Importing Java owlexplanation libraries in Eclipse [duplicate]

I don't know how to use Maven at all. I've been developing for a couple years with Eclipse and haven't yet needed to know about it. However, now I'm looking at some docs that suggest I do the following:
"To include it within your project, just add this maven dependency to your build."
<repository>
<id>jboss</id>
<url>http://repository.jboss.org/maven2</url>
</repository>
...
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
<artifactId>resteasy-jackson-provider</artifactId>
<version>1.1.GA</version>
</dependency>
How do I do this with my Eclipse project?
Please assume I know nothing about Maven. I just figured out it might be installed on my computer by typing mvn on the command line, but that's seriously the extent of my knowledge. I would be happy to continue knowing nothing about Maven if there is an equivalent, non-Maven way of following these instructions with Eclipse.

On the top menu bar, open Window -> Show View -> Other
In the Show View window, open Maven -> Maven Repositories
In the window that appears, right-click on Global Repositories and select Go Into
Right-click on "central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2)" and select "Rebuild Index"
Note that it will take very long to complete the download!!!
Once indexing is complete, Right-click on the project -> Maven -> Add Dependency and start typing the name of the project you want to import (such as "hibernate").
The search results will auto-fill in the "Search Results" box below.

In fact when you open the pom.xml, you should see 5 tabs in the bottom. Click the pom.xml, and you can type whatever dependencies you want.

You need to be using a Maven plugin for Eclipse in order to do this properly. The m2e plugin is built into the latest version of Eclipse, and does a decent if not perfect job of integrating Maven into the IDE. You will want to create your project as a 'Maven Project'. Alternatively you can import an existing Maven POM into your workspace to automatically create projects. Once you have your Maven project in the IDE, simply open up the POM and add your dependency to it.
Now, if you do not have a Maven plugin for Eclipse, you will need to get the jar(s) for the dependency in question and manually add them as classpath references to your project. This could get unpleasant as you will need not just the top level JAR, but all its dependencies as well.
Basically, I recommend you get a decent Maven plugin for Eclipse and let it handle the dependency management for you.

Open the pom.xml file.
under the project tag add <dependencies> as another tag, and google for the Maven dependencies. I used this to search.
So after getting the dependency create another tag dependency inside <dependencies> tag.
So ultimately it will look something like this.
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>doc-examples</groupId>
<artifactId>lambda-java-example</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<name>lambda-java-example</name>
<dependencies>
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.amazonaws/aws-lambda-java-core -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
<artifactId>aws-lambda-java-core</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
Hope it helps.

I have faced the similar issue and fixed by copying the missing Jar files in to .M2 Path,
For example: if you see the error message as Missing artifact tws:axis-client:jar:8.7 then you have to download "axis-client-8.7.jar" file and paste the same in to below location will resolve the issue.
C:\Users\UsernameXXX.m2\repository\tws\axis-client\8.7(Paste axis-client-8.7.jar).
finally, right click on project->Maven->Update Project...Thats it.
happy coding.

I have faced same problem with maven dependencies, eg: unfortunetly your maven dependencies deleted from your buildpath,then you people get lot of exceptions,if you follow below process you can easily resolve this issue.

How do I resolve dependency conflict for a Java file in IntelliJ IDEA?

I have tried to search web for the problem I am facing but maybe I am not asking google the right question so here I am.
I am using IntelliJ IDEA for my multi-module project. For one of my modules, one of the class file is using a static import -
import static javax.ws.rs.core.Response.Status.Family.familyOf;
Being a big project, there are a lot of dependencies downloaded from internal repo but for some reason IntelliJ refuses to use the dependency "javax.ws.rs-api-2.0" instead it is using "jersey-core-1.8". Because of this it is throwing a compilation error saying Cannot find symbol "familyof".
I looked into Response.java from both the dependencies and found that jersey dependency does not have familyof method while javax.ws.rs-api-2.0 has it but IntelliJ doesnt use this dependency. How do I fix this problem. Most of the developers in my team are using Eclipse and they do not have this problem. I am trying to get used to IntelliJ IDE but cant seem to figure a way out of this. Any help in this regard is much appreciated.
PS - This issue does not occur in Eclipse IDE.

I could resolve this issue by following the below mentioned steps -
Goto "Open Module Settings" Command+Down arrow key
Select Dependencies tab
Search for the above two dependencies in the list
Move "javax.ws.rs-api-2.0" dependency up to ensure this dependency is above "jersey-core-1.8" dependency.
I don't think this is a permanent solution but it seemed to work. if someone with in-depth knowledge of Java/Mave/IntelliJ has an answer to this question that would be great!

You may be able to get the right result every time with Maven by shuffling around the dependencies in the pom.xml, and make sure the dependency you want to take precedence is declared first in the list of dependencies. yes, the order in which the dependencies are declared in pom.xml matters !
Then, if all of you are using the same Maven version, you should have a consistent result.

How does Maven choose between two versions of a same dependency?
As explained here, Maven chooses the first met dependency that's why it works when you change the order of the dependency in the pom.
How to find Maven dependencies conflicts?
In a terminal, in the pom folder :
mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose | grep "conflict"
will give you all the dependencies in conflict in your project.
With Eclipse IDE, click on the pom and on the Dependency hierarchy tab. Then, fill the Filter field with a dependency. On the left side, you will see the conflicts (like with mvn dependendy:tree, with filtered results) and on the right side, the dependencies chosen.
With IntelliJ, the documentation of IntelliJ can help you. There is a diagram view to find the conflicts.
How to resolve Maven dependencies conflicts?
Add dependencyManagement tag in the pom to tell Maven which dependency you want
Example :
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-lang3</artifactId>
<version>3.7</version>
</dependency>
<dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
Change the order of the dependency in the pom
Add an exclusion of the dependency
Example :
<dependency>
<groupId>com.my.groupid</groupId>
<artifactId>my-artifact-id</artifactId>
<version>1.2.2</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-lang3</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Why is there a difference between IntelliJ and Eclipse?
You can add a dependency to a module without adding it to the pom as explained in the documentation of IntelliJ. It's probably possible with other IDE.
IntelliJ IDEA lets you add a Maven dependency to your project. We recommend that you specify the dependency inside your POM. Dependencies that you set up manually inside IntelliJ IDEA module settings will be discarded on the next Maven project import.
The Maven plugin in Eclipse (M2Eclipse) may load dependencies differently compared to mvn
Please, read the documentation of IntelliJ to configure the project dependencies easily.

Maven not downloading dependencies in Eclipse

I am setting up a project in eclipse . This projects builds successfully through command line(all mvn commands like mvn package, mvn compile, mvn clean install) work perfectly fine. While setting up this project on STS or Eclipse . I see some of the dependencies are not getting downloaded even though they are present in pom.xml. However, searching them in the maven repository and downloading the jar to my local computer and then adding them to build path makes it work on Eclipse.
Is there anything that we need to do to eclipse to make sure it downloads all the dependencies from the repository.
My POM:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.bookkeeper</groupId>
<artifactId>bookkeeper-server-compat410</artifactId>
<version>4.1.0</version>
<scope>test</scope>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.bookkeeper</groupId>
<artifactId>bookkeeper-server</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.bookkeeper</groupId>
<artifactId>bookkeeper-server-compat420</artifactId>
<version>4.2.0</version>
<scope>test</scope>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.bookkeeper</groupId>
<artifactId>bookkeeper-server</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Both these artifacts were not downloaded for eclipse and there jars found http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.bookkeeper/bookkeeper-server-compat410/4.1.0 and http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.bookkeeper/bookkeeper-server-compat420/4.2.0 were not present in the folder for MavenDependencies and were subsequently giving errors in Eclipse.
However manually adding them to the build path created a new folder (Reference Library) and resolved the Eclipse Errors . Why did Eclipse not download and import these dependencies by themselves from the maven repository ?? Is it a bug in Eclipse or some problem from my side . Please help.

I got the same problem and this is how i solved. :
Right click your project, choose Run As -> Maven install.
Observe the output console to see the installation progress. After
the installation is finished, you can continue to the next step.
Right click your Spring MVC project, choose Maven -> Update Project.
Choose your project and click OK. Wait until update process is
finished.
The error still yet, then do Project->Clean and then be sure you have selected our project directory and then do the follow Project->Build.

Solution 1:
Set correct proxy:
<proxy>
<id>optional</id>
<active>false</active>
<protocol>http</protocol>
<username></username>
<password></password>
<host>172.27.171.91</host>
<port>8080</port>
</proxy>
Solution2 :
just delete
lastupdated extension files from folder
and try updating maven.
[Most of the times this solution will work]

Sometimes there is an error downloading a dependency - eg. some files are downloaded but the actual JAR is missing from the local Maven repository.
In this case I had to delete the whole folder of the problematic dependency in the local maven repository. Only then did Maven update work (Right-click on the project and select Project > Maven > Update Project.... )

In my case, I had unchecked Build automatically. Checking it again started downloading the jars.

I have come across the same issue recently.
First of all you have to configure proxy settings in settings.xml in your maven repository.
If you are using eclipse/STS then please do verify following.
Window -> Preferences -> Maven -> User Settings -> update user settings by pointing your settings.xml
Now it's set to update the maven project. It worked for me.

I was facing similar sort of issue. I tried deleting folders inside .m2 and again building maven project.
I could download all dependency except one dependency which we have created by ourselves and published on Nexus.
Then I changed by java pointing from JRE to JDK which solved my problem

The following worked for me.
Just right-click on Project -> Maven -> Update Project... such as it is shown here.

I had faced a similar issue and following the below steps helped me fix it.
Delete the last modified jar from respective folders.
Select the project
Right Click -> Maven
Update project..
It will download all the missing Jars.

Try to move your dependencies from "type" tag to "scope" tag like below
or
<dependency>
<groupId>net.xyz.xyz</groupId>
<artifactId>xyz-xyz</artifactId>
<version>x.y.z</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
or
<dependency>
<groupId>net.xyz.xyz</groupId>
<artifactId>xyz-xyz</artifactId>
<version>x.y.z</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
then further Maven > Update Project

For me I changed the packaging from pom to jar, and then the dependency got downloaded.
so I changed from <packaging>pom</packaging> to <packaging>jar</packaging>

Make sure you're defining the dependency as close as possible to the leaf of the project tree where it is needed. Otherwise, Maven might ignore it.
For example, if you have a parent project that references projects A and B and the dependency is with respect to project A, then defining the dependency in the parent's pom.xml might get ignored by Maven. So, define it in project A's pom.xml.
Parent Project's pom.xml
Sub-project A's pom.xml <<< define the dependency where it is needed
Sub-project B's pom.xml

I hope this helps someone as it took me 2 days to realize. I re-imported the project multiple times and followed every possible step I've seen online and in the end I had added a small piece of xml code within the pom.xml. Even though it wasn't erroring or even showing a warning it was preventing maven from reading the lifecycle-mappings.
Click into your pom.xml and go to the dependencies tab on the bottom left, if you see an error there it's likely your pom.xml is corrupted in some way and maven will never attempt to download the dependencies even though you won't get any real error. I had looked back at a previous PR and noticed where/what I added and removed it and was able to get maven to work.

Is there a maven repository for flash-selenium.jar?

I recently moved to maven project and since then I found adding dependencies very difficult. Before that I just needed to download the jar and add to library folder .
Now I am searching flash-selenium.jar dependency but I failed to find any. So I added it manually in my C:.m2\repository\org\seleniumhq\selenium\flash-selenium folder but still it is giving error. So how can I use this jar in my maven project?Its a request to people those have 1500 points here , could you please create a label for selenium flash related problems. Thanks

There's no flash-selenium dependency in maven central, but there are other artifacts like:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium</artifactId>
<version>2.0rc2</version>
</dependency>
the complete list:
http://search.maven.org/#search|ga|1|selenium
Maybe some of this fits what you need.

How to add dependency to jfugue using eclipse?

I'm working on a project on Eclipse IDE that requires jfugue. How do I add this dependency to my project, using Maven?
I tried to:
Right click to the project name->Maven->Add Dependency;
I added a dependency from pom.xml form:
<dependency>
<groupId>org</groupId>
<artifactId>jfugue</artifactId>
<version>4.1.0</version>
<type>java-source</type>
</dependency>
I added the repository:
<repository>
<id>jfugue-repo</id>
<url>http://jfugue.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/jfugue/</url>
</repository>
It search files with a broken link but I can't see it because it not appear for more than one second in the Progress View.
How can I fix this? Thanks for your help.
UPDATE 1
jfugue pom.xml is this.
Mine pom.xml is this.

It seems that the pom.xml doesn't have remote repositories. Use the following link to figure out how to install jar into the local repository. You have also remove <repository tag from your project's pom.xml.
