I've created a Maven project and added the dependencies (jar files) that I need; however, netbeans says that it still cannot find it.
Specifically in my case, I added the jmf-2.1.1e.jar file into my dependencies folder. When I go back to my program it still gives me the compile error that it cannot find the javax.media package.
Did you let Netbeans manage the dependency?
In your "Projects" listing, find and context+click on the "Dependencies" folder in the list. From the context menu, choose "Add Dependency".
This approach works at least in NetBeans 7.4 and 8.0 beta.
Make sure that your pom.xml has the following snippet that defines the dependency
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.media</groupId>
<artifactId>jmf</artifactId>
<version>2.1.1e</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
The dependency is available in Maven Central. Add the pom snippet manually to the pom.xml and run Maven in the shell and let it download the dependency. This should resolve your issue.
Maven automatically downloads the dependency once specified in the pom.xml. For this you would have to build your project with the dependency as specified by Tim Sparg.

Though I have configured the classpath and added the jar file in the library of the project , it still gives me an error as "package net.miginfocom.swing. does not exist".
What can I do to avoid this error?
You can use maven to automatically download MigLayout. Just click new project, select and maven from categories, then Java Application. Once created go into the "pom.xml" (within Project Files) and paste this under the properties section:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.miglayout</groupId>
<artifactId>miglayout</artifactId>
<version>3.7.4</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Then just build the project and maven will download and install MigLayout. Hope this helps.
I am using Eclipse Indigo with Maven. i have created Maven Project and selected ArtifactId as webapp-archetype 1.5.1 as shown in the screen shot below.
When i am done completing the project, list of libraries appears under Maven Library. Now, i want to add few external Jars to Maven Library by going into its build-Path and add external jar, it adds the jar file but NOT under Maven Library. I can't manually move it under Maven Library, neither can i paste it.
P.S , i want to remove few jar files from the Maven Library as well.
You need to add dependencies in your pom.xml not by adding external jars manually to your build path.
So remove the extra jar you added by hand end add:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
</dependency>
Edit
If you have m2eclipse plugin installed on your eclipse, right click on your project, and under Maven menu do a "Update project configuration".
Your new jar should be displayed under Maven dependencies
or if not, run a mvn eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse to regenerate the .project and .classpath of your project
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 have just added dependencies to an eclipse project so that my jar can see other jars. How can I be sure that the dependencies work, and that what I've done is correct? I view a pom.xml file that has been created so what are the target folder and classes,test-classes subfolders used for? Thanks
If you have the m2eclipse plugin installed you can open your pom in Eclipse and click on the Dependency Hierarchy tab to view your resolved dependencies. You should manage all dependencies through Maven with the setup you are describing.
If you want to check command line you may want to look at using Effective Pom.
If you use m2e, it adds Maven Dependencies pseudo library to your project.
You may expand it and see if the dependent jar file is in there.
If it is, Eclipse ( or more precisely m2e ) has resolved the dependency correctly and it's available for you project build.
If you added your dependencies correctly your application should build and execute correctly, or am I missing something? Dependencies should be added to a POM section that looks like this example:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>annogen</groupId>
<artifactId>annogen</artifactId>
<version>0.1.0</version>
</dependency>
<!-- other dependencies here -->
</dependencies>
Maven and the m2e/m2eclipse plugin rely on source files to be conventionally placed in src/main/java for application code and src/test/java for test code. Application code is compiled to target/classes and test code is compiled to target/test-classes. If you plan to use Maven and/or m2e/m2eclipse, do read about it. Maven: The Complete Reference is a good starting point.
I have a Eclipse project where Maven manages the dependencies. I have also few jar files that are not Maven enable and I locate them at src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib. I have no issue to build/run the project in Eclipse. I have no issue also to run "mvn:package" after I built the project in Eclipse. However, after I invoke "mvn:clean", if I run "mvn:package", I will get compilation error as it can't find dependency jar files under src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib. What I need to do is to rebuild the Eclipse project then "mvn:package". Therefore, I can't invoke "mvn:package" outside Eclipse IDE.
How to resolve this?
Thanks.
You have to put the not "Maven enabled artifacts" to an appropriate Maven Repository (Nexus, Artifactory what ever) and than change your project to use the dependencies appropriately. Furthermore either you do Maven or not but nothing in between. Maven is a build tool and not only for dependency management. After those changes working with Eclipse will work fine (if you use M2Eclipse). If you correctly use Maven you can do both things via Eclipse or call mvn package on command line.
If you can not set up a recommended environment (maven repository) you can add the dependencies as System dependencies to your pom.xml.
<project>
...
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>foo</groupId>
<artifactId>bar</artifactId>
<version>1.2.3</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${basedir}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/foobar.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
...
</project>
