protobuf jar not getting downloaded to local maven repository - maven

In my pom.xml I have
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.protobuf</groupId>
<artifactId>protobuf-java</artifactId>
<version>3.6.1</version>
</dependency>
and in my settings.xml I have the below configured in the list of repositories in my active profile.
<repository>
<id>google-protobuf</id>
<name>google-protobuf</name>
<url>https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.protobuf/protobuf-java</url>
</repository>
But in local .m2/repository I don't find any such directory path com/google/protobuf, and protoc generated java files in my project are not compilling, with the error
java: package com.google.protobuf does not exist
The version 3.6.1. I have used in my pom.xml for the protobuf dependency matches that of my protoc compiler version.
Any help is much appreciated.

Goddammit, restarting Intellij fixed it.

Maven doesn't find an existing remote artifact

I'm trying to use docker-compose-rule to run docker-compose files in junit integration tests.
I use the following dependency in my pom.xml file:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.palantir.docker.compose</groupId>
<artifactId>docker-compose-rule-core</artifactId>
<version>0.32.0</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.palantir.docker.compose/docker-compose-rule-junit4 -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.palantir.docker.compose</groupId>
<artifactId>docker-compose-rule-junit4</artifactId>
<version>0.32.0</version>
</dependency>
but for some reason the artifact is not found by maven (for none of the available versions).
As far as I can say, the artifact is found in the jcenter as shows in bintray.
It also exists on maven repository.
Can someone please tell why can't I use these libraries?
Alternatively, can I reference maven to take the library from a specific url with a specific jar file, for example from github, or from here?
According to mvnrepository, the jar you are looking for is not in the maven default Central repository, but is in the Palantir repository. You can add
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>Palantir</id>
<url>https://dl.bintray.com/palantir/releases/</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
into your pom.xml, and try again.

How to add Maven dependency jar file from the lib folder

I am trying to add a jar file to the Maven dependency in my project. The settings.xml is configured to set the repository to a public repository. But this particular jar is not present in that repo. As i have the jar in my lib folder, how can i configure the Maven dependency to take this jar?
Have a look at system dependencies.
You basically need to define <scope>system</scope>.
<project>
...
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.sql</groupId>
<artifactId>jdbc-stdext</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${java.home}/lib/rt.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
...
</project>
This is if you don't have your own hosted artifact repository server such as Nexus, Artifactory or Archiva.
If you do, then as Karl-Heinz suggested, you would be better off placing it there, as it's not good practice to commit binary artifacts to version control.
Another option is to set up a repository that is backed by a directory inside your project, per this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2230464/433789
Changing pom.xml worked for me (jar in "/lib" directory in the root project folder) :
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
<artifactId>gson</artifactId>
<version>2.8.6</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${project.basedir}/lib/gson-2.8.6.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
The best solution is to start using a repository manager like Nexus and put it there. Or you can use the non-maven-jar-plugin.

Need explanation for maven error please

http://blog.bigpixel.ro/2012/07/building-cc-applications-with-maven/comment-page-1/#comment-8196
I'm following the example above for the maven nar plugin, but I get the following error when I do a mvn package
“could not find artifact net.sf.antcontrib:cpptasks-parallel:jar:1.0-beta-5-parallel-1-SNAPSHOT” but I see the following folder tree and its contents in my ~/.m2/repository... What gives?
~
.m2
repository
net
sf
antcontrib
cpptasks-parallel
1.0-beta-5-parallel-1-SNAPSHOT
Change dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.antcontrib</groupId>
<artifactId>cpptasks-parallel</artifactId>
<version>1.0-beta-5-parallel-1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
to
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codeswarm</groupId>
<artifactId>cpptasks-parallel</artifactId>
<version>20121119</version>
</dependency>
Unfortunately, neither maven-nar-plugin nor cpptasks-parallel are currently deployed to Central. So you need to mvn install them yourself (or better, mvn deploy them to your own Maven repository). You can find both projects on GitHub.
EDIT: nar-maven-plugin version 3.0.0 has been released, and is now available from Maven Central. Two notes:
The groupId and artifactId changed; the GAV is now:
<plugin>
<groupId>com.github.maven-nar</groupId>
<artifactId>nar-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
</plugin>
The cpptasks-parallel project has been merged into nar-maven-plugin, so no need to worry about that dependency anymore.

Adding db2 jars to java webapp using maven

I'm trying to add the following db2 jars to my Java web application using Maven...
db2jcc_license_cu.jar
db2jcc_javax.jar
db2jcc.jar
I'm following the instructions posted in this post...
Can I add jars to maven 2 build classpath without installing them?
I want to use the static in-project repository solution. So far I have...
Created a folder in my root directory named lib. Inside this
directory lives the three db2 jars.
Added the following to my pom file...
<repository>
<id>lib</id>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<checksumPolicy>ignore</checksumPolicy>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
<url>file://${project.basedir}/lib</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ibm.db2.jcc</groupId>
<artifactId>db2jcc</artifactId>
<version>3.8.47</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ibm.db2.jcc</groupId>
<artifactId>db2jcc_license_cu</artifactId>
<version>3.8.47</version>
</dependency>
But when I run a maven install I get ...
[WARNING] The POM for com.ibm.db2.jcc:db2jcc:jar:3.8.47 is missing, no dependency information available
[WARNING] The POM for com.ibm.db2.jcc:db2jcc_license_cu:jar:3.8.47 is missing, no dependency information available
I got the version of the Jars by running a...
java com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Jcc -version
Have I specified this version info corretly? Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?
The problem is that you didn't install the jars properly in your "project-maven-repository" (i.e. in the folder ${project.basedir}/lib)
Maven stores (when you do mvn install) the jar files in a maven repository. A maven repository have precise hierarchical structure. Here is a simplified vision of this structure:
the artifact groupId+artifactId define the first part of folder path (in the repository) where the artifact is stored.
the artifact version is the second part of the folder path
the artifact version is also a suffix to the artifact name
the artifactId is the artifact name
the packaging is the artifact extension (default is jar)
By default maven use a repository located under <USER_HOME>/.m2/repository
The solution you are trying to setup use another location for the repository : ${project.basedir}/lib and even if it is not the default repository location it is still a maven-repository and so maven is expecting to find the usual maven repository hierarchy under this location.
That's why you need to organize your ${project.basedir}/lib folder just like a maven repository. That's explained in this part of the referenced post:
Use Maven to install to project repo
Instead of creating this structure by hand I recommend to use a Maven plugin to install your jars as artifacts. So, to install an artifact to an in-project repository under repo folder execute:
mvn install:install-file -DlocalRepositoryPath=lib -DcreateChecksum=true -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=[your-jar] -DgroupId=[...] -DartifactId=[...] -Dversion=[...]
If you'll choose this approach you'll be able to simplify the repository declaration in pom to:
<repository>
<id>repo</id>
<url>file://${project.basedir}/lib</url>
</repository>
So you need to do an mvn install to create the ${project.basedir}/lib hierarchy (you can do it by hand, but it's not recommended and error prone).
I your case, the commands to run will be like this: (assuming you put the jar in your HOME_DIR and run this command in your ${project.basedir})
mvn install:install-file -DlocalRepositoryPath=lib -DcreateChecksum=true -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=<USER_HOME>/db2jcc_license_cu.jar -DgroupId=com.ibm.db2.jcc -DartifactId=db2jcc_license_cu -Dversion=3.8.47
What are the advantages of the approch you choose :
a developer with no maven setup will have the libraries available inside the project sources, under SCM system.
you can easily reference jars that aren't in a public maven repository without the need of something like artifactory or nexus
The drawbacks :
a quite complex folder structure under ${project.basedir}/lib looking very strange for someone not used to work with maven.
you will store the libraries under SCM (lot's of huge binary files)
Another solution would be to download those jars before hand and put them somewhere relatively to your project (like lib directory). Now just tell maven to use those jars. Here the groupId, artifactdId and version are JFYI since they won't be used to download anything.
The merit of this solution is that you won't have to build a maven repository.

I guess these jars do not have a pom.xml. Hence the warning. If the jars get packaged and the application works, then I guess you do not have a problem.

Maven can't resolve the dependency it just found

Maven must be losing its mind.
I added a dependency using Netbeans Add Dependency dialog. I searched for jax-rs-ri. It updated the index from central and showed several versions of jax-rs-ri. I selected 1.9.1 and it added this to the pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.jersey.ri</groupId>
<artifactId>jax-rs-ri</artifactId>
<version>1.9.1</version>
</dependency>
Looks right, but when I build I get the following error:
Failed to execute goal on project reply-to.test-web:
Could not resolve dependencies for project jms:reply-to.test-web:war:1.0-SNAPSHOT:
Could not find artifact com.sun.jersey.ri:jax-rs-ri:jar:1.10-b03 in
central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2) -> [Help 1]
I've also tried changing the repository the following with the same results:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>maven2-repository.java.net</id>
<name>Java.net Repository for Maven</name>
<url>http://download.java.net/maven/2</url>
<layout>default</layout>
</repository>
</repositories>
This was working earlier today. Did something just get broken with Maven?
In these cases it's worth to check the local repository (usually c:\Users\<username>\.m2\repository\com\sun\jersey\ri\jax-rs-ri or /home/<username>/.m2/repository/com/sun/jersey/jax-rs-ri) and Central:
http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails|com.sun.jersey.ri|jax-rs-ri|1.9.1|pom
(The important part now is the "Available Downloads" table.)
So, there isn't any jar file just a zip (and the POM). You should use <type>zip</type> in your dependency like this:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.jersey.ri</groupId>
<artifactId>jax-rs-ri</artifactId>
<version>1.9.1</version>
<type>zip</type>
</dependency>
Since it's a zip maybe you want to unpack it. This answer could help: Unzip dependency in maven
Please note that 1.9.1 is not the latest jax-rs-ri version and your Maven uses 1.10-b03. If you want to force it to use 1.9.1 you have to use <version>[1.9.1]</version> inside the dependency tag.
