Maven build failing in Flex PMD Report report generation phase

I'm getting the following error while executing the goal com.adobe.ac:flex-pmd-maven-plugin:1.2:report (run-flexpmd-main) in one of the sub modules of our project.

We are using the same set of rules for all the other sub projects and there report is getting generated successfully. Only in one particular project it is throwing error.And we haven't made any changes in the flexpmd ruleset recently. This issue started when we migrated our dependencies to a new artifactory and was testing build after migration. I also tried setting failonError as false, but still it is throwing this error. Can anyone please help us to debug this error?

While installing maven into my local repo, it missed out the plugin.xml inside jar. Not sure how though.But I replaced the jar with the actual one and it works. Now I have to check how to install the jar in maven with plugin.xml

How to run tests using sure-fire on a POM package?

My type of my project is a POM. I am using maven as my building tool. Currently the project just transfers things around but there is a junit test that I would like to execute. After researching, I came to the realisation that sure-fire doesn't necessarily perform well when the package type is a pom as opposed to a jar. I have fiddled around with the pom and can now run the tests using the following command: mvn clean compiler:testCompile surefire:test but I had to do a major botch fix to my test to make it run using that command. When I run mvn clean install, it doesn't run and I seem to get the following error:
[ERROR] Could not find goal 'surefire:test' in plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.19.1 among available goals help, test -> [Help 1]
And this is the stacktrace:

I have searched github to see how others use Maven Wagon, and I cannot see anything wrong with how I am using it.

Your configuration of the wagon-maven-plugin is incorrect: <fromFile> need to be a reference to a file and not a directory. Also, there is no <includes> tag, as per the documentation.
If you reference the generated Maven artifact (${project.build.finalName}.war), you need to make sure the upload-single goal is executed after package phase (deploy, for example, would be appropriate). In your configuration, you have bound the upload-single goal to phase "upload", which does not exist.
This would be the final configuration :
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.wagon</groupId>
<artifactId>wagon-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${maven.wagon.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>upload-war-to-server</id>

<fromFile>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.war</fromFile>
<url>scp://localhost:2221/opt/jboss/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/standalone/deployments</url>
</configuration>

I've tried changing the version from 0.6.3 to 0.7.2 and every version in between. As far as I can tell this looks like valid config for any of those versions above 0.6.3 and was even originally taken from their own examples found at the below link (I just removed everything but the check goal):

What am i doing wrong?

This is because you launch maven with the explicit goal:
mvn ... jacoco:check
Running like this, the <configuration> section inside <execution> is not read; to make it work, use the default maven phase to which the jacoco:check goal is bound, which is verify
mvn clean verify
Or, alternatively, (but I cannot try this myself right now and I am not 100% sure), try using a default- prefix in the executions ids, like:
<execution>
<id>default-jacoco-check</id>
<goals>
<goal>check</goal>
</goals>
[...]
</execution>

I had the same issue. To resolve it I added the phase tag into the coverage-check execution:
<id>coverage-check</id>
<phase>test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>check</goal>
</goals>
And now the coverage-check executes every time I run "mvn clean package" command.
