I am getting the following error:
Failed to execute goal com.alexnederlof:jasperreports-plugin:2.3:jasper (default) on project : The plugin com.alexnederlof:jasperreports-plugin:2.3 requires Maven version 3.1.0 .

I am using Apache Maven 3.0.5 (Red Hat 3.0.5-17) and my pom.xml has the following:

<plugin> <groupId>com.alexnederlof</groupId> <artifactId>jasperreports-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.3</version> <executions> <execution> <phase>process-classes</phase> <goals> <goal>jasper</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> <configuration> <compiler>net.sf.jasperreports.engine.design.JRJdtCompiler</compiler> <sourceDirectory>src/main/jasperreports</sourceDirectory> <outputDirectory>${project.build.outputDirectory}/jasper</outputDirectory> <outputFileExt>.jasper</outputFileExt> <xmlValidation>true</xmlValidation> <verbose>false</verbose> <numberOfThreads>4</numberOfThreads> <classpathElements> <element>${basedir}/target/classes</element> </classpathElements> </configuration> </plugin>
