Maven- No plugin found for prefix 'spring-boot' in the current project and in the plugin groups

I am trying to build a springboot project I built with Spring Tools Suite. I get the following error when I execute $mvn spring-boot:run

Heres my pom.xml plugin

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <arguments>
                        <argument>--spring.profiles.active=dev</argument>
                    </arguments>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

I tried the jhipster plugin above and no change in the error.

If you don't want to use

<parent>
  <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
  <version>(...)</version>
</parent>

as the parent POM, you may use

mvn org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin:run

instead.

In my case I got this error after updating my spring boot in pom.xml and running it in Eclipse.

The source of the error is that the run configuration was set to offline, thus it couldn't download plugins on run.

In my case, my maven variable environment was M2_HOME, so I've changed to MAVEN_HOME and worked.

Instead of using the full plugin name (with groupId) like described in Bartosz's answer, you could add

<pluginGroups>
    <pluginGroup>org.springframework.boot</pluginGroup>
</pluginGroups>

to your .m2/settings.xml.

Typos are a possible reason for this error.

Be sure to check you wrote spring-boot and not e.g. springboot or sprint-boot or springbok or whatever.

Also check the ordering : use spring-boot:run and not run:spring-boot.

Use mvn spring-boot:run. No mvn sprint-boot:run Error Writing.

Make sure pom.xml exist in the directory, when using the mvn spring-boot:run command. No need to add any thing in the pom.xml file.

You should run the $ mvn spring-boot:run from the folder where your pom.xml file is located and refer to this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/33602837/4918021

If you are running the

mvn spring-boot:run

from the command line, make sure you are in the directory that contains the pom.xml file. Otherwise, you will run into the No plugin found for prefix 'spring-boot' in the current project and in the plugin groups error.

If you are using Spring Boot for application, forgetting to add 

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.7.RELEASE</version>
 </parent>

can cause this issue, as well as missing these lines 

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>spring-releases</id>
        <url>https://repo.spring.io/libs-release</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>
<pluginRepositories>
    <pluginRepository>
        <id>spring-releases</id>
        <url>https://repo.spring.io/libs-release</url>
    </pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>

Adding spring-boot-maven-plugin in the build resolved it in my case

<build>
    <finalName>mysample-web</finalName>
    <plugins>
    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
                <artifactId>springloaded</artifactId>
                <version>1.2.1.RELEASE</version>
            </dependency>
        </dependencies>
    </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

You might want to add the following to your pom and try compiling

   <repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>spring-snapshots</id>
            <url>http://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot</url>
            <snapshots>
                <enabled>true</enabled>
            </snapshots>
        </repository>
    </repositories>
    <pluginRepositories>
        <pluginRepository>
            <id>spring-snapshots</id>
            <url>http://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot</url>
            <snapshots>
                <enabled>true</enabled>
            </snapshots>
        </pluginRepository>
    </pluginRepositories>
