about generate maven dependency - maven

I am pretty new to maven.
Now I have a maven project developed. My another project needs to depend on this one.
Does anyone know how can I generate my own dependency? So that my second project can add the first one as a dependency in pom.
thank you very much

Since your first project is already a maven-project, just install it in your local repository by running mvn install in the first project's root directory.
Then you can include a dependency in your second project by simply referencing the groupId, artifactId and version you defined in the first project.
So if your first project had the following in its pom:
<project>
<groupId>com.yourdomain</groupId>
<artifactId>yourcomponent</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
... <!-- more here -->
you can include this in your second project:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.yourdomain</groupId>
<artifactId>yourcomponent</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Unless you deploy your project 1 jar to a central maven repository, this will only work if your jar is in your local repository (via mvn install).

Maven projects are identified by the "Maven coordinates", that is, the ArtifactID, GroupID and version.
Say you create your first project and run maven install. Your local repository (in $HOME/.m2/) will now contain the compiled project plus whatever coordinates you put in there.
Your second project must now only depend on the said coordinates.
I would suggest googling a bit on maven. I made a tutorial a long time ago that might help you, even if the examples are a little simple. Here you go and good luck!

How to fix The POM for XXX:jar:1.0 is missing, no dependency information available

We tried to build our project(Spring Boot 2.0.3 with Maven 3.3.9 dependency management)Jenkins Tool(Linux environment).Its saying build failure showing the following message in console "The POM for org.actus:ACTUS-Core-1.0:jar:1.0 is missing, no dependency information available".ACTUS is our custom java library developed by us and its in the local repository also.
This is the first time we started using Jenkins Tool. There are some other modules which depends on this same ACTUS jar.Those are also failing.I have searched for solution on internet.Some people said,make changes to settings.xml file.But in our development machine ,we cant find any such type of settings.xml file(in .m2)
remaining all dependencies are normal spring boot dependencies only.This is the only one external or custom jar.Using mvn install, we kept in maven local repo.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.actus</groupId>
<artifactId>ACTUS-Core-1.0</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
I will try to explain as much I can to solve your problem. I hope you are looking for settings.xml to update your maven Nexus repository. If you don't know about nexus repository, it's kind of public repo where you will get all open source dependency.
In your case, from your organization, you should have a private nexus repository and upload ACTUS-Core jar to there.
Then update your settings.xml file to use your company nexus repository. (Please check comments, it will be available in M2_HOME location)
So while you execute mvn install automatically it will upload in your private repository.
Now, in your pom.xml mention the same nexus repository. (It's optional)
Then, in your Jenkins script, you have updated this nexus repo.
So, the key point is you should have your own repo to upload ACTUS-Core jar and need to access the same while you building in Jenkin tool.
OR ELSE
If you find all the above activities in pain / not possible then I can suggest a short cut solution.
Create a lib folder under your project name ( same hierarchy as src) then add your ACTUS-Core.jar and commit that file along with your source code.
Then, update your pom file like below. It will work.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.test</groupId>
<artifactId>test</artifactId>
<version>11.1</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${project.basedir}/lib/fileName.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>

How to manage maven depend project from Artifactory?

Inside a Parent project i have multiple project and take this simple example Project common-3rdparty used as a depend project for Project B and in Project B pom.xml file i have added below lines
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.pre.cdd.common</groupId>
<artifactId>common-3rdparty</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<type>jar</type>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Now i am using Artifactory for dependency management and added common-3rdparty project into Artifactory but now when i am running mvn eclipse:eclipse project build successful but common-3rdparty.jar not downloaded so Project B giving exception
common-3rdparty.jar missing
So it mean somehow common-3rdparty.jar not downloaded from Artifactory . What i am doing wrong here?
EDIT:-
Now my simple question is that if i have 10 project and 9 project needed to run 10th one so we added 9 dependencies in 10th project pom.xml now what changes i have to do in Artifactory side or pom file so it will easily get depended projects.
The remote-repos contain only the remote repositories (hence the name). If you deployed the jar into Artifactory yourself, it resides in one of the local repositories, that's why maven can't find it. You should use lib-releses instead of remote-repos in your maven configuration.

How to add dependencies to pom.xml in IntelliJ 14

I have a few dependencies in Project Structure/Libraries in IntelliJ 14. How can I add them to my maven pom.xml? There is one single tutorial on IntelliJ's website that does not work for me. I don't want to manage them manually.
The proper way to do this would be to install the dependency artifacts (most likely jars) into your local maven repo, like this.
How to install artifacts to your local maven repo
And then add the dependencies into your pom.xml
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.something</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact</artifactId>
<version>1.2.3</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Yes, this does require going through each artifact manually, one at a time, but it's a one time setup process.
That is the "proper" way. After that, you can do away with library dependencies in your project structure (they will be picked up correctly via maven).
There is the alternative possibility to "hack" in your project libraries path as a sort of "embedded" maven repo in your project, but that's a little bit hacky and I wouldn't advise that.

How to resolve maven dependency explicitly from command line arguments?

I have a project A which depends on artifact B. I made some hack on B, and want to see it in A. So I don't want A to use the version in my local repository, instead, I want A to use my hacked version of B.
I'm looking for a solution that can specify my-hacked-B.jar as dependency of A, like this:
cd A && mvn package -Ddependency.org.groupB.B.jar.path=path/to/my-hacked-B.jar
Is it possible, or I have to install the modified B in my local repository?
You can't do it on the command line, but you can set the dependency scope to system in the pom.xml and provide a path to the dependency.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.groupB</groupId>
<artifactId>B</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${project.basedir}/path/to/hacked-B.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
There is no way to resolve dependency from command line, but there is a way to let maven resolve dependency externally.
I created a temporal wrapper pom.xml which aggregates the two projects. It works, without install anything into local repository.
The only problem is that I am unable to use absolute path in <module/>.
See http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Aggregation
A little bit late :) You can do it with properties:
<properties>
<org.groupB.B.scope>compile</org.groupB.B.scope>
<org.groupB.B.path></org.groupB.B.path>
</properties>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.groupB</groupId>
<artifactId>B</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
<scope>${org.groupB.B.scope}</scope>
<systemPath>${org.groupB.B.path}</systemPath>
</dependency>
and then:
mvn package -Dorg.groupB.B.scope=system -Dorg.groupB.B.path=path/to/my-hacked-B.jar
You could mvn clean install your hacked version into your local maven repo, over the version you downloaded from the 'net. You'd need to make sure that project B's pom reflects the version you are depending on and not a snapshot version. (Or, to put it more generally: The version of project B that you mvn clean install must match the version you require in project A. Whether you edit A's pom or B's pom doesn't matter.)

How can I deploy only the pom file to my snapshot repository in Maven?

I would like to be able to deploy only the POM artifact (file) without the main artifact (JAR, WAR, etc), when running mvn deploy and version is a SNAPSHOT version.
Why?
We several developers working on multiple Maven projects. We have a Hudson server with a job per Maven project and version (e.g. foo-1.2, foo-1.3). Each job builds the project and deploys it to a Nexus server (upon success). Maven projects under development are marked as such by using -SNAPSHOT postfix in the version. For example: 1.2-SNAPSHOT, 1.3-SNAPSHOT.
Here's a sample scenario how a developer work is damaged due to this architecture.
Assume two Maven projects: foo-core and foo-webapp, both at version 1.2-SNAPSHOT.
Developer A is working on foo-core, made several changes and compiled it.
Developer A continues to work, but on foo-webapp.
Developer B started working and changing foo-core. It commits his work and pushes it to the SCM.
Hudson is triggered by SCM; Builds foo-core and deploys it to the snapshot repository in Nexus.
Developer A is running mvn install on foo-webapp. Maven is checking with Nexus, and finds that there is a newer version of foo-core in Nexus. It downloads it (filled with developer B changes) and than it fails compilation, since the changes made by developer A are not in the jar located in the local repository. The download overrides the file installed there by developer A.
Existing Solutions
I looked into maven-deploy-plugin, but this plugin deploys all artifacts attached to the project. If they had a way to configure which artifacts to deploy, it would have been great.
Question: Is there any way to solve this without resorting to writing my own deploy plugin, based on maven-deploy-plugin?
Basically to the -Dfile parameter, instead of the artifact, pass the pom.xml. Run the command and yay! mvn deploy won't give you any issues now. Here's a sample deploy command :
$ mvn deploy:deploy-file -DpomFile=pom.xml -Dfile=./pom.xml -DgroupId=my.group.id -DartifactId=artifact-id -DrepositoryId=bigdata-upload-snapshots -Durl=http://maven.mymaven.com/content/repositories/snapshots/
A prerequisite for this is that the repository be added in your settings.xml
[Edit]: I have supplied the parameters -DgroupId and -DartifactId of the project in the sample deploy command but they're not required (refer to Zac's comment below)
I never heard of such a possibility and also would be very astonished if that would be possible. As the pom and the resulting artifact are some kind of unit it would make no scence (to me) to deploy only parts of them.
Nevertheless you should consider to make a separate pom project which specified dependencies and plugins you might want to use on your JAR/WAR projects like this:
<groupId>foo.bar</groupId>
<artifactId>my-pom</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
and then inherit that pom project by your JAR/WAR projects like this:
<parent>
<groupId>foo.bar</groupId>
<artifactId>my-pom</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</parent>
This is called project inheritance. You can change and deploy your pom project independent of the "child" artifacts.
EDIT after reading motivation:
As I understand you want to prevent maven to resolve SNAPSHOT artifacts from a repository (so that local version won't be overwritten). Have you ever tried to use the mvn -nsu option (see mvn -help)?
-nsu,--no-snapshot-updates Suppress SNAPSHOT updates
I never tried it but found this reported issue. Nevertheless I would give it a try (as the issue is not commented yet).
This works for me for deploying a pom file only (e.g next to an existing jar):
(Note: you need to specify packaging also, otherwise it will be uploaded as an .xml file which is not what you want.)
mvn deploy:deploy-file \
-Dfile=pom.xml \
-Dpackaging=pom \
-DgroupId=com.mycompany.package \
-DartifactId=my-artifact \
-Dversion=2.0.1 \
-DrepositoryId=serverIdFromSettingsXMLForCredentials \
-Durl=http://repositoryserver/myrepo/
Not exactly the answer these folks were asking for. My situation was I wanted to deploy only the parent pom. I'm using the spring-boot-thin-layout in a child module. This requires the parent module be deployed into artifactory. I added the following into my project. It enables skipping of install and/or deploy phase.
In my parent pom:
<properties>
<disable.install>true</disable.install>
<disable.deploy>true</disable.deploy>
<enable.deployAtEnd>true</enable.deployAtEnd>
</properties>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>deploy-parent</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
</activation>
<properties>
<disable.install>true</disable.install>
<disable.deploy>true</disable.deploy>
<deployAtEnd>${enable.deployAtEnd}</deployAtEnd>
</properties>
<build>
<finalName>${project.version}</finalName>
</build>
</profile>
</profiles>
And the in my child pom(s) or any module you don't want deployed with parent:
<properties>
<maven.install.skip>${disable.install}</maven.install.skip>
<maven.deploy.skip>${disable.deploy}</maven.deploy.skip>
<deployAtEnd>${enable.deployAtEnd}</deployAtEnd>
</properties>
So effectively when I run mvn deploy on the parent pom, it will compile all the modules, not run install on anything, and then at the end deploy any module not having `
