Liberty Maven repo for 17.0.0.1 not found - eclipse

Using the URL:
http://public.dhe.ibm.com/ibmdl/export/pub/software/websphere/wasdev/maven/repository/
as a repository in the settings.xml and then adding the dependencies in pom.xml as described here:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/was_beta/com.ibm.websphere.wdt.doc/topics/localrepo.htm
my libraries based on Liberty v17.0.0.1 are not found.
For example latest version of the basics.jar is 1.2.16 in my server installation, but the website only goes to 1.2.12.
Where should I find the jar files matching what gets installed with 17.0.0.1 for my repository entry in the settings.xml and dependencies in the pom.xml?

The Liberty dependencies were moved into maven central to simplify the process. There is no longer a need to depend on the special repository.

Build failure in Spring-boot-starter project due to missing WebApp libraries

I have a Spring-Boot-Starter-project in Eclipse Oxygen 4.7.0 and is trying to build a .war for deployment on an EC2 instance. I have added two jars to allow JDBC connectivity to PostgresSQL DB server from my deployed war.
I have also added the src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib path to the project build path as shown below
However, I am getting the Compilation error when I am doing mvn compile with a build failure stating the reason as unavailability of the jar classes
Any help will be really appreciated
You have configured Project build path in your eclipse, and it will not impact anything when you are doing mvn compile. Maven will not include the jar from the lib folder as it does not know lib folder's presence. You should apply either of below two options:
a. If those jars are present in maven repository then update your pom to read from maven repository directly.
b. Install these jars in your local repository then refer it in your pom.xml, check https://stackoverflow.com/a/30209982/3530898 for details

Not able to understand How maven works with Spring MVC

I made a Hello word example in springMVC.Following are my steps.
1.Installed maven-eclipse integeration in eclipse.
2.Download maven and set environment variables,JAVA_HOME etc.
3.Check to see if maven is running via cmd and it is.
4.Create new maven project and in pom.xml,set spring core,web,web-mvc dependencies.
5.Create new Dynamic web project and under its properties->Deployment assembly I have added maven project.
6.Added spring jars core,mvc,web,context etc in dynamic web project lib folder.
It's all working now but I am not able to understand the working.
Before,I was trying to make it work without maven by copy and paste jars into lib,classpath,by makiing user library and adding jars to it and then add it to current project but every time it was giving some error.Sometimes it was classnotfound,sometimes it was context related.
Finally i tried this maven thing by searching some online tutorials and it works now.
But I am not able get it.Can anybody explain me in detail that how those spring jars getting picked during development and deployment.What exactly is maven doing that I was not doing before.I am in the state of total confusion.I know the flow of my mvc project(controllers,views etc.).
Maven searches the libraries (they are also called artifacts in the Maven language) in repositories. In the Maven Central Repository many libraries are hosted - http://search.maven.org/. After Maven finds the libraries in a repository, it caches them in your local repository. It is in ${userDir}/.m2 The next time, Maven will look in your local repository, instead of downloading again from the Central Repository.
P.S You can specify many other repositories different than the Central Repository. This is done in the <repositories> tag in your pom.xml. The Central Repository is always searched by default.
if you don't want use maven you have change your project setup. remove the pom.xml and copy all needed jar into the webapp/WEB-INF/libs folder.
Copy the jar from the a maven build(target folder). in this case you have all together without grabbing them one by one over then.

Where do Maven look for springMVC jars when working with eclipse(maven plugin installed)

I am using m2e plugin.
Just stuck at one point when maven search for springMVC jar files where it would be searching.
In /web-inf/lib or in project build path.
Where should I put those jars
Thanks
Maven looks for jars in its repositories.
Therefore you don't need download jars manually when using Maven, it will automatically download jars from remote repository and put it to the local repository on your machine.
Maven uses "settings.xml" file to find out your project repositories. and resolve dependencies(every jar files that you need) from those repositories.
more about seetings.xml and also
this one .
After downloading required jar file for first time, maven puts it in your local repository in:
${user-home}/.m2/repository.

Get a Hudson build with Maven

I have moved to Maven recently, and since it works fine for resources up to date in some repositories, it's not obvious for non-maven ones.
I have something very simple to achieve (in the idea), but that I am unable to express so far:
I need to compile my code with a jar that can be found here:
https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/view/WTP/job/cbi-wtp-wst.xsl.psychopath/ws/sourceediting/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.xml.xpath2.processor/target/
What do I have to put in my pom.xml to make Maven downloading the .jar + the java source + the javadoc, and eventually the other dependencies (actually IBM ICU, Xerces, JavaCup) that are mentionned in the supplied MANIFEST ?
I have read lots of documents, including those with a plugin called Tycho, but nothing helpfull for that simple task.
Thanks for your help.
Maven only works well if all artifacts needed for a build are contained in the local or a configured remote repository. So you have to do the following jobs:
Find out if eclipse plugins are deployed in a Maven2-style repository, and what the URL of that repository is.
Then find out which version of that plugin (artifact) you need.
Maven allows you to configure what will be copied locally: jar file, sources and api doc if you want to.
Maven should then be responsible to download as well all needed artifacts for the plugin you want to use.
After looking at the contents of the URL you gave us (especially the file p2content.xml), it looks like there should be a repository. I searched for the maven repository for org.eclipse.wst.xml.xpath2 and found the URL http://maven.eclipse.org/nexus/content/repositories/testing/org/eclipse/wst/org.eclipse.wst.xml.xpath2/1.1.0/org.eclipse.wst.xml.xpath2-1.1.0.pom
So the repository you are searching for is located at http://maven.eclipse.org/nexus. Just open it, search for example for xpath2, and Nexus, the repository software used there will you show the available artifacts. Depending on what was deployed to that repository, it may contain only the library, or have even sources and JavaDoc bundled with it. For the example above (xpath2), there seems to be only the POM itself and the library (the jar). If you take as example junit, you will find all versions and variants, even with sources.jar and javadoc.jar.
After you have found the needed artifact, you can include it in the dependency section of your POM. And you have to add http://maven.eclipse.org/nexus as a remote repository in the configuration of your Maven installation.
The question and its answer Get source JARs from Maven repository explain how to fetch sources and JavaDoc (if they are available).
You need a maven repository which contains this artifacts (i don't know, if Eclipse hosts a repository for their projects). You can also deploy manually the artifacts to a local repository on your computer.

Where can I obtain the maven-source-plugin?

I checked out an open-source project from SourceForge's SVN source control using the Eclipse Maven plugin. After it checks out, I get this error in the pom.xml file:
Error resolving version for plugin
'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-source-plugin' from the repositories
[local (C:\Documents and Settings\thomas.owens\.m2\repository),
central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2)]: Plugin not found in any
plugin repository
I'm fairly new to Maven, but I followed the installation instructions for Apache Maven and the Eclipse plugin. It seems weird that this plugin would not be found in the central plugin repository for Maven or my local repository, when I can clearly see a directory located at C:\Documents and Settings\thomas.owens\.m2\repository\org\apache\maven\plugins\maven-source-plugin that contains a single resolver-status.properties file.
Any thoughts as to why this plugin might not be found and where I can find it?
The problem that I was encountering was not an issue with the maven-source-plugin, but incorrect proxy settings that was preventing the connection to the repositories. The answers to this question on the use of Maven with a proxy helped me to find the mistake and correct it.
That plugin is in the central repository.
Perhaps you just need to run with -U to update:
mvn -U clean install
Or in Eclipse: right-click on the project, select Maven-> Update Dependencies, (perhaps) Maven-> Update Project Configuration
Check if you are able to see Maven in Eclipse, Window > Preferences.
If so, select Maven and go to installations and check if the folder, in where maven was installed, is properly set. Then, set your setting.xml file, it should be in /(maven installation folder)/conf/
Then, right click in your project go to Maven > Update Maven Dependencies.
Did it help?
Which project?
Perhaps there is a bug in their pom.
Or perhaps they require a 'standardized' develop environment with specific environment variables set, or a specific setting in user.home/.m2/settings.xml
