I tried to use the milo opc-ua Implementation. At first I download the source with Eclipse/Maven to my local working directory.
File -> Import -> "Checkout Maven Projects"
The Download works fine for me. After this, I tried to update the project files.
Right-Click -> Update Maven Project
The "build-tools" work well for me, everything is done without any errors. But when I try this with the other "folders" (client-examples, ...) I get the following error:
Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-checkstyle-plugin:2.17:check (execution: validate, phase: validate).
The following code shows the pom-file of the client-examples:
http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
4.0.0
<parent>
<groupId>org.eclipse.milo</groupId>

</dependencies>
The pom.entries, shown in https://github.com/eclipse/milo, are in the file. I also checked this for the other sources. But whats going wrong?
I'm using eclipse-neon and maven2eclipse.
Thanks for helping,
Andreas
The errors says that the M2Eclipse plugin has no idea how to map the execution of checkstyle into some build step for the IDE. M2Eclipse tries to set up your local IDE project to replicate the behavior of the Maven build.
By default M2Eclipse is missing the support for the checkstyle Maven plugin. Therefore you get this error. There are two ways to handle this:
You can simply make Eclipse ignore those errors
You can install the checkstyle plugin for Eclipse and have checkstyle run the same way the maven build does it, getting all validation information right into your IDE.
In order to install checkstyle do the following:
Locate the location where the error is reported in Eclipse, issue the "Quick fix" command (normally Ctrl-1)
Select "Discover new m2e connectors":
Review the dialog and press "Finish":
Wait and let Eclipse restart
That should be it.
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 trying to add a .pom file to eclipse with some dependencies and I cannot understand how. The .pom is https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/glxn/qrgen/javase/2.0/javase-2.0.pom. Any help please?
You can type the XML in the POM or you can use the "Maven -> Add Dependency" function of the context menu. You would have to specify the repository coordinates like
net.glxn.qrgen:javase:2.0
Eclipse tells me however, it is a JAR dependency, not of packaging type POM.
Results in:
<dependency>
<groupId>net.glxn.qrgen</groupId>
<artifactId>javase</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
</dependency>
I'm new to Maven, and struggling with adding dependencies. I'm trying to convert an existing project to Maven, and after adding the dependencies for all the jars in my referenced libraries, I'm receiving an error message about missing artifacts:
Missing artifact stax:stax:jar:1.0
Missing artifact clover:clover:jar:1.3-rc4
Missing artifact log4j:log4j:bundle:1.2.16
Missing artifact stax:stax-ri:jar:1.0
From reading this post: How to handle Maven missing artifact errors?, it sounds like I need to manually download these jars and add them to my local maven repository. My question is how do I find these jars? I tried googling them, and I can find jars that have similar names, but not exactly like these, so I'm not sure if they're the right jars.
Any tips for dealing with this problem? The log4j jar is the only one explicitly listed in the referenced libraries of my original project, so I'm guessing the other ones are required by other jars that I have, and I don't know where to find them or what their exact names should be.
Thanks!
Thanks to everyone for responding. The actual cause of the problem is that for each of those 3 missing artifacts, for some reason, when Maven downloaded them into my local repository, .lastUpdated was appended to the end of the jar. For example, stax-1.0.jar.lastUpdated. This is the reason Maven could not find stax-1.0.jar.
So, to fix this problem, I had to manually download stax-1.0.jar, then install it into the local maven repository in the exact same place as the messed up file, so that Maven could find it. (For example, using the command:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file>/stax-1.0.jar
-DgroupId=stax -DartifactId=stax -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar
Using the same exact groupId and artifactId as the existing, incorrect file was crucial in order for maven to find it.
You can find dependency search Sites under maven.apache.org. Go to the left side Navigation Menü entry FAQ (official) and Thun to end of page.
It's more likely that your POM definition is not correct for log4j. Everything relating to log4j should be readily available in maven.
Also, if you know the name of the bundle (such as log4j) you can almost always do a quick google search "[bundle name] maven pom" within the first few hits you should either get the maven repo containing a quick snippet on how to include it, or the actual website for the bundled up jar and the maven instructions.
For example log4j:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
<version>1.2.16</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Sometimes though you just need to specify the repository to find the item in (if it's not hosted in the greater maven repositories)
You can specify a new repository like so
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>Java.Net</id>
<url>http://download.java.net/maven/2/</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
Finally when you absolutely cannot find the artifact already maven'd up for you (this is usually true for proprietary jars and or drivers that you cannot include with your project) you can have the user manually install the item via command line
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=[group-id] -DartifactId=[artifact-id] -Dversion=[version] -Dfile=/path/to/the/file -Dpackaging=[type]
You can then reference it in your maven file using the information described above
For example I have a custom reference for a salesforce.com project
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.salesforce -DartifactId=wsc -Dversion=22 -Dfile=\tsclient\H\development\java\wsc-22.jar -Dpackaging=jar
To access it in maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.salesforce</groupId>
<artifactId>wsc</artifactId>
<version>22</version>
</dependency>
Finally, you can find the jars (or their maven info) at their respective websites (please note I'm just basing these links off the jar names, these may not be the actual websites, well sans the log4j which I know to be correct)
Stax
Clover
Log4j
Use maven search or mvnrepository.com. If you can not find use google looking for jar in other public repositories, for example for stax:
maven stax-ri pom
My first result is:
http://maven.nuxeo.org/nexus/content/groups/public/stax/stax-ri/1.0/
Other public repositories:
http://download.java.net/maven/2
http://download.java.net/maven/1
http://repository.codehaus.org
http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss
http://maven.springframework.org/release
you can try to add new repositories to your pom.xml
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>java.net</id>
<url>http://download.java.net/maven/2/</url>
</repository>
<repository>
<id>jboss</id>
<url>http://repository.jboss.com/maven2</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
After several days this stupid error bugged me, I found the following article
The author describes that there is a workspace repository, which may out of date. In my case it helped just to import the correct plugins again. The workspace repository has been updated and everything is fine.
Your problem might be something to do with MNG-4142. This bug means that maven will not download a new snapshot if localCopy is set to true in the artifact maven-metadata-local.xml.
Note that the title of this bug is slightly misleading so it is work reading the comments.
You might think that using the -U flag with maven would fix this problem but apparently this is not the case.
The current workaround seems to be searching for all instances of maven-metadata-local.xml and changing the value of localCopy to false.
I solved this problem by changing the log4j version from 1.2.15 to 1.2.16.
It also could be cause by the dom4j. The same error occurred when I use the following settings.
<dependency>
<groupId>dom4j</groupId>
<artifactId>dom4j</artifactId>
<version>20040902.021138</version>
</dependency>
After changing to the following, the error disappeared.
<dependency>
<groupId>dom4j</groupId>
<artifactId>dom4j</artifactId>
<version>1.6.1</version>
</dependency>
I’m using STS 2.9.1 (build on Eclipse 3.7.2) with m2e plugin bundled with STS (v1.0.200.20111228-1245).
I have a problem regarding missing dependencies in Eclipse project that contains several modules, or maybe I don’t fully understand how it should work.
It’s a maven project.
In my Project > Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries I have “Maven Dependencies” library, but it's empty (and that’s the problem).
The main POM doesn’t have any dependencies, but it has several modules declared in it.
Adding a dependency to module’s POM doesn’t add it to the “Maven Dependencies” library (what was my expectation) and leads to Eclipse showing errors in source files.
Adding a dependency to the main POM adds it to the “MD” lib, but of course I don’t want to add all of my modules’ dependencies to the main POM just to have it in “MD” lib and adding every single dependency to the Build Path doesn’t seem right nor practical.
I’ve tried:
Project > Clean,
Maven > Update dependencies,
Maven > Update project configuration,
Unchecking the checkbox: Project > Properties > Maven > Resolve dependencies from Workspace projects.
None of the above seems to do the trick.
Example:
Simplified project structure:
simple.project
...
sample-module
...
pom.xml
pom.xml
simple.project/pom.xml:
<project ...>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>simple.project</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<modules>
<module>sample-module</module>
</modules>
<dependencies>
<dependency><!-- This dependency is present in "MD" lib. -->
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
simple.project/sample-module/pom.xml:
<project ...>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<parent>
<artifactId>simple.project</artifactId>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>sample-module</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency><!-- I've expected this dependency also to appear in "MD" lib. -->
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
It is not supposed to work. A project only imports a dependency from another one if it depends on that project (using dependency) or if it inherits from it (using parent). The module element only represents an aggregation.
The question is from time ago, but I solved this creating a Maven Project and adding Maven Modules: right click on project and "New > Project... > Maven > Maven Module".
After that, no more errors were shown in code.
First thing that I see is that you're defining dependencies in a pom parent. There I would expect to see a <dependencyManagement> (see here the doc) structure. In this way the submodules will inherit properly those common dependencies.
Aside from that lets start for the most simple test. Try to compile your project from the maven utility in the command line. If it works then you have a problem in your Eclipse configuration, otherwise the problem is in the way you have defined your project.
If your project compiles properly from the command line, lets see what else can be happening.
The fact that the Maven Dependencies Library is empty means that the Eclipse Maven plugin is not resolving properly your poms. I had quite bad experiences with the embedded STS maven plugin. Try to downgrade it to the m2e 0.10 version. You only need to open the STS DashBoard / Find Updates / Install m2e 0.10
I hope some of these tips can help you.
