Jar is not creating for spring boot

I am adding pluginManagement to avoid

If I remove pluginManagement from pom then Jar is getting created.

My guess is that you just wrapped your <plugins> tag in a <pluginManagement> tag, which does not do what you want. I suggest you read the documentation to understand the relationship between plugin and pluginManagement. See also another post on StackOverflow.
As to your underlying problem: I guess the error you mention is an Eclipse error. It is emitted by the m2e plugin which requires a connector for each maven plugin in your pom.
You can usually come up with a connector (if it is not found on the Eclipse Marketplace) by typing " m2e connector" into your favorite search engine.
In this case you might want to install this: https://github.com/beskow/openjpa-maven-connector

How do I make IntelliJ IDEA automatically extract a dependency to the artifact jar?

Let's say I'm adding the following dependency to my pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.ini4j</groupId>
<artifactId>ini4j</artifactId>
<version>0.5.4</version>
</dependency>
I can now use the Ini class as expected, but if I try to build the jar and run it, it will give me a "noclassdeffounderror" error. When I check the content of the jar, it does not contain org/ini4j.
I was able to fix this by going into File -> Project Structure -> Artifacts
If I want to add another dependency, I'll have to do this every time, which is quite tedious (I didn't need to do this on NetBeans). I then tried to use the following plugins (which I used on NetBeans) to have Maven create a jar with dependencies automatically.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.2</version>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<mainClass>main.Main</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.7.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>shade</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
On NetBeans, this automatically adds all dependencies to the jar file, but it doesn't do anything on IntelliJ IDEA. I have no idea what I'm doing anymore; nothing works. How can I make IntelliJ IDEA automatically extract a dependency into the output root?

Dose your intellij use the same version on maven that your Netbeans uses? if it checks fine, try another plugin for making a fat jar such as the folowing:
<build>
<plugins>
<!-- any other plugins -->
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
</configuration>
</plugin>

maven generated jaxb classes - ClassNotFoundException

I have a maven model project, where I am generating jaxb class by maven command - clean install
and the jaxb classes are generated under target folder and jar file is generating under .m2 repository folder.
Now on my other project adding this jar as a dependency with proper group id and artifactId.
But I am getting ClassNotFoundException and compile error for those generated jaxb classes.
I am updating my question to add more details.
The Pom File of Model Project.

</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
On clean install it generates the class files under.
target
jaxbclasses
pqr
xyz
with the package name - abc.vo.apply.v1
I have another Two Maven project(jar), suppose as, A & B.
Now I can use the jaxb model project as a maven dependency, and it compile fine.
Now My Web project is not a Maven project - it is a Liferay based on Ant.
I manually copy the A, B and The Jaxb Model project in to lib folder.
It compile fines. but I am getting ClassNotFoundException.

I am adding another answer, which I think is more accurate.
In order to make your JAXB project compile, I had to add this dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2_commons</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb2-basics</artifactId>
<version>0.6.5</version>
</dependency>
which obviously won't be automatically part of your classpath for Liferay.
When I ran mvn dependency:list, I got this:
org.jvnet.jaxb2_commons:jaxb2-basics-tools:jar:0.6.4:compile
org.jvnet.jaxb2_commons:jaxb2-basics:jar:0.6.4:compile
commons-lang:commons-lang:jar:2.2:compile
commons-logging:commons-logging:jar:1.1.1:compile
com.google.code.javaparser:javaparser:jar:1.0.8:compile
org.jvnet.jaxb2_commons:jaxb2-basics-runtime:jar:0.6.4:compile
commons-beanutils:commons-beanutils:jar:1.7.0:compile`
which means that you need to put these in the lib directory of your Liferay installation as well.

This is most likely due to the fact that the target directory is never included in the jar file by default. Try configuring the JAXB classes to be generated under (say) target/generated. Then, add this to the build plugin section of the POM:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.9.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>add-java-sources</id>
<goals>
<goal>add-source</goal>

How to override configLocation in maven checkstyle plugin?

I want to override the configLocation option in maven checkstyle plugin. Sample part of POM.xml is :
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>check</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<configLocation>blahblah/checkstyle/checkstyle.xml</configLocation>
<consoleOutput>true</consoleOutput>
</configuration>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.example.blahblah</groupId>
<artifactId>checkstyle-config</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<configuration>
<configLocation>checkstyle.config.xml</configLocation>
<suppressionsLocation>checkstyle.suppressions.xml</suppressionsLocation>
... other configuration ...
</configuration>
</plugin>
As it can be seen above, checkstyle-config is a separate maven project which contains the rules for style check and the config file use for rules is blahblah/checkstyle/checkstyle.xml. If I have to override blahblah/checkstyle/checkstyle.xml and use some other .xml which is stored in current project and not checkstyle-config project, then how can I do that?

You can override the plugin configuration in your module by copying the above plugin configuration part and just overriding the config location. In this you can move the configuration tag to within the execution, so that that configuration is applicable to that execution only.
See below example
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>check</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<configLocation>blahblah/checkstyle/checkstyle.xml</configLocation>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>

Setup Java 6 annotation processing configuration for eclipse compiler with maven

What's the best way to setup the eclipse project compiler configuration for Java 6 annotation processors?
My solution is to setup the org.eclipse.jdt.apt.core.prefs and factorypath files manually. This is a bit cumbersome:
Reference the processor jar in the factorypath file
Configure the eclipse annotation processor output directory (org.eclipse.jdt.apt.genSrcDir property in org.eclipse.jdt.apt.core.prefs)
Add the eclipse annotation processor output directory as source folder
One problem is that eclipse generated sources will be compiled with maven. Only maven clean compile is reliable as it removes the eclipse generated source files. (Eclipse and javac generated source files could be out of sync.)
Is there are better solution to configure maven without eclipse generated source files at the maven source path?
<project>
<properties>
<eclipse.generated.src>${project.build.directory}/eclipse</eclipse.generated.src>
</properties>

</factorypath>
]]> </content>
</file>

</file>
</additionalConfig>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>

Update: You could try using the apt-maven-plugin. It currently provides three goals:
apt-process Executes apt on project sources.
apt:test-process Executes apt on project test sources.
apt:eclipse Generates Eclipse files for apt integration.
You can configure the goals to run as part of your build as follows:
<build>
...
<plugins>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>apt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-alpha-2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>process</goal>
<goal>test-process</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
...
</plugins>
...
</build>
By default the output directory is set to ${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/apt,
There is an open Jira against the compiler plugin to add APT support for Java 6, you can go and vote for it if this is something you want to to see in future versions.

I am using http://code.google.com/p/maven-annotation-plugin/ wich is simpler to configure. You can use it in two ways:
generate sources during compilation (configuration below)
generate sources "by hand" to src/main/generated and keep them on SCM
<plugin>

<target>1.6</target>
<encoding>${project.build.sourceEncoding}</encoding>
<!-- Disable annotation processors during normal compilation -->
<compilerArgument>-proc:none</compilerArgument>
</configuration>
</plugin>

There is a simpler solution in Eclipse Juno (I'm not sure about previous versions). In Preferences / Maven / Annotation Processing there are three modes for annotation processing. It is disabled by default, but I've tested both other options and worked like a charm for me. This way, you don't need to configure APT processing for every project or modify its pom.xml.
