Maven project cannot locate dependencies in local repository

Question

I have a maven project setup.

In my maven POM file, it is defined as below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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>

    <parent>
        <groupId>com.myProject</groupId>
        <artifactId>basePOM</artifactId>
        <version>1.0</version>
        <relativePath>../../../shared/common/pom.xml</relativePath>
    </parent>

    <groupId>com.myProject.services</groupId>
    <artifactId>orderservice</artifactId>
    <version>developer</version>
    <packaging>war</packaging>

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.3</version>
                <configuration>
                    <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

    <dependencies>
        <!--Internal dependencies-->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.myProject.shared</groupId>
            <artifactId>model</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
            <artifactId>resteasy-jaxrs</artifactId>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
            <artifactId>resteasy-spring</artifactId>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</project>

I have a parent POM which defines some common bits:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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>

    <name>Base POM</name>
    <groupId>com.myProject</groupId>
    <artifactId>basePOM</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <packaging>pom</packaging>

    <dependencyManagement>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>com.myProject.shared</groupId>
                <artifactId>model</artifactId>
                <version>developer</version>
            </dependency>

            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
                <artifactId>resteasy-jaxrs</artifactId>
                <version>1.2.GA</version>
                <exclusions>
                    <exclusion>
                        <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
                        <artifactId>slf4j-simple</artifactId>
                    </exclusion>
                </exclusions>
            </dependency>

            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
                <artifactId>resteasy-spring</artifactId>
                <version>1.2.GA</version>
            </dependency>
        </dependencies>
    </dependencyManagement>
</project>

When I run

mvn clean install

The resteasy-jaxrs and resteasy-spring are downloaded to my local repository without problem.

However, it then produces an error said:

**[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project orderservice: Could not resolve dependencies for
 project com.mxyy.services:orderservice:war:developer: Failed to collect dependencies for
[com.mxyy.shared:model:jar:developer (compile), org.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-jaxrs:jar:1.2.

s cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update inte

It looks like the project cannot pickup the dependencies already in my local repository.

Can someone let me know how I can solve this problem?

Many thanks

More Info:

I have temporarily removed the dependency com.myProject.shared. Now the error message becomes:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project orderservice: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.mxyy.services:orderservice:war:developer: Faile

Answer 1

Well, looks like the access is forbidden.

You need to use the right path to JBoss repository: https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/

Here is the artifact you need: https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/org/scannotation/scannotation/

So, mention in your POM:

    <repository>
        <id>JBoss</id>
        <name>JBoss</name>
        <url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/</url>
    </repository> 

in repositories list

Answer 2

mvn clean install your model project first. That will install its artifacts into your local repo where your target build can find them.

Edit:

If this still does not help, use the -X switch to display more error/debug information:

mvn -X clean install
