Failure to find com.oracle.state-management:state-management-parent:pom:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT - oracle

Question

I can't remember what I did to cause this problem. When I try to run mvn clean install, I get the following output:
mvn clean install

The attempt to find com.oracle.state-management.executor-internal-api_12.1.2:jar:12.1.2 (Note the version: 12.1.2) fails because it originates from the dependency com.oracle.state-management.executor-internal-api_12.1.2 (version 12.1.2 too) while this dependency's pom has the following portion:
<parent>
<artifactId>state-management-parent</artifactId>
<groupId>com.oracle.state-management</groupId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<relativePath>../../parent/pom.xml</relativePath>
</parent>
What surprises me is that there is another version for this dependency (com.oracle.state-management.executor-internal-api_12.1.2) which is 12.1.2-0-0, I believe that this is the right version to refer to, not 12.1.2
What I think supports my assumption is that the output mentions that it failed to find sfl4j dependency with the version 12.1.2 !!
[WARNING] The POM for org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:12.1.2 is missing, no dependency information available
I refer to weblogic's dependency this way
<dependency>
<groupId>com.oracle.weblogic</groupId>
<artifactId>weblogic-server-pom</artifactId>
<version>12.1.2-0-0</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
How can I fix that ?

Answer 1

For some unearthly reason, weblogic's dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>com.oracle.weblogic</groupId>
<artifactId>weblogic-server-pom</artifactId>
<version>12.1.2-0-0</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
had the following version for it's dependencies
<dependency>
<groupId>com.oracle.weblogic</groupId>
<artifactId>weblogic</artifactId>
<version>[12.1.2,12.1.3)</version>
</dependency>
To resolve this, I replaced all [12.1.2,12.1.3) occurrences with 12.1.2-0-0 and now I can install my project again.
I would really appreciate it if someone tells me why was the POM generated this way ?!
