NetBeans: Re-run Maven with the -e switch on / PluginResolutionException - exception

Question

i have no clue about Maven and Netbeans,
i updated my netbeans and now my test is not working anymore:
Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.5 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:jar:2.5: Could not transfer artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:pom:2.5 from/to central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2): pr-dfs-bank- 00.emea.isn.corpintra.net: Unknown host pr-dfs-bank-00.emea.isn.corpintra.net -> [Help 1]
To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch.
Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.
For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please read the following articles:
[Help 1] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/PluginResolutionException
How can i activate the -e or -X switch using netbeans, i saw many examples with "mvn clean" and so on, but I installed Maven via Netbeans so i dont have it on a folder for command line.
I dont get the error message and wanna check out a more detailed log.
I searched my code for this pr-dfs-bank-00.emea.isn.corpintra.net mentioned in the error message, but it is not part of my source code.
My pom.xml, its supposed to be Maven2 and Selenium

I think my pom.xml is not really the way its supposed to be :(
Any help is appreciated :)

Answer 1

NetBeans 6.9.1 - Mac OS X
To activate the switches you need through Netbeans, go to Preferences --> Miscellaneous --> Maven, then enter the following under Global Execution Options:
--debug --errors
NetBeans - Windows
Add debug and errors to Maven in NetBeans (from version 7.3 at up) as follows:
Click Tools.
Click Options.
Click the Java icon.
Click the Maven tab.
Append to Global Execution Options: --debug --errors
Click OK.
Maven will execute the application with debug and error information included.

Answer 2

most likely you have a mirror or proxy defined in one of the maven's settings.xml files (eg. in ~/.m2/settings.xml) and the definition is wrong? like pointing to a wrong server?

Answer 3

In Netbeans 8.0.2 you define this on the project properties->Actions
Then select the action where you want to specify the arguments to pass

Answer 4

On netbeans 8.2,
Tools > Options > (see below figure)
enter "maven" in the search box
type "--debug --errors" in the "Global ...".
