Failed to read artifact descriptor for com.google.guava (nexus)

I'm trying to do contract testing using Pact and working in a corporate where we have a Nexus setup. I suspect that the modified Eclipse installation here uses the Nexus not the Maven repo. I created a sample Maven project, copied the following pom from a similar consumer project and just modified the provider dependency:

I tried to Maven\Update Project with Force Update option with no luck. When I search the reported dependency, I can see it in our Nexus:
Another similar pom causes no problem in the same eclipse workspace:

My colleague from Nexus team has reported that a similar issue in guava-retrying is closed by using a different version. But I'm not direcly using the guava-retrying, it is the pact provider library (reported by a dependency analyzer used in our organization):
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project contract-testing-fatura-provider: Could not resolve dependencies for project ctfaturaprovider:contract-testing-fatura-provider:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at au.com.dius.pact.provider:junit:jar:4.4.2 -> com.github.rholder:guava-retrying:jar:2.0.0 -> com.google.guava:guava:jar:31.1.0.redhat-00001: Failed to read artifact descriptor for com.google.guava:guava:jar:31.1.0.redhat-00001: Could not find artifact com.google.guava:guava-parent:pom:31.1.0.redhat-00001 in maven-public (https://nexus.akbankpreprod.com/repository/maven-public/)
I'm new to this maven and nexus and all the other fancy stuff. Where should I look at?

The solution is here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/74897084/1728856. Is is basically JBoss setup asking for a 10.+ version of Guava and Maven picking a broken one.

build jar file from a spring project with foreign database connection

I'm trying to build my Spring boot project to a JAR file.in my project, I used a local MySQL database to store my data but now my project is finished and is ready to launch it on a Linux server but when I change the MySQL connection info from application.properties the maven cant package the project and I'm getting this error

my only problem is a simple change I want to change my connection info on the server

Comment this //#SpringBootTest on the Test class of your project

From your description
the maven cant package the project
This suggests that the Spring Boot Uber Jar is not being packaged as the test phase is failing in your Maven lifecycle. Generally speaking, the Boot Jar should be packaged/assembled before deploying to your server, thus you should have no concerns for tests failing.
If you are building this on a server for the propose of producing your Boot Jar artifact from there, then that suggests that the datasource configuration you have defined is not applicable or correct in that environment. You will either need to skip the tests requiring the local datasource, or provide a datasource that will allow your tests to succeed.
Spring Boot provides a robust configuration management system that can be adjusted based on environmental or even run by run contexts. In fact, you are already using it and are set to go with it based on your description that you are changing the application.properties file.
High level information is detailed here. In particular, note the section describing the order the property sources are evaluated, as that gives you the power you need to adapt the properties depending on your deployment situation.
There are many options for you to proceed with, but generally speaking I have my development teams configure the application.properties file built into the jar (from the main resource sourceset by default) to work on default development environments. Developers can also place an application.properties file in the working directory of their development environment to override these settings based on their development environments. Properties can also be provided in the same fashion on build systems, or servers. It also is convenient to define them via environment variables, or via profiles which can define a large set of them based on the active profiles configuration property. Large/expansive infrastructure can also benefit from Spring Cloud Config simplifying this management even greater.

I have tried setting classpath explicitly through info from bunch of forums but that didn't help running the application through cmd. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Had same ClassNotFoundException with Gradle + JMH which was an incompatibility bug fixed in recent versions (jmh-gradle-plugin >= 0.5.0). As blase as this advice is: try upgrading (or downgrading) and seeing if it still occurs.

Maven build fails on Jenkins

I have a Maven project I want to deploy on a Payara server using Jenkins. There are two projects: a domain project and a Spring Web MVC project. The Spring project is configured to build after the domain project, as it is dependant on the domain project.
Each time I commit my project, the build is triggered. However, I always get the following error: Failed to parse POMs. See full console ouput below.
This is my first time using Payara and Jenkins, and I can't really wrap my head around what I'm doing wrong... Any help or steering in the right direction would be greatly appreciated :)

This seems to be an issue with Jenkins, already answered here: Getting exception while configuring the maven project in jenkins
My solution was to set the change the build configuration:
In Configure > Build > Advanced:
Set Settings file to Settings file in filesystem and enter the path to your settings file. In my case: /root/.m2/settings.xml
Set Global Settings file to Global settings file on filesystem and enter the path to your global settings file. I don't have one (I think) so I just set it to /root/.m2/settings.xml also.
That should do the trick. Now I just have to solve a dozen other build errors :)

Maven-plugin-plugin default-descriptor error message after upgrade to 3.1.1

I am upgrading my system's Maven runtime from 3.0.5 to 3.1.1 and trying to build my project using mvn clean install like I normally would. Using the older Maven runtime, the build would always succeed. However, I am now always getting this error message during the build:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-plugin-plugin:3.2:descriptor (default-descriptor) on project XYZ: Execution default-descriptor of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-plugin-plugin:3.2:descriptor failed: 48188 -> [Help 1]
I thought that perhaps it was due to my dependencies and plugins being outdated, so I ran mvn versions:use-latest-versions to update my pom.xml versions. That still did not fix this issue. Any ideas?
UPDATE
By popular demand, here is what my pom.xml file looks like. Note that all dependency and plugin versions were updated by mvn versions:use-latest-versions except for Sitebricks and qdox, due to breaking changes that I didn't want to integrate into my project.

I had exactly the same problem and tried probably every hint provided in the possible duplicate Basic maven plugin project not working, Mojo plugin descriptors not generating, but nothing worked. Eventually in turned out that an old version 2.6.1 of the library com.ibm.icu:icu4j that was used by some other 3rd party module was responsible. I got rid of the icu4j dependency entirely and maven-plugin-plugin run with out problems thereafter.
