I have an Eclipse project with a GWT client and a Restlet API. I normally use Maven for dependency management but I havent used it in an Eclipse project where seperate parts have seperate dependencies. For example - the client would use Google Gin for dependency injection and the server uses Google Guice.
Am I able to split it into two seperate pom.xml files to manage the dependencies of both seperate areas?
Thanks
You can create a multi module project. See examples here and here and here.
You could create a new pom like this:
<?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"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
<artifactId>your-dependencies</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<dependencies>
...
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.mail</groupId>
<artifactId>mailapi</artifactId>
<version>1.5.0</version>
</dependency>
...
</dependencies>
</project>
Then in your original project just add:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
<artifactId>your-dependencies</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

I have a multi module maven project with three different modules Module-Data, Module-Domain, Module-Web. All three projects are spring boot projects, however Module-Web is the web component of the project that handles everything web oriented which I want to build a war file for. I have a parent project with the following pom file which contains no code.
<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>com.somename</groupId>
<artifactId>My-Project</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<modules>
<module>module-data</module>
<module>module-domain</module>
<module>modele-web</module>
</modules>
Module-Domain depends on Module-Data and Module-Web depends on both Module-Data and Module-Domain. The problem I'm having is that when I try to build the project using maven it fails when building the Module-Domain with the following erros:
package com.somename.data.model does not exist // class file with this error
Module-Domain class files that imports from the Module-Data project fails with this error. I suspect this is because maven is not adding the Module-Data jar to the Module-Domain when building although its referenced in its pom file. How can I solve this problem and generate a war file with all dependencies?
Module-Domain pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.somename.data</groupId>
<artifactId>module-data</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
Module-Web pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>com.somename.data</groupId>
<artifactId>module-data</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.somename.domain</groupId>
<artifactId>module-domain</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
This is a simple straight-forward approach that you are using. Should not cause a problem.
Module-Domain pom.xml:
<parent>
<groupId>com.somename</groupId>
<artifactId>My-Project</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.somename.data</groupId>
<artifactId>module-data</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <!-- Make sure this version is correct -->
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Module-Web pom.xml:
<parent>
<groupId>com.somename</groupId>
<artifactId>My-Project</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.somename.domain</groupId>
<artifactId>module-domain</artifactId> <!-- pulls "module-data" as well : transitive dependency -->
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <!-- Make sure this version is correct -->
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Do maven clean compile on the parent project that would build all the modules.
If you still see any compilation issues, you would need fix the source code.
So here is the scenario.
I have a maven project for which I am using some(7) jars for unit testing. All these jars are present on maven remote/local(.m2) repository. and I have to add them individually as dependency.
I want to create a pom (parent) which contain these jars as dependency so that if I include this pom(parent) as dependency, all 7 dependencies are automatically resolved.
I tried this code but i think there are some issues with packaging type. (pom packaging didn't work either).
<?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" 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>some.package</groupId>
<artifactId>full-PACK</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.javassist</groupId>
<artifactId>javassist</artifactId>
<version>3.21.0</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<!-- 6 more similar dependencies -->
</dependencies>
</project>
I want this pom to just act as pointer, and this should resolve dependencies in their respective packages not in package of this pom. I don't want to create a fat jar for this pom.
Is there a way in which I can use this pom as kind of pointer so that it just tells project to import those 7 jars?
I have not tested it, but following the Maven logic, this should work:
Create a project with packaging pom that references the 7 jars as compile dependencies:
<?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" 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>some.package</groupId>
<artifactId>full-PACK</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.javassist</groupId>
<artifactId>javassist</artifactId>
<version>3.21.0</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<!-- 6 more similar dependencies -->
</dependencies>
</project>
Now declare a test dependency on this pom in your project like
<dependency>
<groupId>some.package</groupId>
<artifactId>full-PACK</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Your approach failed because test dependencies are not transitive. Have a look at the table on
https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html
I created a custom my-commons library with maven. The commons pom contains eg the following dependency:
<?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"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>1.5.4.RELEASE</version>
<relativePath/>
</parent>
<groupId>de.mydomain</groupId>
<artifactId>my-commons</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<properties>
<!-- workaround for http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-603-->
<maven.build.timestamp>${maven.build.timestamp}</maven.build.timestamp>
</properties>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
I installed the custom library into my local repository.
In a different project, I reuse the library. It resolves correctly, so it exists in the repo:
<project ...>
<groupId>de.mydomain</groupId>
<artifactId>my-core</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>my.domain</groupId>
<artifactId>my-commons</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
Now in this project I'd like to use a class org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody.
Problem: the class is not in classpath. So maven complains [ERROR] cannot find symbol.
But why?? I'd expect the dependency being inherited!
Sidenote: I'm using Intellij IDEA if that matters. The same problem applies to all "inherited" libraries. The spring-web lib is just an example.
Please check if .m2 folder contains the jar you want to use or not. You can use mvn install command in commons project to generate the jar. Also you need to add commons project in your project pom that you are running.
You need to create the artifact for your commons project, through its pom.xml.
Like in my below example i created a separate project where i am using the AWS and some other dependency and then final jar, which i am using in other project :-
My AWS-client pom.xml looks like below :-
<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>com.kaamkaj</groupId>
<artifactId>aws-clients</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<name>aws-clients</name>
<properties>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
<project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
<aws.sdk.version>1.11.104</aws.sdk.version>
</properties>
<dependencies>
<!--AWS dependency-->
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.amazonaws/aws-java-sdk-dynamodb -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
<artifactId>aws-java-sdk-dynamodb</artifactId>
<version>${aws.sdk.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.mercadopago</groupId>
<artifactId>sdk</artifactId>
<version>0.3.4</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>mercadopago</id>
<url>https://github.com/mercadopago/sdk-java/raw/master/releases</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
</project>
Also, run mvn clean install on the commons pom, in your case.
And then in all other project where i need to include the aws-client , i use the artifact-id of above project, like below :-
<dependency>
<groupId>com.kaamkaj</groupId>
<artifactId>aws-clients</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
Let me know if you have any questions:
Found it: removing the <maven.build.timestamp>... <property> solved the problem. I don't know why it prevented the inheritance to work properly, especially as I didn't get any errors.
I have a project that depends on hibernate-core 3.6.4.Final, lets call it "MyDatabaseProject".
I have a second project which is a spring-cloud project, it depends on MyDatabaseProject.
The spring cloud project uses spring-cloud-starter-parent Brixton.RELEASE as it's parent pom.
When I check the dependencies (using "mvn dependency:list") I see that I now have a dependency on hibernate-core:4.3.11.Final, not 3.6.4.Final.
If I switch the spring-cloud-starter-parent version back to Angel.SR6, and I check the dependencies (using "mvn dependency:list") I see that I have a dependency on hibernate-core:3.6.4.Final, as I would expect.
It appears to me that something changed in the Brixton.RELEASE that overrides the hibernate-core version.
My question is, is this a bug, or unintentional change in the Brixton.RELEASE?
If it is intentional, what it the correct way to deal with this?
I have tried adding a dependencyManagement section to the spring cloud project pom with the hibernate-core:3.6.4.Final, and that did work, but I don't know if that is the correct way to deal with the problem. It doesn't seem right for the top level project to care about what hibernate version the lower level project uses.
Here are the minimal maven poms for the spring cloud project and the database project:
<?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"

And the database project:

I am creating a project that will be useful for anyone with a java-ee environment. I wan't to include the bare bones java-ee interface library in my project to allow me to code with all of the EJB annotations but i would rather make it's scope provided so as not to import all the classes into my project.
Is there a way I can make this dependency and require any user to have a java-ee library or do I have to make something like maven profiles that activate when it detects each server type, (i.e. one for jboss, one for glassfish, websphere, etc...).
my pom looks like this:
<?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"
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>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>project-that-wants-users-to-have-javaee-libraries</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-Pre-alpha</version>
<dependencies>
....
<dependency>
<groupId>javax</groupId>
<artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
<version>6.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
EDIT: just to clarify what I Am asking, Say I have a maven project like so:
<?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"
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>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>testEJBProject</artifactId>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.spec</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-javaee-all-6.0</artifactId>
<version>3.0.2.Final</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>project-that-wants-users-to-have-javaee-libraries</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-Pre-alpha</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jboss.as.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-as-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>7.4.Final</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
will the dependency in my code be satisfied at runtime even though i'm specifically using the jboss-javaee-all-6.0 api and plugin?
It is my understanding that specifying the java api's and scoping them to provided will cause the dependency to expect anything using it to already have the implementations of those api's on the class path. you specify a dependency as provided like so:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>tobeprovidedproject</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0.Final</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
