couldn't create maven project [duplicate] - java
I imported my already working project on another computer and it started to download dependencies.
Apparently my internet connection crashed and now I get the following:

How do I force maven to update?
mvn clean install -U
-U means force update of snapshot dependencies.
Release dependencies will be updated this way if they have never been previously successfully downloaded. ref: https://stackoverflow.com/a/29020990/32453
If your local repository is somehow mucked up for release jars as opposed to snapshots (-U and --update-snapshots only update snapshots), you can purge the local repo using the following:
mvn dependency:purge-local-repository
You probably then want to clean and install again:
mvn dependency:purge-local-repository clean install
Lots more info available at https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/examples/purging-local-repository.html
-U seems to force update of all SNAPSHOT dependencies.
If you want to update a single dependency without clean or -U you could just remove it from your local repo and then build.
The example below if for updating slf4j-api 1.7.1-SNAPSHOT:
rm -rf ~/.m2/repository/org/slf4j/slf4j-api/1.7.1-SNAPSHOT
mvn compile
All the answers here didn't work for me. I used the hammer method:
find ~/.m2/ -name "*.lastUpdated" | xargs rm
That fixed the problem :-)
You can do effectively from Eclipse IDE. Of course if you are using it.
Project_Name->Maven->Update Project Configuration->Force Update of Snapshots/Releases
Just in case someone wants only update project's snapshot dependencies and doesn't want to install artifact:
mvn dependency:resolve -U
Don't forget to reimport dependencies in your IDE. In IDEA you need to right click on pom file and choose Maven -> Reimport
If you're unsure what is inside your local repository, I recommend to fire a build with the option:
-Dmaven.repo.local=localrepo
That way you'll ensure to build in a cleanroom environment.
In my case first I did was:
mvn clean install -U
Still it was showing same error then I closed project and again reopened it. Finally worked.
If you are using eclipse IDE then :
Select Project.
Press alt+F5, window for Update Maven Project will pop up.
Check - Force Update of Snapshots/releases and click OK.
If Using Intellij IDE
go to settings/Maven
check Always update snapshots
I used the IntelliJ IDE and I had a similar problem and to solve I clicked in "Generate Sources and Update Folders for All Projects" in Maven tab.
Previous versions of maven did not force the check for missing releases when used -U with mvn clean install, only the snapshots, though newer version supports this.
For someone still struggling with previous version, following can be helpful-
On Windows:
cd %userprofile%\.m2\repository
for /r %i in (*.lastUpdated) do del %i
On Linux:
find ~/.m2 -name "*.lastUpdated" -exec grep -q "Could not transfer" {} \; -print -exec rm {} \;
Whenever maven can't download dependencies for any reason (connectivity/not exists etc), it will add the ".error=Could not transfer artifact" in dependency-name.lastUpdate file in respective folder under $home/.m2 directory. Removing these files will force maven to try fetching the dependencies again.
mvn clean install -e -U -Dmaven.test.skip=true
-e Detailed exception
-U forced update
-DskipTests does not execute test cases, but compiles test case classes to generate corresponding class files under target/test classes.
-Dmaven.test.skip=true, do not execute test cases or compile test case classes.Using maven. test. skip not only skips running unit tests, but also skips compiling test code.
A small suggestion. If you use the IntelliJ Idea compiler, it is recommended to clean the cache
I've got the error in an other context.
So my solution might be useful to others who stumple upon the question:
The problem:
I've copied the local repository to another computer, which has no connection to a special repository.
So maven tried to check the artifacts against the invalid repository.
My solution:
Remove the _maven.repositories files.
You need to check your settings.xml file under <maven_home>/conf directory.
This is one of the most annoying things about Maven. For me the following happens: If I add a dependency requesting more dependencies and more and more but have a slow connection, it seams to stop while downloading and timing out. While timing out all dependencies not yet fetched are marked with place holders in the .m2 cache and Maven will not (never) pick it up unless I remove the place holder entry from the cache (as other stated) by removing it.
So as far as I see it, Maven or more precise the Eclipse Maven plugin has a bug regarding this. Someone should report this.
It's important to add that the main difference of running mvn with -U and without -U is that -U will override your local SNAPSHOT jars with remote SNAPSHOT jars.
Local SNAPSHOT jars created from local mvn install in cases where you have other modules of your proj that generate jars.
For fixing this issue from Eclipse:
1) Add below dependency in Maven pom.xml and save the pom.xml file.
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.thoughtworks.xstream/xstream -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.thoughtworks.xstream</groupId>
<artifactId>xstream</artifactId>
<version>1.3.1</version>
</dependency>
2) Go to project >> Maven >> Update Project
select the project and click OK.
3) Optional step, if it's not resolved till step 2 then do below step after doing step-1
Go to project >> Maven >> Update Project >> check in the checkbox 'Force Update of Snapshots/Releases'
select the project and click OK.
-U is used to force update maven Repo.
Use
mvn -U clean install
I've got the same error with android-maps-utils dependency. Using aar type package in dependency section solve my problem.
By default type is jar so It might be checked what type of dependency in repository is downloaded.
I tried all the answers here but nothing seemed to work. Restarted my computer first then ran mvn clean install -U. That solved my problem.
What maven does is, it downloads all your project's dependencies into your local repo (.m2 folder). Because of the internet causing issues with your local repo, you project is facing problems. I am not sure if this will surely help you or not but you can try deleting all the files within the repository folder inside the .m2 folder. Since there would be nothing in the local repo, maven would be forced to download the dependencies again, thus forcing an update.
Generally, the .m2 folder is located at c:users:[username]:.m2
after using mvn clean install -U run as maven test also and after that update your project using maven-update project
this works in my case
I had this problem for a different reason. I went to the maven repository https://mvnrepository.com looking for the latest version of spring core, which at the time was 5.0.0.M3/ The repository showed me this entry for my pom.xml:
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring-core -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
<version>5.0.0.M3</version>
</dependency>
Naive fool that I am, I assumed that the comment was telling me that the jar is located in the default repository.
However, after a lot of head-banging, I saw a note just below the xml saying "Note: this artifact it located at Alfresco Public repository (https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/repositories/public/)"
So the comment in the XML is completely misleading. The jar is located in another archive, which was why Maven couldn't find it!
We can force to get latest update of release and snapshot repository with below command :
mvn --update-snapshots clean install
I had the same error and running mvn install -U and then running mvn install worked for me.
mvn clean install -U doesn't work. However mvn -U clean followed by mvn clean install does.

fetch all maven dependencies including plugin dependencies
I'm trying to get maven to download all dependencies (compile, test, plugins, etc.) so that I can avoid having our dockerized builds waste unnecessary time downloading them over and over again. We have dockerized our maven build so that we can run it from our jenkins without having a lot of build specific dependencies installed on the jenkins machine (Java, redis, maven dependencies, etc.). Our build relies on incremental docker builds that only executes steps that actually need re-running. Our main build is a DockerFile that has several steps to install the jdk, maven, etc. Then it does a COPY ./pom.xml /opt/inbot-api/pom.xml RUN mvn dependency:copy-dependencies clean This will download dependencies to the local maven repository and then cleans out the target directory. Then we copy the source tree to the image and run the full build. COPY ./src /opt/inbot-api/src RUN mvn -e clean install The general idea is that on a clean machine, docker will execute all the RUN steps but on incremental builds it will only rerun things that need re-running. After each run step, it stores an intermediary image. So, if the pom file doesn't change, there's no need to rerun the dependency fetching step because it would produce the exact same outcome. So, instead it loads the cached intermediary image with all the dependencies already downloaded. This is exactly what we want. There's a lot more to our DockerFile that is not so relevant here but ultimately it produces a docker file with our compiled artifacts, an nginx config and all our runtime dependencies that we can deploy to ECS. This nearly works except the mvn clean install still downloads additional plugin dependencies on every build. So, these are dependencies that the copy-dependencies step does not cover. My question, how do I get RUN mvn dependency:copy-dependencies clean to download all dependencies including the plugin dependencies. I've seen people actually do a mvn verify clean instead of mvn dependency:copy-dependencies clean but that is kind of slow in our case. I was wondering if there was a better way to do this. I'd appreciate any feedback on how to improve this. Update I now do a RUN mvn -B -T 4 dependency:copy-dependencies dependency:resolve-plugins dependency:go-offline clean And it still downloads more stuff with the mvn clean install after that. A mvn -o clean install still fails, despite the dependency:go-offline. So, it seems this plugin is broken.
This works for me, no other dependencies to download: RUN mvn -B dependency:resolve dependency:resolve-plugins
For the plugin i would suggest to use mvn dependency:resolve-plugins See the documentation: https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/
I almost resolve with this: RUN mvn install -DskipTests dependency:resolve dependency:resolve-plugins
Maven pom.xml file shows error
i cloned a maven project from git hub. But in the pom file it shows error.git hub project don't have any errors. Because it is working perfectly in another machine.And i'm not behind any proxy servers. I tried most of the sollutions in the stackoverflow. But i could not overcome from that issue. ERROR Failure to transfer org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:pom:2.10 from http:// repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced. Original error: Could not transfer artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:pom:2.10 from/to central (http:// repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): null to http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/ plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/2.10/maven-surefire-plugin-2.10.pom What i have done so far? Right Click on Projec --> Maven -->update project. it doesn't work Run as maven install Delete Project and got a fresh copy again. same issue was there Set maven to out side maven folder Deleted all maven settings. re installed. Re installed fresh copy of eclipse and changed by workspace Nothing works for me. Plz help me.....
Go to your local repo (usually it is under .m2), and search for org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin directory. You will find there a "placeholder" - try to delete this directory and try to re-build. Then, I suggest to build the project from command-line, and not from any other tool such as eclipse, because all IDEs may faces issues, so first let's make sure the project compiles successfuly from command line, and only then we will try to solve IDEs issues. In addition, #ben is correct - you can run mvn -U clean install to force maven to download a fresh copy.
try find ~/.m2 -name "*.lastUpdated" -exec grep -q "Could not transfer" {} \; -print -exec rm {} \;
Try disabling Maven nature and again enable Maven. Right click the project => Maven => Disable Maven Nature Right click the project => Configure => Convert to Maven Project Try is this works.
Maven command to download latest version of a jar
We have a process to update part of a build that is not in Maven yet but will be soon. Once built, we manually put the jar in Nexus and then update the pom files that are in SVN. Works fine and doing a "mvn clean install" pulls down the new .jar and creates a new folder in my local repository etc. Grand. Now I would like to be able to get any new version that has been uploaded by making a mvn call without doing a build (as with mvn install). I was looking at mvn dependency:get but it seems to have a lot of parameters that only gave me errors. [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.1:get(default-cli) on project workflow-project: The parameters 'repositoryUrl' for goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.1:get are missing or invalid -> [Help 1] I have tried adding the mentioned repositoryUrl param but it too gives me errors, not least about deprecation. Is this the correct goal? How is it most simply used if so?
Use the Maven Versions plugin. It has a ton of useful commands for managing dependency versions in a POM. For example, you can run the following: mvn versions:use-latest-versions That command will replace versions in your POM with the latest version of artifacts. There are optional parameters you can pass to have more fine-grained control. For example, you can use the includes parameter to specify a particular artifact to update to the latest version.
Perhaps you would be happy with a mvn compile Which would load the dependencies and compile but go no futher. The only changes would be in target
How to force m2eclipse to look for new dependencies after network outage?
we are using m2eclipse 0.12.1 together with nexus oss 1.9.0.1 repository. Today, during a downtime of the nexus server, some user did use "update dependencies" in m2eclipse, which did result in a broken project configuration (artifact not found ... for nearly all dependencies) The problem is, after the nexus server comes back online, update dependences still did not work, it seems not trying to reach the server. The only brute force sollution which did work was to delete the local repository. Then all dependencies got successfully downloaded. So, it seems the local metadata went corrupt, or tell m2eclipse not to look on the server again. How to force m2eclipse to download the dependencies? Or how to tell m2eclipse to enable the nexus server again ?
You have to remove all "*.lastUpdated"-files from your local Maven repository. On Linux you can use this line to do that: find ~/.m2/repository -name "*lastUpdated" -print0 | xargs -0 -r rm And then use Maven -> Update Dependencies in Eclipse.
Do a "project clean" for all projects or, if this doesn't eliminate the build path errors, restart eclipse with the clean option. If all doesn't help: create a new workspace and (physically) import all projects through the eclipse IDE. This will create new project metadata and leave the old workspace unaffected.
