dependencies.dependency.version' is missing error

Question

I am trying to create a bundle using apache maven. When I run mvn clean install command it is giving the below error:

dependencies.dependency.version' is missing for javax.servlet:servlet-api.jar

I have placed that ‘servlet-api.jar’ inside resource folder of my project

Could any anyone please tell where should I place that jar file?

UPDATE: Here is my pom.xml

Answer 1

You haven't added the version tag in dependency.

<dependency>         <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>         <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>         <version>1.0.0</version>   //Add the version. </dependency> 

Answer 2

I had this same error for a slightly different reason.

My project uses dependency management (has 2 <dependencyManagement> sections for some reason) and has many modules and sub-modules.

Top level pom had:

    <dependencyManagement>         <dependency>             <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>             <artifactId>spark-core_2.10</artifactId>             <version>${spark.version}</version>         </dependency>     </dependencyManagement> 

Sub-level pom had

    <dependencyManagement>         <dependency>             <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>             <artifactId>spark-core_2.10</artifactId>             <scope>provided</scope>         </dependency>     </dependencyManagement> 

Leaf pom had

    <dependency>         <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>         <artifactId>spark-core_2.10</artifactId>     </dependency> 

To fix it I removed the <dependencyManagement> section from the mid-level pom and changed the leaf pom to have

    <dependency>         <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>         <artifactId>spark-core_2.10</artifactId>         <scope>provided</scope>     </dependency>
