I am trying to use onejar-maven-plugin in my pom.xml:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.dstovall</groupId>
<artifactId>onejar-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.4.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<configuration>
<mainClass>com.exmaple.myproj.MpPort_MpSoapPort_Client</mainClass>
<onejarVersion>0.97</onejarVersion>
<attachToBuild>true</attachToBuild>
<classifier>onejar</classifier>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>one-jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>onejar-maven-plugin.googlecode.com</id>
<url>http://onejar-maven-plugin.googlecode.com/svn/mavenrepo</url>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
but for some reason, attempting to build it via the Eclipse Maven plugin (Maven install) results in BUILD ERROR:

So I manually downloaded onejar-maven-plugin.jar and install it through the command line and I seem to be getting a similar error:

My understanding is that because we have a Nexus mirror which doesn't contain that particular artifact, things get confused.
So I tried following the instructions on How to force Sonatype Nexus Regenerate / Reindex its Metadata but the “Browse Index” tab has no such context menu! on our Sonatype Nexus.
I read here that "Nexus only caches artifacts that clients have requested. So you need to set up your project poms to request the proper versions". But that's exactly what I have been doing -- without any change in the outcome.
How do I get out of this "chicken & egg" situation and get this onejar-maven-plugin ver. 1.4.4 into my Nexus mirror?
(Alternatively, how do I get it into my local .m2 cache?)
