Why Intellij Idea cannot generate a maven plugin?

Question

In this picture, I set up a plugin tag in pom.xml in order to use the mybatis-generator-maven-plugin but unfortunately there isn't a plugin in maven projects on the right side. I wanna know what's the problem?

Answer 1

The mybatis-generator <plugin/> should be put outside the <pluginManagement/>.

Here's the reference question: Maven: What is pluginManagement?
