I am a Mule newbie and struggling to get the Anypoint Studio to work with Maven.
I used the mule-maven plugin to create a multi-module project and added my code to the apps sub-project. The project builds under maven and produces a zip file under the domain-bundle/target directory. The contents of the zip file looks reasonable.
When I tried to run the project (right click project/run as/Mule application with Maven) the project gets built by maven and then I get the following

As can be see the error is related to the running the studio plugin - which is available in my maven repository.
Sometimes it fails in another way. The maven build appears to work correctly but Eclipse then displays the following error message
Unable to copy project zip file to the embedded Mule instance.
Project: [Mule Project] Name: bbc-demo - Domain: default
Source 'AnypointStudio\workspace_anypoint\bbc-demo\target\bbc-demo-1-SNAPSHOT.zip'
does not exist
This is not un-surprising as the zip file it should be running is actually in 'workspace_anypoint\bbc-demo\ domain-bundle \target' directory with the name bbc-demo-domain-1-SNAPSHOT.zip
