How to add Spark to Maven project in Eclipse?

Question

I would like to start Spark project in Eclipse using Maven. I've installed m2eclipse and I have a working HelloWorld Java application in my Maven project.

I would like to use Spark framework and I'm following directions from the official site. I've added Spark repository to my pom.xml:

<repository>
      <id>Spark repository</id>
      <url>http://www.sparkjava.com/nexus/content/repositories/spark/</url>
</repository>

And then the dependency:

<dependency>
      <groupId>spark</groupId>
      <artifactId>spark</artifactId>
      <version>0.9.9.4-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

But I'm getting an error in Eclipse:

Missing artifact spark:spark:jar:0.9.9.4-SNAPSHOT

How can I resolve this issue? I don't want to download Spark's jar file and place in the local repository.

This is my pom.xml file:

<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">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

  <groupId>com.myproject</groupId>
  <artifactId>Spark1</artifactId>
  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <packaging>jar</packaging>

  <name>Spark1</name>
  <url>http://maven.apache.org</url>

  <properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
  </properties>

  <repository>
      <id>Spark repository</id>
      <url>http://www.sparkjava.com/nexus/content/repositories/spark/</url>
  </repository>

  <dependencies>
<!--     (...) -->

    <dependency>
      <groupId>spark</groupId>
      <artifactId>spark</artifactId>
      <version>0.9.9.4-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>

  </dependencies>

</project>

Answer 1

Currently no repository is required to add for Spark library loading

You just need to add

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sparkjava</groupId>
    <artifactId>spark-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.6.0</version>
</dependency>

And that's it.
