Why can't I resolve the dependencies for GeoTools maven quickstart? - maven

Question

POM is
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

I get the error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project tutorial: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.geotools:tutorial:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT: The following artifacts could not be resolved: org.geotools:gt-shapefile:jar:10-SNAPSHOT, org.geotools:gt-swing:jar:10-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact org.geotools:gt-shapefile:jar:10-SNAPSHOT in maven2- repository.dev.java.net (http://download.java.net/maven/2) -> [Help 1]
Why can't it resolve the artifacts. GeoTools has other instructions (which I can't get to work) but I'd like to know whats wrong with this.
Thanks

Answer 1

The issue occurs because the org.geotools:gt-shapefile:jar:10-SNAPSHOT does not exist at either http://download.java.net/maven/2 or http://download.osgeo.org/webdav/geotools. All you have to do is define the snapshot repository for the GeoTools as it is mentioned at the GeoTools:Maven Quick Start as the following: -
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>maven2-repository.dev.java.net</id>
<name>Java.net repository</name>
<url>http://download.java.net/maven/2</url>
</repository>
<repository>
<id>osgeo</id>
<name>Open Source Geospatial Foundation Repository</name>
<url>http://download.osgeo.org/webdav/geotools/</url>
</repository>
<repository> <!--Add the snapshot repository here-->
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
<id>opengeo</id>
<name>OpenGeo Maven Repository</name>
<url>http://repo.opengeo.org</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
I hope this may help.

Answer 2

Some of the repositories in above answers have been moved to alternative addresses. Adding the following repositories solved the issue for me.
<repository>
<id>osgeo-alt</id>
<url>https://repo.osgeo.org/repository/release/</url>
</repository>
<repository>
<id>geomajas</id>
<name>Geomajas Maven Repository</name>
<url>http://maven.geomajas.org/(http://maven.geomajas.org/)</url>
</repository>

Answer 3

Current available osgeo repo:
<repository>
<id>geotools</id>
<name>Geotools repository</name>
<!--<url>http://download.osgeo.org/webdav/geotools/</url>-->
<url>https://repo.osgeo.org/repository/geotools-releases/</url>
</repository>

Answer 4

http://download.java.net/maven/2 repository is gone
New updates, New way to add geotools dependency in your project, copy below xml file in your build.xml
<properties>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
<geotools.version>19-SNAPSHOT</geotools.version>
</properties>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.opencsv</groupId>
<artifactId>opencsv</artifactId>
<version>3.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.geotools</groupId>
<artifactId>gt-shapefile</artifactId>
<version>${geotools.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>4.11</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.geotools</groupId>
<artifactId>gt-swing</artifactId>
<version>${geotools.version}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>osgeo</id>
<name>Open Source Geospatial Foundation Repository</name>
<url>http://download.osgeo.org/webdav/geotools/</url>
</repository>
<repository>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
<id>boundless</id>
<name>Boundless Maven Repository</name>
<url>http://repo.boundlessgeo.com/main</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
It works

Answer 5

You should add Boundless repository and write https indtead of http:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>maven2-repository.dev.java.net</id>
<name>Java.net repository</name>
<url>http://download.java.net/maven/2</url>
</repository>
<repository>
<id>osgeo</id>
<name>Open Source Geospatial Foundation Repository</name>
<url>https://download.osgeo.org/webdav/geotools/</url>
</repository>
<repository>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
<id>boundless</id>
<name>Boundless Maven Repository</name>
<url>https://repo.boundlessgeo.com/main/</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
It will make the things work.
