistent naming convention  
\| for profiles, such as 'env-dev', 'env-test', 'env-production', 'user-jdcasey', 'user-brett', etc.  
\| This will make it more intuitive to understand what the set of introduced profiles is attempting  
\| to accomplish, particularly when you only have a list of profile id's for debug.  
\|  
\| This profile example uses the JDK version to trigger activation, and provides a JDK-specific repo.  
\<profile\>  
\<id\>jdk-1.4\</id\>  
\<activation\>  
\<jdk\>1.4\</jdk\>

\<layout\>default\</layout\>  
\<snapshotPolicy\>always\</snapshotPolicy\>

\</repositories\>  
\</profile\>  
--\>  
\<!--  
\| Here is another profile, activated by the system property 'target-env' with a value of 'dev',  
\| which provides a specific path to the Tomcat instance. To use this, your plugin configuration  
\| might hypothetically look like:

There is a similar case here

<https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/plugin-com-atlassian-maven-plugins8-0-2-or-one-of-its-dependencies-could-not-be-resolved/30751>

Could you take a look at the solution that helped there and check if it helps you?
