Maven Build Failure For JBoss AS 7 Hello world example

Question

Im trying to follow this tutorial: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS7/Helloworld+quickstart

But getting build error when following the simple instructions to clean + build package:

gert@gert-VirtualBox:~/workspace/jboss-eap-6.1.0.GA-quickstarts/helloworld$ mvn clean package [INFO] Scanning for projects... [ERROR] The build could not read 1 project -> [Help 1] [ERROR] [ERROR] The project org.jboss.as.quickstarts:jboss-as-helloworld:7.1.2-SNAPSHOT (/home/gert/workspace/jboss-eap-6.1.0.GA-quickstarts/helloworld/pom.xml) has 4 errors [ERROR] Non-resolvable import POM: Failure to find org.jboss.spec:jboss-javaee-6.0:pom:3.0.2.Final-redhat-3 in http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced @ line 68, column 25 -> [Help 2]

I haven't edited the pom.xml file at all - shouldn't this just work?

I've googled it and came across this: https://community.jboss.org/message/762371#762371 But I don't seem to have a settings file anywhere?

Please, any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

OK, here's what fixed it:

Commented out this line in the pom.xml: (I thought this is a type of variable that gets automatically inserted/replaced by eclipse/something, turns out NO IT IS NOT):

<!--                 <version>${version.org.jboss.spec.jboss.javaee.6.0}</version> -->

Replace with:

<version>3.0.2.Final</version>

It now builds and I can deploy it fine, thanks for the help Nishant!
