Munit in Jenkins with dependency on Domain projects - maven

I have Mule Project "A" which refers a Domain Project "X". I would like to run my MUnits for Project "A" in Jenkins but it fails as it's unable to find the dependency Domain project "X".
To resolve this I added the "dependency" for domain project"A" in, project "X" pom. xml. But no luck.
Please give me details how it can be resolved to run my MUnits ion Jenkins as a post-build action.
Thanks,
Ikram

to be able to do that I had to:
First, add the domain dependency in your pom with "test" scope
<dependency>
<groupId>com.mygroupid</groupId>
<artifactId>mule-domain-id</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<scope>test</scope>
<type>zip</type>
</dependency>
Second, you have to install the domain artifact in one artifact repository (Nexus for example).This way, the dependency is accessible from Jenkins. And then add that repository to your pom.xml
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>alm-nexus</id>
<name>ALM Nexus Repo</name>
<url>https://nexus.alm.corp/repository/maven-public</url>
<layout>default</layout>
</repository>
</repositories>
One important thing when runing MUnits in Jenkins is the following. The root folder name has to be exactly the same as the artifactId, so in Jenkins you have to set the workspace with a custom one
If using a Jenkinsfile you can do this with the following:
customWorkspace
"${env.JOB_NAME}/${env.BUILD_ID}/artifact-id-has-to-go-here"
With these steps we are able to have a working pipeline with MUnit testing as one of the stages.

In a Springboot Maven project, how to reference from another Jar?

I have a SpringBoot Maven project. I am dependent on another set of libraries. Currently am pointing to their repository path , downloading it to .m2 repository and using.
But the repository website is not reliable. SO I wanted to package the dependent libraries as part of JAR in the resources folder.
After putting the jars in resource folder. How can I get references of the Types/libraries ?
Currently:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.dcm4che</groupId>
<artifactId>dcm4che-core</artifactId>
<version>5.23.1</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>www.dcm4che.org</id>
<name>dcm4che Repository</name>
<url>https://www.dcm4che.org/maven2</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
You can put all your libraries in a single folder either in your project or in some folder in your local. You can then add them to your maven POM.
Lets say you put all your jars in a folder called libs in your base project directory. You can then add something similar to the below in your maven POM.
<groupId>com.abc.xyz</groupId>
<artifactId>my-artifact-id</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${basedir}/libs/my-jar-name.jar</systemPath>
You need to use the scope system. Excerpt from Maven website,
Scope : system - This scope is similar to provided except that you
have to provide the JAR which contains it explicitly. The artifact is
always available and is not looked up in a repository.
Maven Documentation
If you read further, it also mentions that this has been deprecated. So, its a nice quickfix or a hack but then the best thing would be to set up a repository manager as suggested by others.

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.

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.

Should I write repositories in my pom.xml?

I am new to Maven. If I start new project with Maven, should I know any repository URLs for it to work?
For example, this Hibernate tutorial http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/core/3.3/reference/en/html/tutorial.html says about how to create a sample project with pom.xml text. But this pom.xml does not contain any repositories.
So, my m2eclipse plugin says, for example Project build error: 'dependencies.dependency.version' for org.hibernate:hibernate-core:jar is missing., for all dependency tag in pom.xml
Is this because of repositories absence?
Where to know repositories URLs? Is there one big repository? Why doesn't it included by default?
UPDATE 1
It is said here, that Maven should use "central" repository by default: http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-repositories.html
I have searched there for hibernate-code artifact and found it. So, this artifact IS in central repository. By my maven says dependency not found. Hence it doesn't use it's central repository. Why?
Apparently your Hibernate dependency is missing <version> tag:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
<version>3.6.9.Final</version> <!-- this line is missing -->
</dependency>
Note that you don't have to specify version of dependencies previously declared in <dependencyManagement>.
Old answer:
Every build script (not only with Maven) should be reproducible and independent from environment. Standard pom.xml (called super pom), which every pom.xml inherits from, already defines main Maven central repository:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>central</id>
<name>Maven Repository Switchboard</name>
<layout>default</layout>
<url>https://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>
</repositories>
You don't have to define this repository, and you don't have to define any others if all your dependencies are there. On the other hand if you are using some external repositories, you must add them to pom.xml, so that every developer is always able to build.
The bottom line is: if you can build the project having a completely empty repository, your pom.xml is fine.
It's not advisable to define repositories in POM files as that causes a lot of issues (Maven will search those repositories for ANY artifact even the ones available at Central, poor portability, ...)
Best approach: Setup a repository manager (Artifactory, Nexus) and edit your settings.xml file to use the repo manager as a mirror.
Second best approach: Define the required repositories in your settings.xml file, not in your pom.xml files.
Repositories in poms is a bad idea.

How can i use SVN as Maven Repository

I am working on project which has multiple dependencies. Most of the dependencies are available at our centralized maven repository. My project includes some JARs which only specific to my application and unavailable at our Maven repo. Due to some policy/restriction i cant deploy that jars to our maven repository.
When i install these jars in my local repository(i.e.UserHome/.m2/repository) and compile the code its working fine.
Now i want these dependencies in SVN so that we can build the application package using Continuum.(We cant refer local dependency from Continuum server.)
Just to achieve these i copied the locally installed dependency from .m2/repository and committed it in SVN. Then i declared repository in pom.xml like..
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>repo.pu</id>
<name>repo.pu</name>
<url>https://URL/migration2/APP1/src/main/lib/</url>
<layout>default</layout>
</repository>
</repositories>
Now to use dependency from above repo i added code like...
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>repo.pu</groupId>
<artifactId>Ptestval</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
When i type mvn verify i am getting the below error..
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project APP1: Could not resolve dependencies f
or project fileservices.migration2:APP1:jar:1.0: Failed to collect dependencies
for [repo.pu:Ptestval:jar:1.0 (compile)]: Failed to read artifact descriptor for
repo.pu:Ptestval:jar:1.0: Could not transfer artifact repo.pu:Ptestval:pom:1.0
from/to repo.pu (https://URL/migration2/APP1/src/main/lib/): Access denied to:
https://URL/migration2/APP1/src/main/lib/repo/pu/Ptestv
al/1.0/Ptestval-1.0.pom -> [Help 1]
Could you please someone help me to resolve these issue?
EDIT: I created a repository like ..
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>repo.pu</id>
<name>repo.pu</name>
<url>https://SVNUserName:SVNPassword#SVN_URL/BaseProj/ProjA/src/main/lib</url>
<layout>default</layout>
</repository>
</repositories>
This technique works perfectly at my Personal laptop. Maven downloads the listed dependency from repo.
But when tries to use the same in my project on company network it is not working .. It gives the same error which i was getting before using this approach.
Can anyone help me please? What would be problem? Is it a network issue?
Set up a repository manager like Nexus and don't abuse Subversion for something it was not designed for. This is unfortunately done in Google Code.
You must configure your project to use wagon-scm.
See http://maven.apache.org/wagon/wagon-providers/wagon-scm/usage.html
