Maven-Dependency-Plugin: NoSuchElementException for Aether RepositorySystem - eclipse

Question

I keep seeing a NoSuchElementException for the tag in the maven-dependency-plugin. I have tried adding dependencies for aether-spi, aether-api, and aether-util to my pom.xml but the error does not go away. I can sometimes get it to go away if I repeatedly update and clean the project or run mvn package. Is there a dependency I can add or an update to the plugin I can make to prevent this error? Is there something wrong with my pom.xml?
I am using eclipse Mars 4.5.2 and Maven 3.2.3.
Here is the error:
java.util.NoSuchElementException

Answer 1

As you are using Maven3, you need to add the maven-resolver-api version 1.4.1 as dependency.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.resolver</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-resolver-api</artifactId>
<version>1.4.1</version>
</dependency>
If anybody stumbles in this issue and is using Maven2, please add the same dependency, but use version 1.3.1

Answer 2

First you have defined packaging jar but you have define the maven-war-plugin in your pom file? If you like to produce a war file change the packaging to war. Furthermore I'm not sure why you are using maven-dependency-plugin to copy file to lib folder? This looks wrong. Furthermore dependencies to Aether is simply wrong, cause it's used by Maven and plugins but usually not by users...
