I'm using:

• java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64
• Maven 3.1.1
• Ubuntu 13.04, 64-bit

Answer 1

You don't say how you are using Maven, but I suspect that you are just generating a JAR file for your application.

You should use the Maven GAE plugin and specifying the relevant 'aether' libraries as dependencies in your POM file.

(Note: I've not had personal experience with this, but the plugin documentation implies that it will take care of the dependencies for you.)

Answer 2

It appears that you have an issue with your java classpath. The missing jar seems to be this one:

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.sonatype.aether/aether-api/1.13.1

Specifically, here is the jar: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/sonatype/aether/aether-api/1.13.1/aether-api-1.13.1.jar

Put that jar in your classpath. It contains the org.sonatype.aether.RepositorySystem class.
