I have a dependency added as an aggregate into my pom:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.xmlgraphics</groupId>
<artifactId>batik-all</artifactId>
<version>1.14</version>
</dependency>
Complilation runs fine without any issues, but during startup there are multiple issues, which can be grouped into two groups:
Caused by: java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: D:.m2\repository\org\apache\xmlgraphics\batik-ttf2svg\1.14\lib\batik-ttf2svg-1.14.jar
There is no 'lib' folder in the real path
Failed to scan [file:/D:/.m2/repository/org/apache/xmlgraphics/batik-ttf2svg/1.14/lib/batik-constants-1.14.jar] from classloader hierarchy (main)
App tries to scan a different jar from the artifact folder. My guess is that this 'wrong' artifact is a dependency, which is looked up in the incorrect folder.
I tried injecting dependencies directly with aggregate jar, but overall the errors are the same. The whole project setup is quite complicated, there might be some configuration that messes this up, but I cannot find it.
What can be the reason behind it and what is the possible fix?
Thanks!
This path could be hard coded in your project, find and remove
D:.m2\repository\org\apache\xmlgraphics\batik-ttf2svg\1.14\lib\batik-ttf2svg-1.14.jar
try to rename or delete xmlgraphics folder so than maven can download the dependencies once again, then clean and build your project
mvn clean install

So I have a library which I want to use, and I have it inside of a folder called "lib",
I'm working in maven so I put this in my pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.worldborder</groupId>
<artifactId>worldborder</artifactId>
<scope>system</scope>
<version>1.0</version>
<systemPath>${basedir}/src/lib/WorldBorder.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
Doing this allows me to write code which uses said library, but when I build the jar it gives me a no class def found error when using, when I use mvn clean install, I do get a warning when I build,
Some problems were encountered while building the effective model for me.acidviper:ViperUHC:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT
'dependencies.dependency.systemPath' for org.worldborder:worldborder:jar should not point at files within the project directory, ${basedir}/src/lib/WorldBorder.jar will be unresolvable by dependent projects # line 85, column 25
It is highly recommended to fix these problems because they threaten the stability of your build.
For this reason, future Maven versions might no longer support building such malformed projects.
I'm a complete noob when it comes to maven, so I don't understand how to fix this error. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Hi I faced the same issue. To solve that I installed that jar directly into my local .m2 repository.
mvn install:install-file
-Dfile=/path/to/jar
-DgroupId=org.worldborder
-DartifactId=worldborder
-Dversion=1.0.0
-Dpackaging=jar
then if you are using spring boot you can use plugin like spring-boot-maven-plugin. It creates a complete jar for your application with all of it's dependencies
I have maven projet with this architecture:
++parent-project
+module-a
+module-b
module-b is a web application. it will be run on Jboss AS 7.1.1. I'm using netbeans IDE.
Now module-b depend on module-a. this is a porm section of module-b:
<dependency>
<groupId>groupid</groupId>
<artifactId>module-a</artifactId>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
When i build the war file of module-b, module-a is not present to lib folder ( in war file. i open it with archive explorer ). therefore JBoss return ClassNotFoundException.
I'm tried differends scope ( compile , provided , runtime , test ). But nothing.
Please how can i solve this.
First of all, I think you should try to see how does it work in "pure" maven, without the IDE at all (NetBeans). So my answer will be based only on maven knowledge:
A couple of facts:
Module b has to have the following in pom: <packaging>war</packaging> This will instruct maven that you really want to get a war from this module.
When packaging WAR is specified in some pom, maven will take all the dependencies defined in this pom and will put them into the WEB-INF/lib folder of the war. Automatically. Of course, you can customize the output, but its more advanced stuff (see Maven WAR plugin if required)
All the dependencies have to be defined with group id, artifact id, and version at least. So make sure that you have the dependency on module a with version. There is no need to fiddle with scopes in this case. The default scope (if you don't specify a scope at all) is 'compile' which is fine.
Go to the directory of module b and from within the directory type: mvn dependency:tree. Once its done, please carefully observe the output, especially make sure that module a is listed (with a correct version) in a tree.
Sometime to make sure that no stale artifacts reside in the local m2 repository you might want to delete all the jars of your project from there and then execute the mvn package command again. The war has to be created in module b/target - and this is the WAR you should check out.
Note, all these steps are done without any interaction with NetBeans at all.
Recently I encounter a issue maybe related to this. When project imported, there is a issue regarding not being able to find a maven dependency within ./m2 location. However, there is a .jar there. The problem is that Intellij insist to look for .bundle file rather than .jar file. Any solution for that?
Library Maven: org.apache.directory.jdbm:apacheds-jdbm1:bundle:2.0.0-M2 has broken classes path: /Users/Aertoria/.m2/repository/org/apache/directory/jdbm/apacheds-jdbm1/2.0.0-M2/apacheds-jdbm1-2.0.0-M2.bundle
You appear to be encountering IDEA-117578 Dependency with type "bundle" isn't resolved correctly.
It's possible you can work around it by explicitly adding it as a jar dependency to your project:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.directory.jdbm</groupId>
<artifactId>apacheds-jdbm1</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0-M2</version>
</dependency>
I'm working in eclipse and I have a problem that I can't import my personal java libraries.
I created the libraries and 'installed' them into my local maven repo (using mvn install). This created a subdirectory related to the 'version' name that was in the POM file from when I ran the command. Which seemed fine.
So in this directory there where the usual jar files and other stuff.
When I released this file I manually changed the name of the version in the POM. going from 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT to 0.0.1-RELEASE
This seems to have worked as I would have expected.
However I can't seem to find import the new release jar.
Using the maven repositories browser in eclipse I can see that the new artifact is in the 'local' repository.
I try to add the dependency in the following methods:
Select the main project -> Maven -> add dependency.
This adds the dependency details into the pom but with a type value detail of <type>pom.lastUpdated</type>
Select the project pom.xml file -> Maven -> add dependency.
This time the artifact for the 0.0.1-RELEASE is greyed out I can select it, but I guess nothing is actually happening.
The original 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT it selectable, and if I use this I do not have a <type> detail in the pom.
I don't understand why there is a difference in the RELEASE and SNAPSHOT artifacts, as they have both been generated in the same way, and clearly they are both visible in the browser, the contents of the directory on disk are the same. The file names and contents are identical with the exception of the word RELEASE or SNAPSHOT.
I know that I can simply add in the RELEASE jar to my build path, but this seems to be a ridiculous thing to have to do if I intend to use maven (or do I need to do this).
I don't want to use an external repo for storing my artifacts, and I'm not too keen to go to the trouble of installing nexus (or similar) on my local machine (just because I've had trouble with it in the past).
What am I missing so as I can get my maven project to see my local repository and all its artifacts.
Thanks in advance.
David
ps I've already tried things such as mvn dependency:purge-local-repository which definitely pulled in / updated all the local jar dependencies.
So I've managed to work around my problem.
As such this solution is ridiculous, and breaks all the purpose of maven.
So I found (from running maven from the cli) that there was an error in the parent of the project I was attempting to use.
The parent was missing a direct link to the scm plugin (version error).
Once I solved this problem, I then returned to the sub project, and got a lot of errors from missing stuff from the parent.
Essentially it was not 'seeing' all the log4j dependencies.
The solution (well non-solution really).
Add all the log4j dependencies to the sub project.
Edit in SCM and surefire test plugins (as it also started to fail the test code due to missing junit).
So this is great.
I have to define all my dependencies on log4j and in my sub / child project's pom.xml file.
I also need to define them all in my parent's pom.
As it then still refused to run tests in my new project (that used the above as a dependency), and refused to find log4j also. I then decided to add all of these as dependencies for my current project.
Great.
I thought the whole point of maven was I could define my dependency on log4j in my my logging library that I use (which is the dependency), and then it would 'automagically' pull in all the required from this dependency.
Clearly not.
As stated at the start. This is NOT AN ANSWER it is a crazy work around.
My logging library that I use should be able to define its own requirement on a specific log4j version (such as moving from log4j to log4j2), and then when I include this as a maven dependency any change to the required dependency should be seen automatically.
But No : I have to import the dependency on log4j in my other projects also. So now if I had updated my logging library from log4j to log4j2 I would need to go to all my project that use this library and update their pom's to ensure that I have the correct version of log4j.
Seems the whole point of maven has just been lost!
Can someone please tell me where I am going wrong!
David.
so I have started using maven (with eclipse, and a local implementation of Sonatype) not that long ago, after getting through the initial pain I though everything was working.... apparently not !
I have my main project POM and all my child POM (I am using a 'flat' hierarchy, so all the sub projects are in the same folder as the parent POM). This seems to be working OK.
The sub project where all started and 'released' and tested before I started using Maven. I went to maven to solve my 'dependencies' problems... or rather make them more complicated in this instance.
Most of the 'Maven' stuff seems to work fine, but I can't resolve the dependencies of my 'sub projects' that have been released into my local ms/repository
Each day I start up eclipse and have the same problems, I have 'unable to resolve imports' on all my personal libraries, and all those that I use for them (such as Log4j, DDlUtils etc).
I thought the whole point of maven was that I would be able to put in an import declaration for a library, add the 'groupID' and other stuff to the child POM (or parent POM). And then have all the jars downloaded automagically when I run
mvn install
against the parent.
However each day I find I have to re-insert the build path to the libraries (internal and external) via the eclipse workspace and point them to the location of the libraries that I have downloaded as maven can't seem to find them anywhere.
Specifically with running Junit test, I can run them from the workspace (using run as junit) and they all pass fine. But if I try to run them with
mvn test
I get an message saying
java.lang;NoClassDefFoundError: org/junit/Assert
(and this is the same from within eclipse running the mvn test or from CLI)
with an error message in the output of
failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven.surfire-plugin:2.10:test
the POM and jar are in my M2_REPO, and I can find it when I search in sonatype, why can't maven find something that is part of its own system, exists in its repo.
but this obviously works just fine when I run via eclipse and point it to an independently downloaded junit library.
I don't know what extra info you may require, and I'm obviously missing something in either the m2e plugin, my maven install or in sonatype.
please help I'm begining to loose my hair!
and may soon be forced to return to an ant/ivy solution (but don't want to have to learn 'yet another tool' (in this case ivy).
Thanks in advance
David.
ps. i'm on a windows XP platform
edit...
can I get maven to build and release the jar and pom even though it thinks it is failing the tests (which is itn't as I'm doing them manually, and they pass just fine).
If I look in the 'effective POM' tab of my parent POM, the plugin stated above is not in there. I guess this means it is a maven config setting, but where do I add it, and why isn't it automatic when I run my first set of maven tests?
edit 2....
I just found this on the apache plugin comments page (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/plugin-info.html), so I ran the code on the CLI, mvn surefire:help -Ddetail=true -Dgoal=test lots of stuff was downloaded, and now the tests run, but they fail within maven ? (remember they pass when run from eclipse using 'run as junit test)... so this is nearly a solution...
It sounds like you need make eclipse aware that the projects in question are Maven projects. You may have POMs set up for your projects, but for the m2e plugin to work you need to have either created the project as a Maven project ('New' -> 'Project...' -> 'Maven' -> 'Maven Project...'), or converted it into a Maven project by right clicking it then selecting 'Configure' -> 'Convert to Maven Project'. You will know that a project has been recognised as a Maven project because there will be a little blue 'M' in the top left of its icon, as shown in the screenshot below:
The main thing to note in the above picture is the 'Maven Dependencies' library. This is set up automatically by the m2e plugin. Whenever you add a dependency to a POM then the project's build path will be configured automatically, although sometimes you may need to force it to do so by right clicking the project and selecting 'Maven' -> 'Update Maven Configuration'. The important thing is that if everything is working then you should never have to update the build path yourself. Moveover, if you do update it yourself then any changes you make will likely get overwritten the next time you run the 'Update Maven Configuration' command.
Also worth noting from the picture is that the two dependencies 'mavenProjectTest' and 'primes' have folder icons next to them. This means that they have been picked up as workspace projects. For this to work the project must have 'workspace resolution' enabled, and the projects to be picked up need to be configured as m2e Maven projects as well.
You mention downloading external libraries. You shouldn't need to download any libraries yourself - by adding the right dependency declaration for an external library then Maven will download it from your configured remote repository (the first time anyway - afterwards it will then be able to get it from your local repository). By default, this is the Maven Central repository. To add an external library to your project just follow that link, enter the library in the search box, click on the version link for the version you require, then you will be taken to a page where there will be the dependency XML declaration that you can just copy and paste into your POM.
One more thing that may help is that you should make sure that your source folders follow the Maven default directory structure. That is, your test packages should be contained in a source folder called 'src/test/java', and the main project packages should go in 'src/main/java'. Otherwise Maven will not know where to find your source code. It is possible to configure a POM to tell Maven to expect your source code to be in different source folders, but it is highly recommended that you follow the standard Maven directory structure.
Since you have child modules, my suggestion would be to simplify things by creating a new Maven project from scratch that you can have a play around with. Once you are comfortable with that then try getting m2e to work for your multi-module project.
I remember your pain when first getting to grips with Maven, but it's great once you understand what it's doing and everything is working. I highly recommend reading through the free online book Maven: The Complete Reference - it helped me out a lot when I was getting started with Maven.
I have experienced the same messages and have found a working solution, thanks to one of my organization's Maven experts.
Here was my pom.xml that reproduces your error:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit4</groupId>
<artifactId>org.junit4</artifactId>
<version>4.3.1</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
With it, I would get package org.junit does not exist messages and NoClassDefFoundError: org/junit/Assert. Similar to your experience, it worked great from Eclipse, green bars and all.
Here is the pom.xml that works:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>4.8.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
I copied this from the example at the top of this Using JUnit page.
