Maven - Jenkins issue - maven

There are couple of issues I am facing in Jenkins integration . I run the scripts from local Eclipse and it works perfectly fine with Selenium Grid. I am trying to setup this whole thing in Jenkins and facing the following issues
1. cannot find symbol - Seeing this issue in Jenkins and searched about this in Stack Overflow . Verified the JDK version and my pom.xml version matches with the one installed in Jenkins.
2.I have three packages- One has the framework , second one has the main method and the third one has the code related to the application i am testing. I am converting my framework to a jar and uploading the entire thing to GIT . When i build the project jar using Maven install , its not including the framework jar which is causing the issue . I tried a lot of things suggested in Stack Overflow and it did not work. I am quite new to this kind of Maven stuff
3. I am not even able to run the scripts with the help of the runnable jar in my local because of issue# 2
Some of these have already been posted but i tried out those things and did not work for me or I might be missing something

In Maven you have a file called settings.xml which contains URL of the location from where you want to fetch all your dependencies like here JAR files in your case from GIT. It works from your eclipse because maven looks for dependencies in your .m2 folder which are there when you run it from eclipse. But, in order to build it from anywhere else you need to specify that URL in maven's settings.xml

Secondary Jar version don't sync up when deploying

I'm using gradle artifactory plugin to deploy my library to oss-snapshot-local.
The first deploy works as intended and the filenames are correct:
eg.
skrypton-api-1.0.0-20171014.053125-1-sources.jar
skrypton-api-1.0.0-20171014.053125-1.jar
But on the second deploy, the sources jar is not uploaded despite the plugin saying it has deployed it. I end up with only
skrypton-api-1.0.0-20171014.053349-2.jar
Deploying for the third time,
skrypton-api-1.0.0-20171014.053349-2-sources.jar shows up. But not third source jar. Only skrypton-api-1.0.0-20171014.054252-3.jar
This is what it looks like in general after 3 deploys
The source jar version seems to be stuck at (deploy number - 1) after the first deployment. Tried it with a javadoc jar and it also doesn't work properly.
This is the build script in question.

Use Maven to start programs

I apologize if this sounds to simple (or the fact that there are other links that define this problem) - but I'm a complete beginner to Maven and even Java.
All that I'm trying to do is to run this code to see what it does:
https://github.com/semanticvectors/semanticvectors/wiki/GettingStarted
The Wiki says that uses can either download the .jar file or use the maven repo. I downloaded their .jar file and tried to run it but failed. I use this code:
java -jar /home/user/semanticvectors-5.6.jar
That .jar file didn't work for me and from other stackoverflow links, it seems that either the .jar file is not setup properly or I have a non-compatitble java version.
In any case, I've decided to try using Maven to get this running. I've installed Maven using:
sudo apt-get install maven
It seems to be working as everything was successful in setup. But now I'm not too sure what to do after. This Wiki (linked above) as go to this Maven repo site (https://oss.sonatype.org/#nexus-search;quick%7Esemanticvectors). To my understanding (and correct me if I'm wrong) I thought Maven is a super repository for developers and testers to work from the same code, so I thought I could use Maven as an alternative to running to program. Anyways, I'm open to any suggestions to get the program running to see what it does, thanks.
If you're interested in knowing more about me: I'm running a 16.04 Ubuntu system with Java 8.
The idea is that you can either build the JAR yourself - get the source from SVN and build it (using maven commands, as maven is a build tool), or you can use the existing JAR that is already "prepared" and ready for use in the maven-repository (nexus, in this case).
The result should be the same - if you use the JAR as a dependency in your code (add it to your pom.xml) or if you build it yourself.
You can learn more about Maven and things will be much clearer...

maven + elicpse related questions

Forgive me asking following questions. I am totally lost in regards to maven+eclipse. I checked out someone's java project (maven built) from SVN to my local eclipse (kepler). When I click Windows > Preferences, I see Maven.
question 1)
Is this a maven plugin? When developers say maven in eclipse, are they referring to maven plugin? maven and maven plugin are two separate components?
question 2)
when I click on user settings, C:\Users\myName.m2\settings.xml is missing. Exact error message is "User settings file doesn't exist". Does it get created when you install maven plugin at first time?
question 3)
I found three folders may have to do with maven C:\workspace\maven_local_repo_artifactory directory, C:\maven_local_repo and C:\Users\myName.m2\respository but not sure how they get created and what is the relationship among them.
question 4)
Is it ok to remove current maven plugin from eclipse and re-install it then check out the java project from SVN? I think my maven or maven plugin settings are not correct in my local box.
1) Is this a maven plugin? When developers say maven in eclipse, are
they referring to maven plugin? maven and maven plugin are two
separate components?
Yes. This is the maven-plugin. maven-plugin uses the configurations of maven (%M2_HOME%/conf).
If you wanna work with maven, you need to install it on your machine. Then you can run maven commmands. In addition, if you want to invoke maven commands within eclipse (conveniently) - you can install the eclipse-plugin. "maven-plugin" is a plugin for eclipse, that lets you use maven within Eclipse conveniently.
2) when I click on user settings, C:\Users\myName.m2\settings.xml is
missing. Exact error message is "User settings file doesn't exist".
Does it get created when you install maven plugin at first time?
By default, the maven-plugin assumes that your settings.xml (which is the configuration file of maven) is in the path you have mentioned. However, there are cases (like in my case) where the config file is not there, but under %M2_HOME%/conf. you can update it in Eclipse, and the error will disappear.
3) I found three folders may have to do with maven
C:\workspace\maven_local_repo_artifactory directory,
C:\maven_local_repo and C:\Users\myName.m2\respository but not sure
how they get created and what is the relationship among them.
C:\Users\myName.m2\respository is the "local repository". If you learned a bit about how maven works, it holds a local repo on the local machine, and it keeps there all artifacts. It downloads them from the "repository" - if you have one in your company (Nexus, Artifactory, etc) or from Maven Central. However, this path is configurable by Maven's settings. So there might be that someone played with it and changed the path, and these other directories were created. You did not mention what resides inside these paths...
4) Is it ok to remove current maven plugin from eclipse and re-install
it then check out the java project from SVN? I think my maven or maven
plugin settings are not correct in my local box.
Sure it is OK. You may remove the plugin, and the source plus maven itself will not be deleted from your machine.
HTH.

IntelliJ steps through the wrong lines when debugging remote Java application

I tried to remote debug a maven plugin for a liquibase project with Intellij. IDEA is highlighting the wrong source code line.
I manually built and installed the plugin in my local maven repository from sources in my Intellij project. Intellij version is 11.1.3 and maven version is 3.0.4 running on Ubuntu 12.04.
For debugging the maven plugin I used mvnDebug comand.
If someone has any ideas please give me some advice. I'm not too used to remote debugging (in fact this is the second time I've done this).
For me, whenever IntelliJ is highlighting the wrong line, it was always because the version of the JAR/classes being used to run the application differs from my source files - i.e. different version of the sources were used to build the JAR and/or classes.
You are going to have to be sure that you are working from the exact source that was used to build the classes you are debugging.
You can verify this by looking at the classpath being used to launch the application, locating the JAR file or classes directory that contains the classes you are debugging, and verifying that they were built from the sources you are inspecting.
Note that when you are debugging third-party libraries, you often can download the "sources" jar (see IntelliJ2-IDEA get Maven-2 to download source and documentation).
If you stumbled across this post, and sure that the source and JAR are the same code, then this could be your problem.
http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-8021
Instead of doing remote debugging you can run the plugin directly from IntelliJ.
Have the liquibase plugin project loaded in IntelliJ by just pointing at the pom.xml.
Choose Edit Configurations...
Press the + button to Add New Configuration.
Select Maven.
Enter the Working directory to the project you want to run the plugin on.
Enter the Command line. Could be process-sources, compile or liquibase:status depending on what you want to do.
Press OK
Set a breakpoint in the Liquibase Mojo.
Now you can start this configuration by pressing Shift+F9.
Maven will start and finally you will see that your plugin is waiting at the breakpoint!
Make sure that you have defined the plugin in the target pom.xml with correct version and also that you build the plugin before launching it. You can ensure that by enabling Make in the Before Launch pane.

Maven fails to find local artifact

Occasionally maven complains that a particular dependency, which is built and packaged locally, cannot be found in the local repository while building another project that has it as a dependency. We get an error like:
Failed to execute goal on project X: Could not resolve dependencies for project X: Failure to find Y in [archiva repository] was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of internal has elapsed or updates are forced ->
Where X is the project being built, and Y is the supposedly missing artifact. If you look in the local repository, the artifact is there. This artifact is never installed in our archiva repository, so the problem is purely based in the local repository.
We have tried various profiles in settings.xml, and of course "mvn -U". Neither do any good, nor should they because this artifact never goes any further than the local repository.
The only two things that seem to work are to wait a very long time until maven smartens up, or to completely delete the local repository. Presumably the waiting option is related to the aforementioned update interval.
We have experienced this problem with maven 3.0.2 and 3.0.3. We are using Archiva 1.0.3 (but again this shouldn't be a factor). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The local Maven repo tracks where artifacts originally came from using a file named "_maven.repositories" in the artifact directory. After removing it, the build worked. This answer fixed the problem for me.
As the options here didn't work for me, I'm sharing how I solved it:
My project has a parent project (with its own pom.xml) that has many children modules, one of which (A) has a dependency to another child (B). When I tried mvn package in A, it didn't work because B could not be resolved.
Executing mvn install in the parent directory did the job. After that, I could do mvn package inside of A and only then it could find B.
Even in offline mode, maven will check remote repositories if there is a _remote.repositories marker for the dependency. If you need to operate in offline mode, you may need to delete these files.
The simple shell command below deletes these marker files. This is safe to do if you only use offline mode for the machine. I would NOT do this on a machine that needs to pull files down from the web.
I have used this strategy on a build server that is disconnected from the web. We have to transfer the repository to it, delete the marker files and then run in offline mode.
On Linux / Unix you can delete the remote repository marker files this way:
cd ~/.m2
find . -name "_remote.repositories" -type f -delete
Maven remembers when it didn't find something. The key is "resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of internal has elapsed or updates are forced ->"
The quick solution is to delete your local "repository" subdirectory for the problem artifact - assuming you have fixed the problem with it. :)
mvn -U will force update from remote repository - again, assuming you have now populated remote with said artifact.
When this happened to me, it was because I'd blindly copied my settings.xml from a template and it still had the blank <localRepository/> element. This means that there's no local repository used when resolving dependencies (though your installed artifacts do still get put in the default location). When I'd replaced that with <localRepository>${user.home}\.m2\repository</localRepository> it started working.
For *nix, that would be <localRepository>${user.home}/.m2/repository</localRepository>, I suppose.
If you have <repositories/> defined in your pom.xml apparently your local repository is ignored.
Catch all. When solutions mentioned here don't work(happend in my case), simply delete all contents from '.m2' folder/directory, and do mvn clean install.
Even I faced this issue and solved it with 2 ways:
1) In your IDE select project and clean all projects then install all the maven dependencies by right clicking on project -> go to maven and Update project dependencies select all projects at once to install the same. Once this is done run the particular project
2) Else What you can do is check in the pom.xml for the dependencies for which you are getting error and "mvn clean install" those dependent project first and the install maven dependencies of the current project in which you facing issue. By this the dependencies of the local project will be build and jars will be created.
I run to the similar problem when my new project depend on oracle jdbc jar(which I have installed in my local repository and work well for other projects). I tried -U option ,deleting .lastupdate file or the whole directory and downlaod again,but it did not work. finally,I deleted the directory and installed it locally again,it works.
One of the errors I found around Maven is when I put my settings.xml file in the wrong directory. It has to be in .m2 folder under your user home dir. Check to make sure that is in the right place (along with settings-security.xml if you are using that).
I had DependencyResolutionException in Ubuntu Linux when I've installed local artifacts via a shell script. The solution was to delete the local artifacts and install them again "manually" - calling mvn install:install-file via terminal.
This happened because I had http instead of https in this:
<repository>
<id>jcenter</id>
<name>jcenter-bintray</name>
<url>https://jcenter.bintray.com</url>
</repository>
check if if your artifact Y have packaging set to "jar". If you have defined it as "war" by error or copy paste, it will show this strange "was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of internal has elapsed or updates are forced". I would expect something like "artifact Y is war, jar type expected".
In my case I needed project Y to be a WAR to be deployed through Tomcat, as well as it needed to be a JAR to be able to add it as a dependency in project X.
So in project Y's pom.xml, I added this plugin to create a JAR along with the WAR:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.2</version>
<configuration>
<attachClasses>true</attachClasses>
<classesClassifier>classes</classesClassifier>
</configuration>
</plugin>
And while adding the dependency of project Y in project X's pom.xml, I had to add a classifier:
<dependency>
<groupId>groupId.of.project.Y</groupId>
<artifactId>project.Y</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<classifier>classes</classifier>
</dependency>
Note: when you build project Y, you will see 2 packagings in the target folder: project-Y.war and project-Y-classes.jar, so that's why while importing you are specifying the classes classifier to import the JAR and not the WAR.
Here is the long Solution to the problem
(Not Quick fix but will work if no other solution)
You're going to hate me for saying this but this is the truth about open source projects like eclipse. Because Open source is modular and allows you to build and develop a project in many ways with many tools such as maven, spring boot, options for xml or groovy, different eclipse updates & Etc. The problem is that eclipse allows you to run the project with missing maven builds because the IDE is smart enough to resolve dependencies using a remote_repository where it stores and catches the jar files that is not properly built on the project.
Because of this feature, You may actually have local build issues but just like DNS servers; if the solution is not found in the local directory, Eclipse will look for a solution in it's remote cached repository. When you delete the remote_repository and let Maven rebuild it a second time, The project may end up creating more errors and not build a second time or may possibly rebuild a cache that was missing. But that is unlikely.
So the long answer to fix your solution.
This is a project architecture issue!
SOLUTION:
What you need to do is look in to all your dependant project's pom.xml file and the maven dependencies folder in your local project and try to resolve all the missing dependency jars in your maven dependency folder. If you have a referenced library, I suggest moving those jars into your local project's maven dependency folder.
You have to work your way into solving every child project and then navigate into your root project and fix every single project by using Maven -> Build -> clean install (check off "skip tests" & "resolve workspace artifacts") until every project builds with a clean success.
most likely, when you force update your entire solution to all your projects, you will get a list of errors that you have the IDE auto-resolve. The auto-resolve will refer to a easy reference to fix the issue. But to deploy, you have to manually fix the project because Eclipse, Spring & Maven will work well together but there are maybe a few things they don't agree on. So, you have to play diplomat in those situations and figure it out.
That's the sad truth.
All said, I have a list of problems in my project. I have this issue. The war file generated has empty jar folders and the build is not clean without errors unless i force it. The WAR file generate will run a 404 error on tomcat server production and my angular application will throw a Cors-Error when executing the API.
All the errors on my front end project is artificial because the root of all issues is the WAR file generated. It did not generate with dependencies, the Main project did not execute in tomcat and tomcat server cannot run the spring initializer to deploy the cors-policy on the server to allow my angular application to communicate. But all in all, development environment works fine with no issues.
So that is my long ended solution for this thread.
I had the same error from a different cause: I'd created a starter POM containing our "good practice" dependencies, and built & installed it locally to test it. I could "see" it in the repo, but a project that used it got the above error. What I'd done was set the starter POM to pom, so there was no JAR. Maven was quite correct that it wasn't in Nexus -- but I wasn't expecting it to be, so the error was, ummm, unhelpful. Changing the starter POM to normal packaging & reinstalling fixed the issue.
In my case I had to add mavenLocal() in root level gradle dependency
mavenCentral()
mavenLocal()
