Maven site deploy issue


I am using the maven site-deploy command. I am using maven 2.2.1 with jdk 6.

I get the following error:

org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Wagon protocol '' doesn't support directory copying

The pom.xml has the following distribution Management section:

    <site>
        <id>app123</id>
        <url>/app/il3/apache-tomcat-7.0.57/webapps/build/app123</url>
    </site>

Please advise.

Thanks, B


Solution

  • I'm pretty sure you're just having trouble to configure your maven <site> tag. at the URL from the official documentation it states:
