Now let's install the plugin into our local mavenSW repository so that we can use it. I'll perform a "mvn clean install" on the "maven-howdy-plugin" project.

The console output is shown here.

Now, we can call the goal from any maven project. I'll go to the maven-howdy-plugin project itself and then call it via "mvn com.maventest:maven-howdy-plugin:howdy-world"..

As you can see from the output, the howdy-world goal is executed successfully. The console output from executing the goal is also included here:
