Maven dependency log4j error

Question

Hello everyone I have error which breaks up my build for no reason, here is the error message :

error: error reading
/.m2/repository/com/sun/jdmk/jmxtools/1.2.1/jmxtools-1.2.1.jar;
error in opening zip file error: error
reading
/.m2/repository/com/sun/jmx/jmxri/1.2.1/jmxri-1.2.1.jar;
error in opening zip file

I'm using this dependency :

<dependency>
  <groupId>log4j</groupId>
  <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
  <version>1.2.15</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

How can I fix this ?

You most likely don't need jmxtools or jmxri, so you can probably exclude them from your dependencies:

<dependency>
    <groupId>log4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.15</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
          <groupId>com.sun.jdmk</groupId>
          <artifactId>jmxtools</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
        <exclusion>
          <groupId>com.sun.jmx</groupId>
          <artifactId>jmxri</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>
