Maven Cargo Plugin Multiple Executions: Username and Password are Mandatory

Question

I am trying to use the Cargo plugin to deploy to a simple Tomcat clustered environment, with two Tomcat nodes:

• tomcat1 (192.168.10.21)
• tomcat2 (192.168.10.22)

When attempting to run mvn cargo:deploy I get the following error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven3-plugin:1.9.4:deploy
 (default-cli) on project sample: Execution default-cli of goal 
org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven3-plugin:1.9.4:deploy failed: The 
[cargo.remote.username] and [cargo.remote.password] properties are 
mandatory and need to be defined in your configuration. -> [Help 1]

I have specified the username and password in both executions with no luck. The <build> section of my pom.xml is below. Can anyone assist?

Edit: Provided entire POM.xml instead of just build section.

Answer 1

I guess you need to define them in the <properties> section of your POM, not inside the configuration of the plugin.
