I get an error downloading javax.media.jai_core:1.1.3 from maven central

Question

I get an error downloading javax.media.jai_core:1.1.3 from maven central.

The error is:

download failed: javax.media#jai_core;1.1.3!jai_core.jar

using play compiler.

Answer 1

The problem at this moment is that maven-central doesn't have the .jar, which is a dependency from geotoolkit

If you need it, you could use the next public repositories:

https://maven.geotoolkit.org (jai-core is here)

https://repo.osgeo.org/repository/release/

Make sure geotoolkit-repo is before Maven Central, so that it resolves before Central which misses the jar.

Answer 2

And move the http://download.osgeo.org/webdav/geotools repo to the first position in your repo list. Otherwise it will probably still give you that error.

Answer 3

For Gradle users:

    mavenCentral().content {
        excludeModule("javax.media", "jai_core")
    }
