[macker-user] Maven and macker plugin working??

[copernic J. <cop...@gm...>]

Hi all,
I am looking for the maven-macker-plugin, if there is one of course!
Indeed, the project website seems to say that there are no version available
yet: http://maven-plugins.sourceforge.net/maven-macker-plugin/downloads.html
I have been googling the web for a few hour now but I only found this
version on repo1:
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/maven-plugins/maven-macker-plugin/
Unfortunatly I can't figure out how to use it in my project pom.xml. When I
try this in my pom.xml I get the following error:

The pom.xml:

<project>
 ....
<build>
   <plugins>
         ....

                <plugin>
                         <groupId>maven-plugins</groupId>
                         <artifactId>maven-macker-plugin</artifactId>
                        <version>0.4.2</version>

                           <executions>
                                <execution>
                                    <goals>
                                        <goal>macker</goal>
                                    </goals>
                                </execution>
                            </executions>
                    </plugin>
         ....
 </plugins>
</build>
....
</project>


The error trace:

It seems that there might be a problem with a descriptor file but how can i
resolve that?
