Excluding "provided" libraries from MobileFirst Maven builds - maven

I have added a <scope>provided</scope> dependency to my Maven pom.xml for my Java adapter, because the referenced jars are provided by my application server, but Maven install is still including the jars in the .adapter file.
Is this the expected behavior? Is this a Maven issue, or something related to MobileFirst platform foundations use of it? The MFP provided libraries seem to not be included.
Not included in .adapter file:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ibm.mfp</groupId>
<artifactId>adapter-maven-api</artifactId>
<scope>provided</scope>
<version>8.0.2017012516</version>
</dependency>
Included:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-lang3</artifactId>
<version>3.3</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Maven: 1.7.4 openejb dependancy fails

Wanted to make use of openejb on top of tomcat v7 using maven instead of installing tomee. Referring to Apache documentation, 3 dependencies have to be added to the maven project.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.openejb</groupId>
<artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
<version>6.0-6</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.openejb</groupId>
<artifactId>openejb-core</artifactId>
<version>4.7.4</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.openejb</groupId>
<artifactId>tomee</artifactId>
<version>1.7.4</version>
</dependency>
but the last depency generates following error: Missing artifact org.apache.openejb:tomee:jar:1.7.4
The correct artifactId being visible in:
http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.openejb/apache-tomee/1.7.4
is apache-tomee and not tomee
so, replace the last depency by the following one and the problem will be solved:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.openejb</groupId>
<artifactId>apache-tomee</artifactId>
<version>1.7.4</version>
</dependency>

why is the scope of RestEasy compile in the pom.xml when the container (JBOSS) provides it?

Here is the relevant portion of pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
<artifactId>resteasy-jackson-provider</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.spec</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-javaee-all-5.0</artifactId>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Why is the scope of resteasy compile (which is default, when none is provided) but that of javax.servlet is provided. I am deploying this on Jboss which ships with resteasy. so shouldn't the scope of resteasy be provided as well?
and btw, I do not see any version mentioned. so what is the default version that gets picked up?
If you are using jboss 7, resteasy-jackson-provider is included, so it would be correct to use a provided scope.
I guess default version is being picked up from a bom declared in the dependencyManagement section of your pom, could that be right?
For older jboss versions, resteasy is not included, so you will have to add the jars to your WEB-INF/lib directory.
Necessary jars can be obtained using maven (compile scope) or check out this link http://www.mastertheboss.com/jboss-frameworks/resteasy/resteasy-tutorial
The RESTEasy API and runtime is provided by newer versions of JBoss. Usually you import a Java EE-spec pom in the dependencyManagaement section and add the needed APIs in the dependency section, e.g for JBoss AS7:
<dependencyManagement>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.spec</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-javaee-6.0</artifactId>
<version>3.0.2.Final</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.spec.javax.ws.rs</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-jaxrs-api_1.1_spec</artifactId>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
The runtime will use the JSON-Provider which is found on the classpath. So it makes sense to add them with scope compile to your project. If you want to use Jettison you'd add following to your pom:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
<artifactId>resteasy-jettison-provider</artifactId>
</dependency>
If you don't add one your application server may provide a default one. JBoss AS7 / Wildfly for instance will use resteasy-jackson-provider if you don't add a provider to the classpath.
JBoss 5 does not provide the JAX-RS libs as far as I know so there it makes sense to add the resteasy-jackson-provider with scope compile.

SolrJ with Maven

I am a newbie in Solr and maven and i want to make a small application that index all my database tables via SolrJ .
For that i looked up at this tutorial where they are using MAVEN .
I installed the librairies and jars (except maven) but i had this exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/HttpRequestInterceptor
I looked into the tutorial and i saw that for resolving this problem we need to add this to my maven configuration:
org.slf4j
slf4j-simple
1.5.6
Is there anyway to do that without maven?
Thank you
Use maven. Even with it, it took me a fairly considerable amount of time to get the dependencies right. The tutorials were all a bit lacking. Below is my pom.xml with the relevant dependencies that I had maven bring in. Perhaps it will help you.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.solr</groupId>
<artifactId>solr-core</artifactId>
<version>4.3.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<artifactId>solr-solrj</artifactId>
<groupId>org.apache.solr</groupId>
<version>4.3.0</version>
<type>jar</type>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
<version>1.1.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
</dependency>
Maven is the suggested build technology for the Solrj, because it automates the management of 3rd party dependencies. Without dependency management it's a royal pain to decipher these relationships (Jar hell).
What I could suggest is to use ivy, which has a command-line mode.
First download the ivy jar
http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/apache/ivy/ivy/2.3.0/ivy-2.3.0.jar
To retrieve the following Maven module and all it's dependencies:
<dependency>
<artifactId>solr-solrj</artifactId>
<groupId>org.apache.solr</groupId>
<version>1.4.0</version>
<type>jar</type>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
Then run it as follows:
java -jar ivy.jar \
-dependency org.apache.solr solr-solrj 1.4.0 \
-retrieve "lib/[artifact]-[revision](-[classifier]).[ext]" \
-confs default
Retrieves into the lib directory:
lib/commons-httpclient-3.1.jar
lib/wstx-asl-3.2.7.jar
lib/slf4j-api-1.5.5.jar
lib/commons-codec-1.3.jar
lib/stax-api-1.0.1.jar
lib/geronimo-stax-api_1.0_spec-1.0.1.jar
lib/commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
lib/solr-solrj-1.4.0.jar
lib/commons-io-1.4.jar
lib/commons-fileupload-1.2.1.jar
Update
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/HttpRequestInterceptor
This is due to a missing httpcore.jar file. I found this out by browsing Maven Central:
http://search.maven.org/#search|ga|1|fc%3A%22org.apache.http.HttpRequestInterceptor%22
The recommendation on using the "slf4j-simple" is to provide a logging implementation in case your application doesn't have one.
Finally... This demonstrates what I've tried to say. In the absence of a dependency management tool (ivy, groovy, Maven) you're on your own in deciphering the 3rd party jar dependencies.

multiple SLF4J bindings Error with activemq-all-5.6.0.jar

When I upgrade to activemq-all-5.6.0
I get this error during server startup
SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings
I don't have this issue when using activemq-all-5.5.1
On checking I do find that there StaticLoggerBinder.class in both activemq-all-5.6.0.jar and slf4j-log4j12-1.5.10.jar which is causing the issue
Please do help in debugging this issue
My pom.xml is as follows
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
<version>1.5.10</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>jcl-over-slf4j</artifactId>
<version>1.5.10</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
<version>1.5.10</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
The active mq dependency is like this
Old Version 5.5.1 (This works)
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.activemq</groupId>
<artifactId>activemq-all</artifactId>
<version>5.5.1</version>
</dependency>
New Version 5.6.0 (This gives the error)
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.activemq</groupId>
<artifactId>activemq-all</artifactId>
<version>5.6.0</version>
</dependency>
Thanks in advance.
The ActiveMQ guys use the Maven Shade Plugin to create the activemq-all "ueber" jar. Somewhere between version 5.5.1 and 5.6.0 they added the org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12 dependency - hence your problem.
Unfortunately because they used the shade plugin you can not use exclusions in your activemq-all dependency definition in your POM.
Instead you will need to completely replace the activemq-all dependency with all the required individual dependencies (except of course the org.sl4j-log4j12 one).
The following page details all the required dependencies:
http://activemq.apache.org/initial-configuration.html#InitialConfiguration-RequiredJARs
Alternatively the following is the list of all dependencies (required and optional) included in the activemq-all jar (taken from the configuration of the shade plugin in the activemq-all pom):
org.apache.activemq:activemq-camel
org.apache.activemq:activemq-core
org.apache.activemq:activemq-console
org.apache.activemq:activemq-jaas
org.apache.activemq:activemq-optional
org.apache.activemq:kahadb
org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-jms_1.1_spec
org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-jta_1.0.1B_spec
org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-j2ee-management_1.1_spec
org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-annotation_1.0_spec
org.slf4j:slf4j-api
org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12
log4j:log4j
Hope that helps.
I had the same problem while using Spring. What helped me was replacing the dependency of activemq-all with:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.activemq</groupId>
<artifactId>activemq-spring</artifactId>
<version>5.14.3</version>
</dependency>
Hope this will help anyone...

pig-0.9.0.pom does not contain all its runtime dependencies, like pig-0.8.1-cdh3u1.pom

maven noob, be patient...
I'm upgrading from cdh3u1 to apache hadoop 0.20.203.0 and pig 0.9.0. I used to have:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
<artifactId>hadoop-core</artifactId>
<version>0.20.2-cdh3u1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.pig</groupId>
<artifactId>pig</artifactId>
<version>0.8.1-cdh3u1</version>
</dependency>
and running them from inside eclipse, with junit run configuration worked great.
Now I have:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
<artifactId>hadoop-core</artifactId>
<version>0.20.203.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.pig</groupId>
<artifactId>pig</artifactId>
<version>0.9.0</version>
</dependency>
and I got NoClassDefFoundError: jline/ConsoleReaderInputStream on runtime.
I ended with adding all these dependencies manually until it worked:
<dependency>
<groupId>jline</groupId>
<artifactId>jline</artifactId>
<version>0.9.94</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.antlr</groupId>
<artifactId>antlr-runtime</artifactId>
<version> 3.2 </version> <- this is 3.0.1 in cdh3u1, but probably changed in pig 0.9.0
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
<artifactId>guava</artifactId>
<version>r06</version>
</dependency>
What gives? why isn't maven automatically pulling my dependencies and putting them in the classpath?
Maven has a feature called Transitive dependencies, so you don´t have to specify the libraries that your own dependencies require.
ConsoleReaderInputStream is in the Jline JAR. When you were using Pig.0.8.1-cdh3u1, you didn´t have to add the Jline dependency because it is declared in Pig.0.8.1-cdh3u1.pom. Pig 0.9.0.pom does not have Jline dependency declared anymore, that´s the reason you had to add it by yourself. As for the reason JLine was removed from Pig, you have to ask the developers of that project.
