How to run a snapshot plugin

When I attempt to run below maven plugin using this command :

com.wordpress.pomfromjarmavenplugin:generate:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT:generatepom

I get this error :

Downloading: https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/com/wordpress/pomfromjarmavenplugin/generate/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/generate-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.pom [WARNING] The POM for com.wordpress.pomfromjarmavenplugin:generate:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT is missing, no dependency information available [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 1.862s [INFO] Finished at: Fri Nov 09 11:15:47 GMT 2012 [INFO] Final Memory: 5M/15M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] Plugin com.wordpress.pomfromjarmavenplugin:generate:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to read artifact descriptor for com.wordpress.pomfromjarmavenplugin:generate:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact com.wordpress.pomfromjarmavenplugin:generate:pom:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT in apache.snapshots (https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/) -> [Help 1] [ERROR] [ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch.

Problem seems to be that all of the pom files have timestamps associated with them : https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/com/wordpress/pomfromjarmavenplugin/generate/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/

How can I run this plugin ? Do I need to wait until the plugin is released or somehow instruct maven to run the latest version of the snapshot ?

Add these lines to your pom:

<pluginRepositories>
    <pluginRepository>
        <id>oss.sonatype</id>
        <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
    </pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>

Then your command should work:

mvn com.wordpress.pomfromjarmavenplugin:generate:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT:generatepom

Or add these lines to your pom:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>com.wordpress.pomfromjarmavenplugin</groupId>
            <artifactId>generate</artifactId>
            <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

And then issue:
