maven repository setup not working - maven

I am referencing a repository in my POM.xml to add the ojdbc.jar to my project but Maven (I use the STS plugin) keeps telling me it can't find the jar.
I am showing below my repositories and jar dependency as defined in my POM.xml.
Anyone has an idea as to why the jar can't be found? Is my POM.xml not setup properly?
Note the vaadin repo works fine as the vaadin jars are correctly added to my project.
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>myrepo</id>
<url>http://mvnrepository.com/</url>
</repository>
<repository>
<id>vaadin-addons</id>
<url>http://maven.vaadin.com/vaadin-addons</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
and here is the dependency setup as defined at http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/ojdbc/ojdbc/14:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>ojdbc</groupId>
<artifactId>ojdbc</artifactId>
<version>14</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

Anyone has an idea as to why the jar can't be found?
The jar can't be found due to license constraints.
Is my POM.xml not setup properly?
No it isn't, but adding to your pom the dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>ojdbc</groupId>
<artifactId>ojdbc</artifactId>
<version>14</version>
</dependency>
you are able to download only the ojdbc14 pom because it has not a license limitation about distribution.
In order to make the above dependency works the jar has to be manually installed into your local Maven repository, without violating the license, by running:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile={Path_to_your_ojdbc.jar} -DgroupId=ojdbc
-DartifactId=ojdbc -Dversion=14 -Dpackaging=jar
eventually changing to the appropriate version number in -Dversion attribute, as correctly suggested by user1570577.

To use Oracle jdbc(OJDBC) driver with Maven, you can download the jar to your local machine and install it manually into your Maven local repository.
After downloading the jar install using the following command :
mvn install:install-file -Dfile={Path_to_your_ojdbc.jar} -DgroupId=com.oracle
-DartifactId=ojdbc -Dversion=14 -Dpackaging=jar . If the version is less than 14 change the appropriate version number in -Dversion attribute
Now you can set the dependency details in the pom file :
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
<artifactId>ojdbc</artifactId>
<version>14</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

Oracle now has a maven repository: maven.oracle.com

How to add craftbukkit to minecraft 1.19.3 plugin as dependency?

I am trying to update a plugin [in 1.18.2] that I haven't written myself to minecraft 1.19.3.
However I am struggling with figuring out how to add craftbukkit as a dependency. I use maven and it seems to be unfindable for 1.19.3 in the mvnrepository.com. Further investigation led me to buildtools, which I ran and it did give me several folders and jar files, one of which is craftbukkit, spigot and bukkit.
However trying to add those jar files as dependencies also gave me errors of referencing to a non-existing file. Even though the file does exist in the resource folder of the project.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.bukkit</groupId>
<artifactId>craftbukkit</artifactId>
<version>1.19.3-R0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>/GUIMarketplaceDirectory-master/src/main/resources/craftbukkit-1.19.3.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
I also tried changing the path to start at my very source folder, but this didn't work. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm not sure you can add CraftBukkit as a dependency. It needs to be either bukkit, or spigot, since CraftBukkit is a server mod, not the plugin API. Here is code for a Spigot import.
<repositories>
<!-- This adds the Spigot Maven repository to the build -->
<repository>
<id>spigot-repo</id>
<url>https://hub.spigotmc.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>

mvn- look for wrong url in maven repositories

When I run mvn package to compile a maven project it downloads the jar file from
wrong URLs. It adds org/dnosproject/ to the URL which is wrong.
Downloading: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.github.dnos-project/dnos-lib-all/org/dnosproject/onos-port-protobuf/1.1.5/onos-port-protobuf-1.1.5.jar
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>dnos-lib-all</id>
<name>dnos-lib</name>
<url>https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.github.dnos-project/dnos-lib-all</url>
<layout>default</layout>
</repository>
</repositories>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.github.dnos-project</groupId>
<artifactId>dnos-lib-all</artifactId>
<version>1.1.5</version>
</dependency>
The website mvnrepository.com is a kind of search engine across multiple real Maven repositories. If you look at the link you mentioned in your <repository/> configuration, you'll notice they list that dependency as available in "Central", in fact here. "Central" is configured by default, so you don't need a <repository/> configuration for this dependency. Instead, you just need the correct <dependency/> entry:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.github.dnos-project</groupId>
<artifactId>dnos-lib-all</artifactId>
<version>1.1.5</version>
</dependency>
You already had this in the snippet you posted, so just removing the <repository/> configuration should do the trick.

spring use library version not in the mvn repository

I'm trying to use spring-session-jdbc:2.0.0.RC2 which is not listed in https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.session/spring-session-jdbc/1.3.1.RELEASE
spring session github has newer version than mvnrepository.
How can I add the dependency of the new version in the pom.xml file?
To obtain dependencies that aren't on the central mvn repository, you must communicate to your project that you need it to point to an additional repository. In your case, this snippet, added to your pom, should do:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>spring-milestone-repository</id>
<name></name>
<url>http://repo.spring.io/milestone/</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
After declaring this, you just add this to your dependencies, and it will be downloaded:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.session</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-session-jdbc</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0.M2</version>
</dependency>

Maven cannot resolve a jar which I can see on the repository

I specify wicket version 1.5-RC7 in my pom.xml. When I do a mvn install it complains about: The following artifacts could not be resolved: org.apache.wicket:wicket:jar:1.5-RC7, javax.transaction:jta:jar:1.0.1B. So I try searching for the javax.transaction.jta-1.0.1B.jar on mvnrepository.com, and I am able to find it. Why does maven tell me it can't resolve avax.transaction:jta:jar:1.0.1B?
My pom.xml:

First, http://repo1.maven.org/maven2 is the default one that Maven will lookup. You don't need to declare it again.
Can you check, when you build, which server your Maven is trying to connect? You should see something like Downloading: http://whatever.com/path/to/dependencies.pom.
I have just checked in maven central repo, there is no org.apache.wicket:wicket:1.5-RC7. You have better to check if you have declared the correct dependency
For JTA, it is a bit tricky. For quite some Java spec JARs, because of licensing issue, the actual JAR is not available in the public central Maven repo. If you look at http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails|javax.transaction|jta|1.0.1B|jar , you will see it only contains POM, but not the JAR.
There are some ways to solve:
If you have a Maven repo in your own company, consider getting the JAR from Sun/Oracle, and deploy it yourself
For JTA spec itself, JAR is available for newer version (1.1) . Check if it is fine for you to use to latter spec
Switch to use Geromino spec. It should be compatible. http://search.maven.org/#search|gav|1|g%3A%22geronimo-spec%22%20AND%20a%3A%22geronimo-spec-jta%22
Edit
I have missed the wicket 1.5-RC7 in my previous search. Sorry. After looking into the POM, it seems that it is not a JAR POM. org.apache.wicket:wicket:1.5-RC7 is of type POM, in which declares dependency to wicket-core artifact.
You have two ways to do:
Change your dependency to point to wicket-core (and maybe other wicket modules) instead of wicket.
Change your dependency declaration to have <type>pom</type> (because default is jar)
I am not familiar with Wicket, but I believe method 1 is preferred.
Check your ~/.m2/settings.xml, I'm guessing you have an internal company (Nexus) repo mirror/proxy setting avoiding you fetching from internet -- and this mirror is stale.
If this is the case there are two common way to fix it: fix your internal Nexus repo so it's up to date, or bypass the Nexus repo so you fetch from the internet
I had faced this issue just now and resolved it. I have seen lot of questions in stack overflow related to this . Since my resolution was slightly different I am posting this answer. .
Issue :-Failed to execute goal on project Apigee-Edge-deploy-plugin: Could not resolve dependencies for project io.apigee.build-tools.enterprise4g:Apigee-Edge-deploy-plugin:maven-plugin:1.0.0: The following artifacts could not be resolved:
Root Cause:- The Repo had the dependency jars mentioned in the project. But the dependencies in turn had other dependencies which was not present in the repo and caused this issue. I added exclusion to the dependency and it worked.
eg:-
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.axis2</groupId>
<artifactId>axis2-metadata</artifactId>
<version>1.3</version>
<type>jar</type>
<scope>compile</scope>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<artifactId>woden</artifactId>
<groupId>org.apache.woden</groupId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>

Maven build issue with Hibernate for Windows

I'm getting build errors for for my Maven enabled project related to the Hibernate extension. - It's a very basic app, and I was able to solve this issue on my Linux box by manually installing some required artifacts:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=javassist -DartifactId=javassist
-Dversion=3.9.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=foo.jar
That worked out (Hibernate as a set of required deps).
But in case of Windows things are different. How do I add the dependencies manually to Maven on Windows?
1) org.hibernate:hibernate:jar:3.3.2
Try downloading the file manually from the project website.
Then, install it using the command:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.hibernate -DartifactId=hibernate -Dversion=3.3.2
-Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file
2) javassist:javassist:jar:3.9.0
Can I automate this cumbersome manual dependency installation for my coworkers on their Windows machines? Are there any helpful tools or GUI that can perform these tasks? The best way would be that Maven does it all automatically. I'm not too familiar with it jet.
Thanks for answers.
Firstly, you can manually install artifacts to your local Maven repository in Windows in exactly the same way you did on your Linux box.
Ideally, as you say, Maven will do the hard work for you. Usually you won't have to install jars manually: for most libraries Maven will know what dependencies each jar has. By default, Maven will check the central repository, and a couple of others. To access jars in other repositories, just add them to your POM, as follows:
<project>
...
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>jboss.maven2.repo</id>
<name>JBoss Maven Repo</name>
<url>http://repository.jboss.com/maven2</url>
</repository>
<!-- other repositories here -->
</repositories>
...
</project>
The JBoss repo mentioned above is a good one to add. It has a lot of common jars, including the jars for the hibernate version you mentioned above. Reference it in your pom.xml like this:
<dependencies>
<!-- ... -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
<version>3.3.2.GA</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>
<version>3.4.0.GA</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-commons-annotations</artifactId>
<version>3.3.0.ga</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
<version>3.4.0.GA</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Once you have added these dependencies, Maven will also download the libraries that these libraries depend on, and so on (including the Javassist library in your example).
Finally, as mentioned in another answer, if you have a lot of third party libraries to install for your project that don't exist in other repositories, you might want to install a repository manager like Nexus, Artifactory, or Archiva, which will allow you to perform the install commands you mentioned, through a web-based interface.
You can use mvn install:install-file on your Windows machine to install dependencies to the local repository as well
You might want to change your settings.xml to add additional repository mirrors, so you aren't relying on just central. Check out jboss, java.net, etc. You can also set up your own repository manager (like Nexus) to handle mirroring, storing your team's artifacts, etc.; and then just point each developers machine at your repository.
See Repository Management with Nexus and Reasons to use a Repository Manager for more.
I was able to solve this issue on my Linux box by manually installing some required artifacts (...)
Manually installing an artifact is a bad practice (it makes your build non portable as you're experiencing) and, actually, there is no reason to install the artifacts you're looking for manually, they're both available in the JBoss repository. So, add it to the list of "declared" repositories:
<project>
...
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>repository.jboss.org</id>
<name>Jboss Repository for Maven</name>
<url>http://repository.jboss.org/maven2</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
...
</project>
And then declare the following dependencies:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
<version>3.3.2.GA</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javassist</groupId>
<artifactId>javassist</artifactId>
<version>3.9.0.GA</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Note the dependency on hibernate-core (http://repository.jboss.org/maven2/org/hibernate/hibernate/3.3.2.GA/ contains only a pom).
