Mule copies Maven dependencies into env.M2_REPO folder - maven

I am using Anypoint Studio 6.2 with Mule 3.8.1 runtime and Maven 3.3.9 and when I build my project, the Maven dependencies are written to a project folder called ${env.M2_REPO} instead of my usual Maven repository c:/users/my.name/.m2.
How can I change it back to c:/users/my.name/.m2 and stop this folder from being created?
It is causing errors to show in the Mule Problems tab saying "missing libraries" but when I move them from the ${env.M2_REPO} folder to c:/users/my.name/.m2 the problems go away.

The issue was that in the settings.xml file in the Maven application folder, the default repository was set to env.M2_REPO instead of the .m2 location. Changed it to .m2 and all working correctly.

right click on project--> Java Build Path-->Add Variable --> configure
variables--> Classpath variables--> new
-----------OR---------------
preferences-->Java--> Build path--> classpath variables
name: M2_REPO
path: location of repo
Update1:
right click on project, you will see something like this.
first time click on
populate maven repository
..
If your problem still didn't fixed then click on
Update project dependencies
.. This is how it fixed my problem few months back.

Importing to IntelliJ - Error package org.springframework.boot does not exist

Dear Stackoverflow Community, I have the following problem with my spring boot starter application. I imported the starter project as a new maven project into IntelliJ. But IntelliJ does not find the dependencies I specified in the pom.
Image of my Application Class:
If I try to run the project I get the following error message.
Image of the Error Message:
I already tried everything from re-installing IntelliJ to re-importing the project or redownloading the dependencies. I simply dont know why IntelliJ doesn´t find the dependencies.
My pom.xml looks as following
Image of my pom.xml:
The first time I tried to edit the pom.xml it said to me "this file does not belong to the project". Maybe this might be one reason.
Running the whole thing with 'mvn install' or 'mvn clean verify' works.
Try this and then build: mvn -U idea:idea
Had the same problem. I have tried everything: invalidating cache, deleting the whole .m2 folder, changing settings, reloding the project, nothing helped.
The solution for me was to delete the .iml files which are IntelliJ module files used for keeping module configuration. After reopening the project it worked.
The idea was not mine, I found the hint here: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/203365204--package-does-not-exist-error-despite-autocomplete-being-aware-of-them
Sometimes your workspace could get corrupted.
In my case, I tried to Reload the project and it worked
in my case changed JDK version in Maven importer from JDK 11 to my local JDK version 1.8
Here is how my IntelliJ settings for spring boot application looks like
Click open -> browse your workspace -> and select POM.xml file
Check this in your intelliJ settings
Do this too [Settings --> Maven --> Importing]
I just had the same issue. My solution was to remove all dependencies from the pom, reload via maven -> Reload All Maven Projects. Run mvn compile. Add dependencies back to the pom, maven -> Reload All Maven Projects. Run mvn compile.
Now the Intellij build works.
You need to change Maven's JDK for importing option from Project JDK to the Path variable for Java on your machine.
You can get to this by going to Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Maven -> Importing. Scroll down to the bottom and look for JDK for importing:. Select from the list the path variable for JAVA.
For Windows users, JAVA_HOME should be an option in the drop-down list.
Follow these steps, your problem should be solved. You just need to add Spring-framework-starter-web and Spring-framework-starter-tester from your pom.xml file.
Got to generate(ALT+Insert)
Add dependencies
Search "springframwork"

In my case, adding the project as maven project helped .

Maven Project in Eclipse `org.springframework cannot be resolved to a type` from target path

I've rolled onto a maven project that when I run mvn clean install from command line builds and runs fine. I had this project displaying in Eclipse without errors earlier in the week before I hosed my system. This makes me think I have a configuration wrong and hoping someone can give me a sanity check.
Inside of Eclipse, I'm seeing reported errors related to org.springframework cannot be resolved to a type in files in paths like <project_path>/target/<project>-<version>/WEB-INF/... What is catching my eye is that path of target which is a derived folder.
Maven Dependencies Showing:
Facets Enabled:
Project Explorer View:
From the above screenshots, you can see that the related jar files are pulled properly from the maven dependencies. Any ideas on what I have misconfigured and why I'm seeing the errors from the target path?
The build and WebContent folders indicate that you haven't properly imported Maven project into the Eclipse, hence errors.
One of the way to fix this:
Delete project from the Eclipse.
Go to project folder and delete all not needed folders. (Leave src).
Go to Eclipse click File -> Import..., select Existing Maven Projects, select your project folder, Finish.

Maven takes dependency from workspace and not from local repository

I have a web maven project in eclipse, one of its dependencies is a j2se maven project that I have in the same workspace. Something curious to me is that I believed that all dependencies declared in a maven project were taken from the remote repository or a local repository but its not, I mean; even I havent done a maven install to my j2se java project(so its not located in the local repository), when I create a war from the web project this jar is included.
I think this behaviour is because of eclipse and not maven and eclipse will always takes this dependency from the workspace
2 Because of this I can change the j2se project and not have to do a maven install ever to this project,
From the point of view of maven, I should do a maven install to my j2se project in order the web project takes the dependency from the repository and not from workspace, right?
Thanks
Yes, Eclipse m2e will by default try to resolve dependencies from the workspace. In case it's not present in the workspace, it will try to resolve it from the ArtifactRepositories(your local and remote repos).
In case you want to turn off the workspace resolution, you can do that by right clicking on the Project and selecting Maven.If you uncheck that check-box, the dependencies for that particular project won't be resolved from the workspace.

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.

m2eclipse says "Missing artifact" but I can build from cmdline!

I'm trying to use this Sonatype Eclipse plugin for the first time to handle an existing (huge) software that I can build with maven form the command line.
I have configured the plugin to use my maven 2.2.1 installation instead of the built-in Maven 3.
In Eclipse I have 25 projects (loaded through the root pom.xml) and 4 of them have compilation errors; the maven console contains a lot of lines like this one:
Missing artifact commons-logging:commons-logging:jar:1.0.4:compile
I have all the jars in my repository and the M2_REPO classpath variable correctly defined. Why the plugin doesn't see all the jars?
The .classpath file of those projects simply references "MAVEN2_CLASSPATH_CONTAINER", there isn't a list of the jars.
The pom.xml in Eclipse shows an error on the first line for the missing jars but I can build from the command line!
Any idea? I need help! I will try to move to NetBeans if I don't solve this problem.
Thank you.
You may need to to tell Eclipse to force update:
Project -> Maven -> Update Maven Project
and then make sure you have selected:
Force Updates of Snapshots/Releases
this happens when mvn install copies some jar files into Maven repository and Eclipse had checked this repo BEFORE this jar has been copied there.
If Dependency management is enabled when the above problems occur in Eclipse you can Project > Maven > Disable Dependency Management and then \Project > Maven > Enable Dependency Management. This normally remove any dependency errors in the pom.xml.
Also do as #Nishant indicated in his answer above after the above steps to complete the projects dependencies.
right click on your project > Maven > Update Dependencies
then
right click on your project > Maven > Update Project configuration
Assuming you M2Eclipse plugin is installed correctly this should solve the issue. Also, check if there is an option right click project > Maven > Enable dependency Management select that.
Using Eclipse Kepler, the removing and re-adding of the maven nature fixed this same issue I was having. What this process actually did was modify the .settings/org.eclipse.m2e.core.prefs file, changing the line
resolveWorkspaceProjects=false
to
resolveWorkspaceProjects=true
So you could probably make this change manually if you had to.
Adding my 2c for future Googlers:
Whenever this problem shows up, I delete the corresponding folder from the m2 repository (on a mac it's on ~/.m2/repository) and build again from eclipse with clean install.
Works every single time.
Close eclipse IDE and open it again, this issue should be fixed.
Just to add yet another possible resolution, if you have a multi-project build with interdependencies, if you have a repository defined in a child project pom to resolve a specific dependency that only that project depends on and it is relying on a partent project for it's other resolutions it fails to see those dependencies in the child project (even though it works from the command line).
Move the repo definition to the parent pom.
The lack of jars in the build path suggests you haven't enabled Maven dependencies. Right-click on the project, select Maven, select "Enable Maven Dependency Management". This allows M2Eclipse to reference your POM.
I finally found a workaround. It is surely a bug in m2eclipse, however the problem disappeared when I added quartz-1.6.0.pom next to quartz-1.6.0.jar in .m2\repository\opensymphony\quartz\1.6.0\
The pom is not present at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/opensymphony/quartz/1.6.0/ but you can extract it from quartz-1.6.0-bundle.jar linket at http://jira.opensymphony.com/browse/QUARTZ-482
It's a strange solution but it worked on the PCs of my collegues too.
None of the other suggestions worked, but the following steps worked for me (SpringSource Tool Suite 2.6.1):
Back up the contents of the local Maven repository
Delete the repository
Project > Maven > Update Dependencies
Replace anything not available in a public repository from the backup
If disabling and enabling project dependency management doesn't help (usualy it helps) you can modify .classpath file in your project and add a line:
<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.m2e.MAVEN2_CLASSPATH_CONTAINER"/>
After eclipse restart dependencies should be added.
I had this same problem happened to me. On the CLI clean install, then on eclipse delete the dependency, paste it again and that did the trick.
Remove all the artifacts except the jar in maven local repository
Late answer: In my case I had multiple profiles in settings.xml. Building worked since the correct profile was selected in the Maven Build run config, but the editors showed errors because the profile was not selected via Project -> Maven -> Select Maven Profiles ...
