gwt-maven-plugin-2.8.1
when I run the application from eclipse using “mvn gwt:run-codeserver”, it says http://127.0.0.1:9876 started and ready. But I see some errors before that:
Tracing compile failure path for type ‘...’: ERROR Line xxx: No source code is available for type org.slf4j.LoggerFactory; did you forget to inherit a required module?
I see several of them like above in the console. When I run http://127.0.0.1:9876 I see: GWT Code Server

When I click on my module, I see “this module hasn’t been compiled yet”. Please advise.

Why gradle is not loading transitive dependencies of one of the dependencies?

Updated Question
gradle is loading my project's dependency guice-3.0.jar, but guice's dependencies are NOT being loaded by gradle.
guice-3.0.jar > META-INF > DEPENDENCIES (file) has the following content:
// ------------------------------------------------------------------
// Transitive dependencies of this project determined from the
// maven pom organized by organization.
// ------------------------------------------------------------------
Google Guice - Core Library

From: 'ObjectWeb' (http://www.objectweb.org/)
- ASM Core (http://asm.objectweb.org/asm/) asm:asm:jar:3.1
gradle seems to be failing in loading javax.inject. So, I get the error mentioned below.
Work-around
I added guice's dependencies direct into build.gradle of my project.
compile group: 'aopalliance', name: 'aopalliance', version: 1.0
compile group: 'javax.inject', name: 'javax.inject', version: 1
compile group: 'org.sonatype.sisu.inject', name: 'cglib', version: '2.2.1-v20090111'
compile group: 'asm', name: 'asm', version: 3.1
Questions
It works as a hack, but any genuine fixes are required.
Looking at other jars required by my project, they have dependencies defined in META-INF > maven > lib-name-folder-hierarchy > pom.xml, but this guice-3.0.jar has dependencies defined in META-INF > DEPENDENCIES file. Can this different convention cause any issues?
Original Question
For one of my java projects, I performed gradlew --refresh-dependencies, and the project build compileJava task started throwing the following error:
:myproject:compileJava
/<path-to-my-project/MyProvider.java:24: error: cannot access Provider
public class MyProvider<T> implements Provider<T> {
^
class file for javax.inject.Provider not found
An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.8.0_181). Please file a bug against the Java compiler via the Java bug reporting page (http://bugreport.java.com) after checking the Bug Database (http://bugs.java.com) for duplicates. Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report. Thank you.

It's openJDK.
Well, my team-mates, who haven't performed gradlew --refresh-dependencies are facing no such issues. I don't think it's java compiler issue, but it seems to be gradle issue.
When I check using eclipse, the MyProvider.java refers to com.google.inject.Provider from guice-3.0.jar.
com.google.inject.Provider refers to javax.inject.Provider, and that seems to be not included in the dependencies.
Any solutions to resovle the issue?
Any ways to rollback the refresh-dependencies command?
Any work-arounds?
I performed cleanEclipse, eclipse, upgraded gradle to 3.5, and then downgraded to 2.14.1, but no luck.
The similar issue was reported to java but it was closed as Cannot Reproduce: https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8222198 .

Nosuchmethoderror:org.glassfish.jersey.internal.l10n.LocalizableMessageFactory

I m working with jersey2.29 and Spring 4 to develop a web application. The following are my dependencies.
When starting Tomcat server 8 server, it doesn't start and I get the following error

I tried adding all the latest jar files in WEB-INF/lib

You not have minimal dependency for jersey-spring4 which is Spring 4.3.8
org.springframework spring-aop 4.3.8.RELEASE jar Apache License, Version 2.0
org.springframework spring-beans 4.3.8.RELEASE jar Apache License, Version 2.0
org.springframework spring-core 4.3.8.RELEASE jar Apache License, Version 2.0
org.springframework spring-web 4.3.8.RELEASE jar Apache License, Version 2.0
You should use spring-jersey3 jar

SonarQube "Class Not Found" during Main AST Scan

My setup:
Sonarqube 5.1.1
Sonar-Maven Plugin 2.6 (also tried 2.7 and 3.6)
JDK 1.7.0_51
Example of the error:
16:00:54 [INFO] [23:00:54.219] Sensor JavaSquidSensor
16:00:55 [INFO] [23:00:55.030] Java Main Files AST scan...
16:00:55 [INFO] [23:00:55.030] 1532 source files to be analyzed
16:00:58 [ERROR] [23:00:57.927] Class not found: javax.annotation.Nullable
16:00:58 [ERROR] [23:00:57.928] Class not found: javax.annotation.CheckReturnValue
16:00:58 [ERROR] [23:00:58.114] Class not found: javax.annotation.Nullable
According to this stackoverflow question, javax.annotation should be part of java 1.7 and up. Furthermore, I've tried putting it in the local maven repository but that didnt help.
So where is Sonar trying to find this package? Any help?!?
Update:
I've tried modifying the sonar-maven-plugin to include a dependency on javax.annotation
I've tried putting the dependency in my maven's settings.xml
Upgrading my JDK to 1.8 has not helped.

According to http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/index.html?javax/annotation/package-summary.html the classes you expect are not part of JDK 7.
The classes you're looking for are part of google JSR-305 implementation that was initiated here https://code.google.com/p/jsr-305/source/browse/trunk/ri/src/main/java/javax/annotation/Nullable.java?r=24 and which moved to Findbugs:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.code.findbugs</groupId>
<artifactId>jsr305</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>
According to https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=305 the JSR-305 is finished, but is in dormant status and has not been added to a JDK release yet.
Hope it helps.

To avoid adding SonarQube specific dependencies to your project, define a profile like this:
<profile>
<id>sonarqube</id>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.joda</groupId>
<artifactId>joda-convert</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.code.findbugs</groupId>
<artifactId>jsr305</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</profile>
Then run your sonar analysis with a command like
mvn org.sonarsource.scanner.maven:sonar-maven-plugin:3.0.1:sonar -Psonarqube,sonarqube-dev
The sonarqube-dev profile is defined in my ~/.m2/settings.xml and it just specifies where my development environment SonarQube installation is
<profile>
<id>sonarqube-dev</id>
<properties>
<!-- no direct db connections in new sonar -->
<sonar.host.url>
http://localhost:9000/
</sonar.host.url>
</properties>
</profile>
What is achieved by all this?
sonarqube analysis specific dependencies don't pollute the project unnecessarily
no sonarqube maven plugin defined in pom.xml. Each developer and Jenkins can use whatever sonar plugin and server installation they wish

This is more an addendum to the latest answer:
I see similar problems and adding the google findbugs dependency to the project dependencies helps. Similar problems occured with joda convert like
[ERROR] [20:44:25.247] Class not found: org.joda.convert.ToString
Hence I also added
`<dependency>
<groupId>org.joda</groupId>
<artifactId>joda-convert</artifactId>
<version>1.8.1</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>`
But note, that I set the scope to provided to prevent these new dependencies to be added to a resulting war file.
However, I still wonder why these errors occur since none of the analyzed classes seem to use these annotations?

Dependency not installed when installing Eclipse

I am developing an Eclipse plugin. That is using UI and file resources. Which required org.eclipse.core.resources;bundle-version="3.8.101" and filed if this dependency is not available on target eclipse.
Eclipse version: Juno (for Android development).
I want to install this jar if not available on target Eclipse. So my plugin run without any issue for target Eclipse.
