Cannot resolve symbol 'security' while importing io.jsonwebtoken.security.Keys;

Question

I was trying to build a project about API authentication using JWT. I have installed the io.jsonwebtoken package with version 0.9.1 in order to do that.

My pom.xml

        </plugins>
    </build>

</project>

While I'm trying to import "io.jsonwebtoken.security.Keys" I'm getting this error: "Cannot resolve symbol 'security'".

I tried 0.6.0 but still no luck.

How can I fix this? Thanks.

Answer 1

I have this configuration in my pom.xml. This worked for me. I removed the dependency as you have in the question and replaced it with below.

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.jsonwebtoken</groupId>
    <artifactId>jjwt-impl</artifactId>
    <version>0.11.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.jsonwebtoken</groupId>
    <artifactId>jjwt-api</artifactId>
    <version>0.11.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.jsonwebtoken</groupId>
    <artifactId>jjwt-jackson</artifactId>
    <version>0.11.1</version>
</dependency>

Based on https://search.maven.org/search?q=fc:io.jsonwebtoken.security.Keys%20AND%20g:io.jsonwebtoken (this is how you can get the list of artifacts with a specific groupId containing a specific class), you need at least 0.10.0 ofjjwt-api
