This seems like it should be simple but I cannot find anything on how to upgrade to newer versions of itext7. I am using an Eclipse maven project with itext7 version 7.0.4 and would like to update to 7.1.1. However, I can find nothing that tells me how to do that. Neither the Eclipse update menu or the Maven menu has an option to update itext7. Can someone point me to the documentation on how to do an update? TIA.
After answer:
I am not getting the libraries but instead getting conflicts:
I can't seem to post my pom.xml using code tags (I guess the formatter has a problem with XML code because of the <>) but I will include it if someone tells me how. I've uploaded the pom file to DropBox:
pom.xml
(Turning #mkl's and #amedee's comments into an answer)
In your project there is a file pom.xml which contains the Maven project definition. In there is a dependencies section with entries for the iText artifacts (among others). The version is therein. Well, it could also be in a separate dependencies management section or in a parent pom.xml referenced in your file.
As soon as you update the POM file, you can update the Eclipse project configuration in your Eclipse Maven menu. That will, if necessary, automatically download the jar artifacts. If your Eclipse Maven integration is properly configured, that is, and if your computer has proper internet connectivity.
Old versions will remain in your local repository but won't be in the class path anymore.
Also check out our getting started guide. Which contains an example POM snippet.
https://developers.itextpdf.com/itext7/download-and-install-information/Java
If you put your iText version number in POM properties, then you only have to update the value once when you want to upgrade. Like this:
<properties>
<itext.version>7.1.1</itext.version>
</properties>
and then
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.itextpdf</groupId>
<artifactId>kernel</artifactId>
<version>${itext.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.itextpdf</groupId>
<artifactId>io</artifactId>
<version>${itext.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.itextpdf</groupId>
<artifactId>layout</artifactId>
<version>${itext.version}</version>
</dependency>
...
</dependencies>
When adding Arquillian to a Maven build I get the above exception in Eclipse:
Missing artifact sun.jdk:jconsole:jar:jdk
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.arquillian.junit</groupId>
<artifactId>arquillian-junit-container</artifactId>
<version>1.1.7.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.arquillian.extension</groupId>
<artifactId>arquillian-persistence-dbunit</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0.Alpha7</version>
</dependency>
(The message is not the problem, but that Eclipse refuses to compile the project because of it. Maven works, though.)
Naturally the first thing I did was trying to exclude it from the Maven dependencies (wildfly-arquillian-container-managed is where the dependency tree states the dependency comes from):
<dependency>
<groupId>org.wildfly</groupId>
<artifactId>wildfly-arquillian-container-managed</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<artifactId>jconsole</artifactId>
<groupId>sun.jdk</groupId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
There was no change. I tried to start Eclipse with -vm C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_60\bin. And tried to edit the JDK in "Preferences -> Installed JREs" to contain the JAR in the tools directory. But nothing works.
What can I do?
I put my dependencies like this and it works fine:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.arquillian.junit</groupId>
<artifactId>arquillian-junit-container</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.wildfly</groupId>
<artifactId>wildfly-arquillian-container-embedded</artifactId>
<version>8.1.0.CR1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-simple</artifactId>
<version>1.7.15</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<!-- Arquillian -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.wildfly</groupId>
<artifactId>wildfly-embedded</artifactId>
<version>8.1.0.CR1</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>sun.jdk</groupId>
<artifactId>jconsole</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
See that the exclusion tag is in the "wildfly-embedded" dependency...
Don't forget to command "mvn install" and click right button at project and "Maven Update", if it doesn't work try delete folder "~/.m2/repository" and download all the dependencies again.
Alastair, thanks for solving the problem. The cause lies in the the pom of the transient dependency org.wildfly:wildfly-cli (8.2.0.Final). There you can find the following dependency declaration:
<dependency>
<groupId>sun.jdk</groupId>
<artifactId>jconsole</artifactId>
<version>jdk</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${java.home}/../lib/jconsole.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
Actually, the jar is located in ${java.home}/lib/jconsole.jar.
P.S.: The version is also insufficient. So, I deleted this version from my local maven repository.
I faced this while working in a Windows machine. The project itself worked perfectly fine in my Ubuntu machine. However the project's build failed with exactly that message, induced by a transient org.wildfly:wildfly-ejb dependency.
Missing artifact sun.jdk:jconsole:jar:jdk
I didn't feel the project configuration needed to be changed as it's supposed to just work fine across all environments and thus the Windows environment itself must have been wrong. My first thought was that Eclipse itself is in some way using JRE instead of JDK.
So I checked java -version in CMD and it appears to point to a JRE installed somewhere in /Program Files folder while I've always been manually installing JDKs in /Java folder. Then I inspected the %PATH% environment variable in Windows settings. It appears to include a /ProgramData/Oracle/Java/javapath. That folder contained a few symlinks to the JRE in /Program Files folder. That was thus actually being used to start Eclipse and run all its tasks. When I removed it (there was already a JDK/bin further down in %PATH% setting) and restarted Eclipse and re-executed Maven build, the error went away.
No changes needed to pom.xml or Eclipse configuration. Just watch out with what's Windows all installing and updating for you in the background and check your %PATH% if it still has JDK in top.
The reason of the problem is that the jconsole.jar is part of the jdk, thus it is not distributed as an ordinary maven package.
Typically, project pom.xmls insert this jconsole.jar as a system package, i.e. it doesn't even try to download them from the central maven repo. Although it would be possible to distribute it also on this way.
The simplest solution of the problem is to use a jdk which contains this jconsole.jar.
Alternatively, you can download this jar from anywhere, only you have to make it reachable in the compilation classpath.
Or, you can also modify the pom.xml, or install the package manually into your local maven repo, as the other answers state.
I spent the best part of a day fighting this problem. Simple solution is to manually install the missing jar from your jdk using maven, something like:
c:\workspace\prism>mvn install:install-file -Dfile=C:\java\jdk\lib\jconsole.jar -DgroupId=sun.jdk -DartifactId=jconsole -Dversion=1.8 -Dpackaging=war.
Who knows why eclipse cannot do this ...
Maybe is more of a workaround than a proper solution, anyway I solved this issue by removing the profile "activebydefault" in the pom. This way, Eclipse won't complain for the "Missing artifact sun.jdk:jconsole:jar:jdk" but the JUnit test won't run in Eclipse - as I use testing only from maven test, and not the Eclipse embedded JUnit runner, it just need to specify which profile ID you want to run against.
I was facing the same issue, but none of this was a perfect solution for me. Steps to solve :
Check if you are pointing to the JDK location correctly :
echo $JAVA_HOME
Open pom.xml from IDE (mine is eclipse), select Dependency Hierarchy, and search for jconsole. If you see jconsole, it is because sometimes jconsole would be given as an interdependency and the path given could not be recognized. Excluding that jar will solve the issue.
Dependency Hierarchy
Interdependent jconsole
Exclusing jconsole
i was searched jdk full name.
(cos i was used when startethe 1.8.0_191 but after change laptop. its also changed to 1.8.0_282)
so i was searched at STS.
there is a string(java path) at the .factorypath.
so i change that.
its fixed now.
guys try this way~
I'm trying to use one of the Apache Commons Math3 classes in Eclipse.
Downloaded the jar, and used these instructions for adding to the build path: ClassNotFoundException in eclipse.
In addition, since the project uses Maven, I added this to the pom.xml file:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-math3</artifactId>
<version>3.0</version>
</dependency>
Here is where I'm using the class:
import org.apache.commons.math3.distribution.fitting.MultivariateNormalMixtureExpectationMaximization;
...
MixtureMultivariateNormalDistribution mmnd = MultivariateNormalMixtureExpectationMaximization.estimate(data, 2);
There are no errors at compile time, but at runtime:
Error text:java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.math3.distribution.fitting.MultivariateNormalMixtureExpectationMaximization
I know there are a couple of stackoverflow answers regarding adding jar files, I've followed several of them and they don't seem to solve the issue.
Thanks in advance!
I have a pom.xml with the following entry
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
And on maven install the jar is added to the maven repository and is also listed in the maven dependencies library.
But I am not able to import any of the classes from the added jar 'spring-web-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar' for the particular entry, though it shows in the classpath
The error - in eclipse "cannot be resolved to a type"
environment - maven 3.1 and Spring tool suite
Thanks
Solved - found the solution through some other forum
The jar inside the repository was corrupted.
After clearing the .m2 folder in the physical drive and repeating the maven clean install worked.
Thanks for the time #techidiot #jtravaglini.
I added this dependency chunk in my pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>freeway</groupId>
<artifactId>axis</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
I have placed my jar file in the folder C:\jarhost\axis-1.0.jar
And i ran the command
mvn install:install-file -Dfile= "C:/jarhost/axis-1.0.jar" -DgroupId=freeway -DartifactId=axis -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar
And this is the error i get is this

I also stumbled upon this https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/DOC/Adding+JARs+to+an+Application and tried it too. But it was unable to 'download' dependencies.
What am i missing ?Looking for your help on this.
Thanks

You can instal your jar with your plugin by adding dependencie in your pom.xml
in your case i think you need to add scope compile
eg.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.axis</groupId>
<artifactId>axis</artifactId>
<version>1.4</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
you can read about it here
and another advice if you start create plugin is best practise is to use Confluence atlas-cli , mvn-instal not help you in this way.
Also i advice you to read this very usefull docs here you can find a lot's of nice docs which can help you to develop plugins for confluence much more easier.
Angela,
maybe you run into this bug:
Unfortunately there's a bug in the Atlassian Plugin SDK that prevents
the atlas-* batch files from correctly interpreting command-line
parameters that contain an equals sign
The workaround is to call "%ATLAS_HOME%\apache-maven\bin\mvn" instead of "atlas-mvn".
https://studio.atlassian.com/browse/AMPS-197
https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/browse/AMPS-353
https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/20341/configuring-eclipse-to-use-the-atlassian-plugin-sdk
My solution was the following:
edit %ATLAS_HOME%\bin\atlas-mvn.bat
locate the line if "%1"=="" goto loopend (in my case it was line 69)
change it to:
if `%1`==`` goto loopend
Hope this solves your problem!
