No plugin found for prefix 'wls' in the current project

Even though the wls-maven-plugin is successfully installed, referring the goal via prefix might throw the above error.

mvn wls:wlst

Here wls is the prefix.

In such cases the following approach can be attempted

use the command in following format

mvn groupId:pluginname:goalname

For eg: To invoke the wlst goal on wls-maven-plugin use the following format

mvn com.oracle.weblogic:wls-maven-plugin:wlst
