Check the spring-data-jpa version in spring-boot-starter-data-jpa - spring-boot

As in question the pom.xml from started does not provide the version information

Using dependency tree we can see versions of all dependencies in the maven project.
mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose

Expand the maven dependencies folder in the project explorer of the IDE.
The version number is present at the end of the file name, like
spring-boot-starter-data-jpa-2.5.5.jar
Here 2.5.5 is the version number of the corresponding file.

There are couple of ways you can find the version.
One option is to verify the version downloaded from you IDE or from you .m2 folder
If you want to know where the version is specified you need to travel through the <parent> tag mentioned in the pom.xml. In the case of Spring Boot Data JPA Starter pom.xml the version is specified in spring-boot-build pom.xml within the properties tag. You can check the below link for the pom.xml definition :
spring-boot-build pom.xml

maven is wrongly using the version number I provided, why

I introduced org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:7.14.0 in pom.xml, but I ended up using the version number 7.12.1 provided in springboot, why?
I need the 7.14.0 version
End-use version
spring-boot-dependencies[pom.xml]
easy-es-parent[pom.xml] |
easy-es-common[pom.xml]
This is my complete pom.xml file

In Maven, any transitive dependency-version might be used, you could try to explicitly state in the POM which version for that given dependency you want to have.
With maven dependency-plugin, it should be transparent which dependency-version will be effective:
mvn dependency:tree

Why doesn't the dependency contain a jar in the maven public repository https://mvnrepository.com?

I a maven rookie and am wondering how to get a binary jar file if it is not already in the repo. Specifically i'm in need of: jackson-dataformats-text-2.13.0.jar. Do I need to build it myself? I'm used to creating a project and marking a library as a dependency and seeing the jar downloaded into my .m2 cache but all i see in my cache is:
jchan#jchan-Z170N:~/.m2/repository/com/fasterxml/jackson/dataformat/jackson-dataformats-text/2.13.0$ ls
jackson-dataformats-text-2.13.0.jar.lastUpdated jackson-dataformats-text-2.13.0.pom.sha1
jackson-dataformats-text-2.13.0.pom _remote.repositories
Can someone advise how I am to get a built version of the jar from maven central?
We are still maintaining our ant build and I need the jar file for this. (i know i know, ancient stuff but team is not ready to port just yet).
parent pom don't contain jar file
This is the reason why no bundle link is present on the official public maven repository https://mvnrepository.com
The maven dependency is not a jar, is a parent. So the extension is: .pom which is just a plain pom.xml
Parent dependencies don't contain compiled class like .jar.
In your specific case, there are another dependencies who contains jars:
https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/fasterxml/jackson/dataformat/jackson-dataformat-yaml/2.13.0/
https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/fasterxml/jackson/dataformat/jackson-dataformat-xml/2.13.0/
advice
Check what classes do you need on your ant project and search if exist a jar (with the classes you need) on https://mvnrepository.com
Another option is to get all the dependencies from pom :
https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/fasterxml/jackson/dataformat/jackson-dataformats-text/2.9.0/jackson-dataformats-text-2.9.0.pom and download them into your ant project. In theory is the same of add the parent pom in a maven project

Why there is a pom.xml for all jars in mave repository

In the maven repository, there is a pom.xml corresponding to every jar. What is the use of that pom.xml.
How important is that pom.xml and will the execution work without that pom.xml ? Thanks in advance.
Each of those jars is a project (somewhere) that was built using Maven - hence the need for a pom. Also, the pom describes all the transitive dependencies for any jar that your project needs. Those files are important, and your project cannot build without them.

Retain higher version of Maven Dependency

I am including another pom file as parent in my current maven project.
There is a dependency for hibernate 3.3.2 defined in parent pom file.
I want to use the latest version of hibernate 4.3.5 in my current project. my question is how to exclude the older version so that antlr and other dependencies gets properly generated in my war file.
I also want my war file not to have duplicate jar files
Please help
Just put the version you want in your own POM file.
When there are multiple versions of same artifact resolved transitively (through parent, or through transitive dependencies), Maven is going to resolve find the version to use. Normally it use the "nearest" one. If you are declaring the dependency in the POM of the project itself, it will always be the "nearest" and hence will be used.
In your case, just put hibernate:4.3.5 in your POM, and hence this version will be taken instead of hibernate:3.3.2 (which is declared in parent), no related transitive dependencies of hibernate:3.3.2 will be included in project.
Just one thing to be careful: such kind of version resolution is done only for same artifact, which means, artifact with same Group ID and Artifact ID. If the old version in parent is org.hibernate:hibernate:3.3.2 while the newer version is org.hibernate:hibernate-core:4.3.5, it will not work. In such case, you need some trick to explicitly exclude the dependency from parent, for which you can look into https://stackoverflow.com/a/7898553/395202 for one method.

Netbeans: maven dependencies of type pom

I've spent a lot of time and my head is blowing up already so I'll be very thankful for any help.
I'm migrating Netbeans Platform application from ant to maven, and so I'm changing all the jars in my version control repo to maven dependencies. I've found needed artifact in main maven repo and I've added it as a dependency with a help of Netbeans, but it's of type POM and was placed in Non-classpath Dependencies and I have no idea how to use it as it wasn't added to classpath etc…
Can someone explain what are these POM dependencies and how to use them?
Thank you in advance!!
EDIT
here is dependency definition in pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>com.kitfox.svg</groupId>
<artifactId>svg-salamander</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
Adding a pom dependency only pulls down transitive dependencies, that is jar dependencies defined as dependencies in the pom. The pom does not get added on the classpath for obvious reasons, but the transitive dependencies reachable from pom will be added to classpath.
What you ideally need to do is have dependencies of type jar Default dependency type is jar and you can simply define dependencies without any type element in the dependency section.
If you have located the jar files you need in Maven Cental, then you simply need to provide groupId artifactId and version for each one of those in dependencies section.
Personally I cannot think of any case when one would need to add pom type dependency. I usually use pom packaging for parent module in a project (specify common project configuration like plugin versions, common dependencies, like log4j for example, repositories, properties etc.) and for utility package module (the one that assembles the project and does some other necessary things).
Judging from my experience (I did it several times), when migrating project from ant to maven you should take all the jar files that your project used to depend on and convert them into maven dependencies (groupId:artifactId:version). Most probably all of these dependencies will not have any <type> (e.g. be jars).
