IntelliJ can't find Java class [duplicate]

Platform: IntelliJ Community Edition 10.0.3
SDK: jdk1.6.0_21
OS: Windows 7
So I have a strange situation with IntelliJ that has me completely stumped. I setup a Maven project and add log4j as a dependency in the pom.xml file. The IDEA inspections run fine and my unit tests all compile and run.
I then added hunnysoft's jmime library to my local maven repository using the mvn install:install-file as follows.
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=jmime.jar -DgroupId=jmime \
-DartifactId=jmime -Dversion=3.1.1e -Dpackaging=jar
Maven installed the jar file just fine into my local repository.
I then went into IntelliJ's Settings => Maven => Repository Services and Updated my local repository (so that IntelliJ would reindex the repository contents).
Finally, I added the following dependency to my pom.xml file (just above the log4j dependency).
<dependency>
<groupId>jmime</groupId>
<artifactId>jmime</artifactId>
<version>3.1.1e</version>
</dependency>
I now create a new class as follows:
package com.stackoverflow.question;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import com.hunnysoft.jmime.ByteString;
import com.hunnysoft.jmime.Field;
import com.hunnysoft.jmime.FieldBody;
public class StackOverflowQuestion {
public Field create(String name, String text) {
Logger.getLogger(getClass()).debug("create entered");
FieldBody body = new FieldBody();
body.setText(new ByteString(text));
Field field = new Field();
field.setFieldName(name);
field.setFieldBody(body);
return field;
}
}
Now for the weirdness. IntelliJ's intention mechanism picks up and recognizes the Logger import in the maven pom file just fine. However, for all of the hunnysoft imports it reports: "Cannot resolve symbol 'ByteString/Field/FieldBody'", BUT Build => Compile 'StackOverflowQuestion.java' compiles everything correctly and the unit test I created for this class runs fine (though the intentions mark the call to create() as a problem area too).
So somewhere, somehow IntelliJ is ignoring the jmime.jar file for the intention subsystem. I'm confused because the log4j dependency works fine and everything compiles and runs fine. F12 ("Go To Declaration") works on the Logger import, but breaks on all the jmime imports.
Oh, one other thing, if I go to the 'Packages' view in the "Projects" window the "com.hunnysoft.jmime" package appears and I can see ALL of the classes I imported in the code snippet above under "Libraries". Removing the above dependency from the pom.xml file causes this package to disappear and the compilation breaks.
It appears that the inspection's classpath is broken, but there does not seem to be a setting for this anywhere in the Settings => Intentions | Compiler areas (not that I expected any such settings, I believe the IDEA should already know the correct classpath based on the pom file and JDK).
As a final experiment I created a brand new standard J2SE application project (without using maven) and added the jmime.jar file directly to the project as one of its libraries. I run into exactly the same problems as described above in this new project.
Here is the MANIFEST.MF from the jmime jar file.
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.5.4
Created-By: 10.0-b23 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Name: com/hunnysoft/jmime/
Sealed: true
Specification-Title: Hunny JMIME
Specification-Version: 3.1.1
Specification-Vendor: Hunny Software, Inc.
Implementation-Title: com.hunnysoft.jmime
Implementation-Version: 3.1.1E
Implementation-Vendor: Hunny Software, Inc.
I don't see anything unusual in this jar file.
My best guess is that perhaps the problem might be a missing dependency issue. But AFAIK jmime is supposed to be self contained (JarAnalyzer doesn't come up with anything, but I'm not sure it would if a dependency jar is missing).
So, anyone have any IDEAs?

First of all you should try File | Invalidate Caches and if it doesn't help, delete IDEA system directory. Then re-import the Maven project and see if it helps.
In some weird cases compiled classes may report wrong info and confuse IDEA. Verify that the classes from this jar report correct names using javap.

The following trick resolved this issue for me:
Right click on the code editor
Hover on Maven and expand
Click on Reimport
My idea version is 12.0.4

None of the solutions above worked for me. What did was removing the main.iml file manually and it suddenly worked.

This was mentioned in another answer to this same question here, but this alone fixes this for me. I do all my builds in a separate terminal, outside of IntelliJ. So the cache's need to have the proper permissions set for the IntelliJ app to read them.
Run it from the project's root folder.
$ mvn -U idea:idea

For Gradle users:
You may need to synchronize your project with your build.gradle file.
You can right-click on your gradle file under the Project pane to do this, but that didn't seem to do anything for me (I suspect a bug in my version). You'll know if this happens because it wont' kick off any IntelliJ tasks that you will be waiting on. Instead, open up the Gradle Tool pane, then click the synchronize (refresh) button. This worked for me where invalidating the cache and restarting did not.
My own circumstance: I was using a Scala project with Gradle and had to do this.

One extra step, when I did File -> Invalidate Caches and restarted the IDE, open a project. It popped up a toastbox on the top-right asking me whether to enable auto-import and that solved the problem.

Inconsistent/duplicate module names in project structure was causing this issue for me.
Go to File -> Project Strucutre -> Modules
In Click on modules which have red underline
Got to "Dependencies" tab
Make sure the dependencies which are red actually exist in dependency list. If not, rename them to match existing dependency names
This can happen when IntelliJ doesn't shut down properly and thus cannot properly save renamed module names.

Another thing to check: Be sure that dependencies are not duplicated. In my case I found that a module exhibiting this behavior was misconfigured as follows: it had a dependency on another module, and it had a dependency on a jar produced by that other module. This meant for every symbol referenced in duplicate, and was ambiguous.

Has a fixed been published? Appears issue originally affected v11/12 due to a "Compiler overhaul" back in 2013. With discussion on related issues in Jira up to end of 2014.
http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-98425
Also on Jira IDEA-98425 was marked fixed but unverified (on v12.0.3). None of the following work-around helped resolve this "Unable to Resolve Symbol" issue with Version 13.1.1 on Windows
a. Delete .IdealIC13 folder (Then, File \ Invalidate Caches / Restart)
b. From Maven Projects window,
b.1 mvn -U idea:idea –〉Executing this maven goal suppose to reload the dependencies. This works prev, but since last FRI, executing this maven goal failed as it tried to recompile the project (Of course it fails as "Unable to resolve Symbols", that's what I am trying to fix by running this command in the first place) mvn -version — shows maven version referenced 3.2.5 and that it's working
b.2 Simply right click project, and Reimport
b.3 File \ Invalidate Caches / Restart
c. Tried both Enable & Disable this setting: File -> Settings -> Maven -> Importing -> "Use maven3 to import project"
d. Settings \ Maven \ Multiproject build fail policy = Fail at end (instead of Default)
Nothing works. What's happenning to IntelliJ support on Maven.
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-99302
From JetBeans release history, https://www.jetbrains.com/company/history.jsp
IntelliJ v14 NOV 2014
IntelliJ v13 DEC 2013
I'd assume v12 fixed (although unverified) would be incorporated in subsequent releases. Any one having similar problems with which IntelliJ version? Please share your experience. IntelliJ maven support seems broken.

Press "shift" two times > "Reimport All Maven projects" always works for me.

None of the other answeres worked for me. My imports were not being resolved because IntelliJ pointed to wrong .m2 file.
IntelliJ Version: IntelliJ Idea 2018.1.5
My location for the .m2 directory was pointed to the wrong path. All I did to fix it was re-point IntelliJ to the right .m2 directory and update it.
First, go to: File->Settings->Build, Execution, Deployment->Build Tools->Maven
I had to change the User settings file: and the Local repository: to the correct location of my .m2 directory.
After this go to: File->Settings->Build, Execution, Deployment->Build Tools->Maven->Repositories
and click the Update button.

I'm jealous of all of you who resolved through File / Invalidate caches. I just spent hours trying everything on this question and a few others from around the web.
The magic menu item didn't do it for me so I invalidated the caches myself by nuking %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2020.3\caches
Once I did this and restarted IntelliJ (2020.3), the indexes were rebuilt and my errors went away.

My Project Structure:
src -> main -> scala -> mypackages
What worked:
Right click on the scala folder, and click "Mark Directory as Sources Root".

I had problem with Maven Importer JDK - somehow it switched itself to JDK 11, but Maven Project reload worked only with JDK 8.

Update 2022
IntelliJ 2022.1 has an interactive, step-by-step process File -> Repair IDE. It leads you through 5 steps in sequence to try and resolve this problem for the current project before invalidating the caches for all projects. From the IDEA documentation:
Refresh Project Indexes
Rescan Project Indexes
Reopen Project
Drop Shared Indexes
Reindex Project
Invalidate Caches and Restart
Steps 1- 3 fixed it for my project.
In v2022.3 and the new UI, this setting is now in File -> Cache Recovery -> Repair IDE. You can also select an individual step from there.

If your maven project is a multi-module project, check if some of the modules are ignored by intellij.
Click on View -> Tool Windows -> Maven Projects, and check if some modules are ignored(Ignored modules are in grey, e.g. gs-multi-module in the following image).
Right click on the ignored module and choose Unignore Projects.
Then wait for intellij to finish indexing, after which it will work.

For Gradle projects:
Exit IntelliJ IDEA
Delete the <problematic-project-root>/.idea directory
Delete the <problematic-project-root>/.gradle directory
Delete all .iml files in <problematic-project-root>
windows command prompt: DEL /S /Q *.iml
linux: find . | grep -e .iml$ | xargs rm
Re-import the project into IntelliJ IDEA with Gradle

In IntelliJ IDEA 2020.3, select:
File > Invalidate Caches / Restart... > Invalidate and Restart
When prompted with Download pre-built shared indexes:
don't import the shared indexes: close the dialog or choose More actions > Don't show again

Yes, sounds like you have to create libraries containing the JARs you need and add them as a dependency in your module.

For another alternative.
I got this problem also when I used JDK7_07. I tried all answers here (except deleting IDEA System Directory). But, I still got the problem. So what I did it is:
Install newest JDK (it was JDK7_45), and set the Intellij's JDK to the new one, and it works.

Re-importing the project worked for me.
Right Click on Project -> Maven ->Reimport
when I did File -> Invalidate Caches and restarted the IDE,open a project. It showed a dialogue on the top-right "Maven changes detected" and gave an option to import and enable auto-import. Even after importing the project here, I had the same issue. The above step solved the problem.

Suggested solutions did not work. I had to unignore several projects, by right clicking on the pom => maven => unignore project.
Then after a
mvn clean install -T 6 -DskipTests
in the console, IntelliJ was happy again. No idea how the projects became ignored...

Sometimes, I just open project structure, and click project, then choose a SDK version.

In my case, I am trying to open a spring boot project from IntellijIdea got the same issue like unable to import all spring related files.
Then I did:
File -> Close Project -> Import Project -> Import from external model -> Choose Gradle -> Next -> Select the project from file location -> Finish
Now everything working fine as expected.
I have seen many answers here but I finally found this solution. It may use for someone like me.

I just had this issue and it would just not go away. I eventually wiped out the IntelliJ config directory in ~ and rebuilt my IntelliJ project from scratch. (This only took about 15 minutes in the end, compared to spending an hour trying to work out problems with cached files, etc.)
Note that my guess is that the initial problem was caused by something like javathings.blogspot.com/2009/11/too-many-open-files-in-intellij-idea.html (NB: as of 2018, that link is dead, but archive.org has a copy of the page from around when this answer was first written -ed.) or a disk space/memory issue causing Java to crash. IntelliJ seemed to just get corrupted.

After invalidating my cache and restarting; and confirming my maven settings were okay, I was still seeing "Cannot resolve symbol" for a module that I definitely had set as a dependency. Turns out I had it set to the wrong scope.
You can check by right clicking on your module and selecting Open Module Settings. Click the dependency tab and verify that the scope for your un-resolvable dependency is set to Compile.

Open "Settings"
Search for "Maven"
Click on "Ignored Files" under "Maven"
Uncheck the pom.xml files contains the missing dependencies
Click "OK"
Click File -> Invalidate Caches/Restart...
Click "Invalidate and Restart"

mvn idea:idea worked for me. Found it here. Spent more than an hour, hope it helps someone

In my case, my project was using Lombok and I was missing the Lombok Plugin in IntelliJ. After installing it everything worked fine.

I tried
File -> Invalidate and Restart
which did not worked for me.
Solution that really worked :
Project Structure -> Modules -> select target folder -> Right click generated-sources and select sources -> Apply -> ok

Weird deployement on Tomcat with Eclipse

I have been working on a Java (Java 8) web application in Eclipse, using maven for one year. I created this webapp and use Maven v 3.5 since the beginning of my project. I usually deploy my web application on a tomcat 8.5 server ('Run as => run on server').
I have always managed my dependencies with my pom.xml, preventing with doing weird things using hte build path configuration menu from Eclipse.
The issue started yesterday : I add a dependency from other java/maven project I have madeand installed simply before, and add this lines on my pom.xml :
<dependency>
<groupId>tlnPdf</groupId>
<artifactId>tlnPdf</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
As my eclipse does sometimes when I add a new dependancy from other project, I had an issue when deploying the webapp, some message (sorry but I can't remember it) about the pom.properties from my other project. In this case, and as I always did, I just have to close my webapp project, launch a mvn eclipse:clean from a command prompt and then reopen my project; and the issue disappear.
Eclipse doesn't show issue on the classes that import classes from the new dependancy included.
Also I have a listener on a class at the starting of my webapp, declared on my web.xml :
<listener>
<listener-class>com.package.InitTomcat</listener-class>
</listener>
This listener is funcional and I have not modified it lastly.
But yesterday, a new issue appear; when I wanted to deploy my webapp on my server, I had a lot of warning like this :
org.apache.catalina.webresources.Cache.getResource Unable to add the resource at [...] to the cache because there was insufficient free space available after evicting expired cache entries - consider increasing the maximum size of the cache. And then, an error telling me that the InitTomcat class does not exist :
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.package.InitTomcat
So, firstly I thought that the cache warning was causing the issue. I did what this this stackoverflow post explain, and the warnings disappeared; but not the error.
Outside from eclipse, in a command prompt, I try to compile my project and getting my app.war file using mvn clean install. The compilation did not show any error, and the war is correct. I deployed manually my war on tomcat and no issue appeared.
Thus, I look on the two deployed directory (one from eclipse, the other manually by my app.war) and I saw something curious on the tree of repository deployed :
On the good deployed webapp (from app.war), I have something like that:
|*some directories and files
|*META-INF
|*WEB-INF
|*classes
|com (etc...)
|*lib
|web.xml
And in the deployed webapp from eclipse :
*some directories and files
*META-INF
*WEB-INF
|*classes
|*.settings (why the hell does this directory are here ?)
|*bin
|*.settings
|*src
|*target
|*classes
|*com ect... (my .class files are here !!)
|*generated-sources
|*m2e-wtp
|*maven-archiver
|*maven-status
|*myapp (this directory have the same content as the "good web app deployed")
|*test-classes
|*WebContent
|*temp
|*webContent
|pom.xml
|.project
|*src
|*target
|*temp
|*WebContent
|*...
|*lib
|web.xml
The "good" webapp as a size of 275Mb, the other is 865Mb
I suspect that the issue occur when eclipse deploy my web-app and which explain that it could not find the InitTomcat class since it seems to be at the wrong place. But I have no idea why it decided to do this now.
I tries to delete the project from eclipse, cleaning eclipse, etc... but no result. I have tried with 3 different versions of tomcat : 8.5.14, 8.2.23 and 9.0.2, always with the same behaviour
As I was depressed, I download the last version of eclipse, and import my webapp project into it with maven; but it has the same result.
Finally, my question is simple : does anyone has an idea of what it is happening, and how to solve it ? Thanks in advance !

I finally saw where my problem was: looking on properties > "deployment Assembly" of my project, the deploy pathes were weird. I dont know when did he change, nor why, but I did the following to reinitiate "cleanly" them:
Delete the project (but not the sources) in eclipse
Manually delete .settings directory, .classpath and .project files
Import as a maven project in eclipse
These do the tricks. The issue is that before, I had not deleted the properties files from eclipse and the bag configuration was reload when importing the project.

Failed make using IntelliJ, JBoss due to multiple configuration issues including Pom.xml

Introduction
I have inherited a project that I am able to build using the maven command mvn clean install -DskipTests. However, I am not able to make using the inteliJ button. I am able to deploy the project using Remote debugging but I am not able to hotswap new code in/out due to make not working.
Errors during make
When I run make I get a series of errors such as:
Older Maven Version
I have been told to use an older version of maven, specifically 3.0.3 .
I have gone to the settings for the current project and manually set maven 3.0.3 as the default.
Question 1) Is there a chance this does not apply to the sub directories? Should I change my system path variable and set the old maven as the system default?
Red Highlighting in POM.XML
I am seeing that InteliJ is highlighting a pom.xml in one of the sub-modules for errors. This code has been committed by colleagues so it is strange that there would be errors.
and
and
Question 2) Could Maven be the issue here? Or could there legitimately be an error in the POM.xml?
Maven > Reimport does not solve the issue
Additionally, running Maven > re-import does not solve the issue.
Updating Indices
I tried selecting the proposed option to Update Maven Indices. This has brought up the following dialogs and is downloading in the background from both the maven servers but also a private artifactory.
The indices were taking too long to update so I invalidated the cache/restarted and will try again as proposed # Intelli J IDEA takes forever to update indices .
Summary of Questions
Question 1) Is there a chance this does not apply to the sub directories? Should I change my system path variable and set the old maven as the system default?
Question 2) Could Maven be the issue here? Or could there legitimately be an error in the POM.xml?
Update
Indices finished downloading after some time.
I removed some of the problematic entries in the pom.xml and the project now is not red-underlying the various packages that they do not exist.
I am starting to believe the pom.xmlwas problematic. However, if someone downloads the dependencies/indices, then the problem no longer appears.
Update - Remove Module
I talked with a colleague and he said the specific modules are no longer used (even if they do include faulty pom.xml files). I was told to right click the module and select "remove module". This pretty much stopped the problem.

Maven Error : Maven Project Configuration for Module isn't available

I keep getting this error when I try to compile my code. I have the pom.xml file in my directories but I am not sure if there is something wrong in there. I found only one link on the internet regarding this and that was not my case: Maven project configuration required for module
Error:Maven Resources Compiler: Maven project configuration required for module 'updater' isn't available. Compilation of Maven projects is supported only if external build is started from an IDE.
Here is the content of my pom file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

</project>
I am using a multi-module project.

Right-click on pom.xml and then click on "Add as Maven Project".

Right click the module and select the Make Module "project module name" option from the pop up menu. The messages will be shown. But go to Problems and see now. This will clear and correct this problem.

In my case the problem ocurred after uprgrading IJ from 14.x to 15.x and disappeared when I issued Build -> Rebuild Project

In case of IntelliJ , Right click on the POM.xml file of your project and click on the option "Add as Maven Project".

My problem with this error under 2019.3.4 is related to the build delegating to Maven. Idea is letting Maven build my project first and that build is failing because I broke a test. I get around this problem by not allowing IDEA to delegate to Maven. On Mac OS Catalina: Intellij -> Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Runner and uncheck Delegate IDE Build/run actions to Maven

The messages originates from Line 43 in /org/jetbrains/jps/maven/compiler/MavenResourcesBuilder.java, so my guess is that it is no pom.xml issue but rather IntelliJ Idea related.
If you dig further into the code, it looks for a file called maven/configuration.xml and from what I see, it searches in some temporary directory.
Maybe you should try and start your build as clean as possible.

Quick solution (IntelliJ IDEA):
Right-click on the project, the select Maven->Reimport

In my case, I had to use the following trick:
Right click the module name in the project panel
Select "Open Module Settings"
In the pop-up window, click Dependencies
Select java version 1.8.0_151

I have the same error after a Intellij Idea version upgrade (2016.3 to 2017.1):
Error:Maven Resources Compiler: Maven project configuration required
for module 'MODULE_NAKE' isn't available. Compilation of Maven
projects is supported only if external build is started from an IDE.
But my solution was another. Somehow, I think the Intellij lost the maven version used in my project. I was using maven 2.2.1 but Intellij was trying to use maven 3.x.
So, my solution was adjust this configuration in:
File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Maven
And set the maven version to 2.2.1.

I had this problem after an Intellij Idea version upgrade. The fix was to wait for it to finish indexing. Then I think it downloaded some stuff it needed.
Makes me think that the other answers on this thread about the IJ version upgrade probably just needed to wait as well - by the time they finished trying a few things the problem was fixed by itself.

In my case this was caused by a misconfiguration of IntelliJ. A long time ago I had been experimenting with the Lifecycle options within the Maven Projects view and had left a few phases in a sub module checked as Execute Before Build.
Because I had completely forgotten having checked these, it took me quite some time to understand the connection with the error messages in the Problems view. After unchecking the Execute Before Build switches of the affected phases everything went back to normal and particularly running unit tests became much faster.

In my case, I invalidated the cache and restarted the IDE. It worked, not sure why though.

I chose the bundled maven installation which helped me.
It could also be something to do with using a symlink to reference the maven installation..
it turns out the version of intelliJ I use (2018.3) can't import maven projects using apache-maven-3.6.2

modify .idea/compiler.xml,add config(should change module name to yourself):

In my case I got this error message, because my Maven configuration in IntelliJ was broken. I had entered invalid options into VM options for importer at Preferences:Build,Execution,Deployment->Build Tools->Maven->Importing.
After deleting these options IntelliJ started to behave normal again.

I am using IDEA with WSL2 and Windows10.
My problem occurred when IDEA automatically set the JDK in WSL2 as project JDK.
After Setting my JDK back to Windows JDK, the error disappearred.

In my case I had all configured to execute the hot reload with devtools after each file change namely:
File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler -> Enable "Build project automatically";
File -> Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Allow auto-make to start even if developed application is currently running.
The maven related error in the Auto-build tab was being displayed and only went away when I deleted .idea folder in the root directory, opened the project again, built the project without maven config (build as Ant project), and configured all again.
After the reset the error disappeared and the maven build was executed without errors.

I was troubled by this problem all afternoon,the solution in stackoverflow is not usefull for me.But I just solved this problem by accident,i don't kown how it worked,but it is effective.If you have the same project structure.
project structure
you can try this
try this button
and you will found all children project is build success. then you can run all project normally.

Go to event log and from there you will see options, what need to fix it

The container 'Maven Dependencies' references non existing library - STS

I'm using win8 previously I had been running Eclipse Juno on my pc but from now on I wanted to start using STS, I am getting the below error as soon as I create a new project. I deleted my .m2 folder and everything related to Eclipse in order to start over from scratch still didn't work, I've ran out of ideas. Any advice???
Can not find the tag library descriptor for "springframework.org/tags" index.jsp /app/src/main/webapp line 6 JSP Problem
The container 'Maven Dependencies' references non existing library 'C:\Users\Pablo.m2\repository\org\springframework\spring-webmvc\3.2.3.RELEASE\spring-webmvc-3.2.3.RELEASE.jar' app Build path Build Path Problem

Class 'org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver' not found [config set: app/web-context] mvc-config.xml /app/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF line 16 Spring Beans Problem

So I get you are using Eclipse with the M2E plugin. Try to update your Maven configuration : In the Project Explorer, right-click on the project, Maven -> Update project.
If the problem still remains, try to clean your project: right-click on your pom.xml, Run as -> Maven build (the second one). Enter "clean package" in the Goals fields. Check the Skip Tests box. Click on the Run button.
Edit: For your new problem, you need to add Spring MVC to your pom.xml. Add something like the following:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
<version>4.0.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
Maybe you have to change the version to match the version of your Spring framework. Take a look here:
http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring-webmvc

I got the same problem and this is how i solved. :
Right click your Spring MVC 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.

Although it's too late , But here is my experience .
Whenever you get your maven project from a source controller or just copying your project from one machine to another , you need to update the dependencies .
For this Right-click on Project on project explorer -> Maven -> Update Project.
Please consider checking the "Force update of snapshot/releases" checkbox.
If you have not your dependencies in m2/repository then you need internet connection to get from the remote maven repository.
In case you have get from the source controller and you have not any unit test , It's probably your test folder does not include in the source controller in the first place , so you don't have those in the new repository.so you need to create those folders manually.
I have had both these cases .

I'm a little late to the party but I'll give my two cents. I just resolved this issue after spending longer than I'd like on it. The above solutions didn't work for me and here's why:
there was a network issue when maven was downloading the required repositories so I actually didn't have the right jars. adding a -U to a maven clean install went and got them for me. So if the above solutions aren't working try this:
Right click on your project -> Choose Run as -> 5 Maven build...
In the Goals field type "clean install -U" and select Run
After that completes right click on your project again and choose Maven -> Update Project and click ok.
Hope it works for you.

I finally found my maven repo mirror is down. I changed to another one, problem solved.

Today I had this same problem with another jar. I tried multiple things people said on Stackoverflow, but nothing worked. Eventually I did this:
Close eclipse and any project-app that is running.
Delete the .m2 folder (Users --> [your_username] --> .m2). It's an invisible folder, make sure you are able to view invisible folders.
Restarted Eclipse (I guess it works in other IDE too) and updated my project.
Now it works again for me. Perhaps this solves the problem for someone else too.

I have solved it using "force update", pressing Alt+F5 as it is mentioned in the following link.

In Eclipse adding to the #Saket Mittal response.
Run As > Maven build...
Set goals clean install and run
