I get an error when I want to run any example through mvn verify

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.activemq:artemis-maven-plugin:2.18.0-SNAPSHOT:create (create) on project security: Couldn't find artemis.home -> [Help 1]
I tried to specify the path to the directory with artemis at startup, but it does not help mvn verify -Dartemis.home="D:\Documents\apache-artemis-2.17.0"
How to fix this error?
It appears you're running the example directly from the project source since it reports 2.18.0-SNAPSHOT. If that's the case then you should do what the ERROR message indicates:
Use the binary distribution or build the distribution before running the examples
You can get a snapshot binary distribution here or you can build the distribution from the source using mvn install -Prelease -DskipTests.
If you must point the example at a different home directory you can do so using the activemq.basedir system property, e.g.:
mvn verify -Dactivemq.basedir="D:\Documents\apache-artemis-2.17.0"
Or you can change the activemq.basedir property defined in the example's pom.xml.
