Detected Maven Version: 3.0.5 is not in the allowed range 3.2

Question

I am working with Maven and I am getting errors with compiling and building my project. It is the jpmml-project to evaluate some pmml file. Now I got this error:

Rule 0: org.apache.maven.plugins.enforcer.RequireMavenVersion failed with message: Detected Maven Version: 3.0.5 is not in the allowed range 3.2.

Please help! I do not have too much experience with Java and Maven.

Type mvn -version from a command prompt. What version of Maven are you running? – Vested

This is because of an old maven-version. See this answer: Codehouse shutdown – Acotyledon

Answer 1

Your pom.xml contains a plugin called enforcer, that can define a required maven version. You need to install the mentioned maven version (3.2.*) and use it to compile the project.

Answer 2

In case you can't or don't want to update Maven due to some reason but urgently need the build results there is also a way to bypass this check using the command line option:

-Denforcer.skip=true

It worked for me for Maven 3.0.4 and maven-enforcer-plugin 3.0.0-M1. Since you did not mention in your question if you need just to complete the build or complete it making the enforcer stage fixed, I propose this workaround as an answer as well.

Very handy when you're in a rush just for testing, thanks. – Anopheles

Saved my time, thank you. I work on couple projects that have different Maven and Java setup, and this option saved me from switching regularly between maven version from environment variables, Very useful command – Heedless

Answer 3

In intelliJ 2016.1.2 on Ubuntu 16.04:

I had installed the latest with: sudo apt-get install maven

Then just dig down to where IntelliJ hides which maven it will use:

File > 
Settings > 
Build, Execution, Deployment >
Build Tools >
Maven >
Maven_home directory (I didn't have this env variable set, so you can choose):

-Bundled (Maven 2)
-Bundled (Maven 3) (was the 3.0.5 and it was chosen)
-/usr/share/maven <--- where the newly downloaded maven lives (3.3.9)

I could have probably saved a little time and made a /etc/profile.d/maven.sh file and defined:

export MAVEN_HOME=/usr/share/maven after installing the latest with apt...

Answer 4

The error means that your maven version is too old, you should upgrade your maven version to be grater than 3.2

The maven download link

http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi

then clean & compile

Actually, because this is an enforcer error, you need to use specifically 3.2, as newer versions won't pass the rule either. – Caulfield

Works fine with Maven 3.3.3. Is my computer broken or something? – Mikol

Answer 5

Go to Window > Preferences > Maven > Installations

Under Installation you will notice that the embedded version is 3.0.5

Add a new installation for 3.2

• Click Add
• Navigate to your maven 3.2 installation

Answer 6

• Install latest version of Maven from http://maven.apache.org

• If you are using Netbean IDE then go to Tools -> Options -> Java -> Maven and just configure the installation path as bellow

• Open your maven project in Netbeans and build it with dependencies.

Answer 7

Whoever is maintaining this project should think about using an enforcer rule like this. Usually you say you need at least Maven 3.1.1 or higher but never bind to a fixed version. Apart from that Version 3.2 of Maven does not exist...3.2.1 is first 3.2.X release.

Faucet

Maven Enforcer Plugin has its own version range syntax, which is more relaxed than the "standard" version range syntax. So, 3.2 is perfectly valid. See maven.apache.org/enforcer/enforcer-rules/… – Mikol

Based on the error message it says something different. – Faucet

Please elaborate. Over here, 3.0 is less than 3.2, which is the minimal supported version – Mikol
