Could not resolve dependencies for maven project

[sam White]

Please refer to attachment for the snapshot of uploaded file structure in my local Nexus Sonatype server.

when I used command "mvn compile war:war", the following error indicated that the files are not found in my local nexus repositories, whereas it is supposed in the local repositories as shown in the attachment.

You're getting some warnings on your plugins. Prior to about Maven Version 3, plugins didn't need to specify versions, but that has now changed. No harm as of yet, but it's worth fixing.

You specified a number of Liferay artifacts as dependencies but they did not resolved properly, either because they weren't installed into the Maven repository and couldn't be downloaded or because the downloaded copies are defective (for example, because the disk containing your Maven cache filled up or there was a network error on download).

If the downloaded copies are defective, the quickest solutions is to go into your cache and delete them all ("$HOME/.m2/org/liferay" for Linux/Unix).

If these are artifacts that you had to manually add to the cache because they're not in a public Maven repository, delete them and try re-adding them.

I need these files. That s why I uploaded these artifacts to my local Nexus Sonatype server (as shown in my previous post above).
But I don't know how to reference them from the pom.xml file in my Maven project.

Here is my pom.xml file:

Thank you very much for your suggestion.

According to you Nexus screen shot, you used a groupId of com.liferay.portal for the liferay artifacts. But in the pom.xml you are using com.liferay (line 214)

By the way, if you click on any of the artifacts in Nexus, a window should unfold that gives you the full artifact name.

I looked at the screenshot again - you are missing the POM files in Nexus. And you are missing the SHA1 and MD5 has files. I suspect that you "uploaded" the liferay jars into Nexus by copying them into the file structure. Don't do that! Instead, use the upload capability built into Nexus or use the Maven deploy:deploy-file goal.

Very appreciate for the suggestion.
I have implemented the fixes in Sonatype local server and the pom.xml file.
I have also remove c:/maven/repositories/com/liferay/* and let maven install the jar files by downloading liferay files from my local Sonatype storage, but I am still getting the same error.

Here is the error:

Attached is screenshot of my local Sonatype server.


Thanks again for your suggestion.

After maven downloaded liferay files from my local Sonatype server, I found the jar file is missing in my local repositories (eg. C:\maven\repository\com\liferay\portal\portal-impl\5.2.8).

The files contain in this folder (C:\maven\repository\com\liferay\portal\portal-impl\5.2.8) is:

portal-impl-5.2.8.jar.lastUpdated
portal-impl-5.2.8.pom.lastUpdated

I don't know what happen with the .jar file. Why portal-impl-5.2.8.jar and the *.sha1 files are missing?

Thanks
Sam

Hello,

I used debug mode with maven commandline
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.liferay.portal -DartifactId=portal-impl -Dversion=5.2.8 -Dfile=C:\repository\com\liferay\portal-impl\5.2.EESP4\portal-impl-5.2.8.jar -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true -X


Now it prints a more descriptive error:

I have further corrected the error, but the installed directory still contains no .jar file.
Here is the output from the commandline:

I also executed mvn compile war:war -X, which prints the following error:

Looking at the error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project ixsystems-registration: Could not resolve dependencies for project ixsystems:ixsystems-registration:war:1.0-SNAPSHOT: The following artifacts could not be resolved: com.liferay.portal:util-java:jar:5.2.8, com.liferay.portal:util-bridges:jar:5.2.8, com.liferay.portal:portal-kernel:jar:5.2.8, com.liferay.portal:portal-impl:jar:5.2.8, com.liferay.portal:portal-service:jar:5.2.8: Failure to find com.liferay.portal:util-java:jar:5.2.8 in http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public/ was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1]

It looks like the listed artifacts are still not in either your local repository or in Nexus. Open your browser and loot at http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public/, then see if you can go to com/liferay/portal (final URL will be http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public/com/liferay/portal). You should have a directory for each artifact there.


By the way, in the future do not post these lengthy console outputs. Instead, redirect them to a file and attach the file. Right now this thread is pretty much unreadable. I edited the last post for you to do this, it would help if you did the same for the others.

It looks like the listed artifacts are still not in either your local repository or in Nexus. Open your browser and loot at http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public/, then see if you can go to com/liferay/portal (final URL will be http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public/com/liferay/portal).

liferay 5.2.8 is not on the following path:

http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public/com/liferay/portal/

Instead, there is only 6.0.6 as shown below:

http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public/com/liferay/portal/portal-impl/6.0.6/

the 6.0.6 was the one I downloaded from Maven repositories a while ago.

I just found that I have uploaded liferay 5.2.8 to the following path:

http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/repositories/Liferay-ee-sp4-local/com/liferay/portal/
eg.
http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/repositories/Liferay-ee-sp4-local/com/liferay/portal/portal-impl/5.2.8/

Have I messed up the path?
Do I have to upload 5.2.8 to http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public/com/liferay/portal/ so that Maven can find the file?

The following is how I created my liferay 5.2.8 repository:

Repository Information:

Repository ID: Liferay-ee-sp4-local
Repository Name: Liferay EE SP4 Local
Repository Type: hosted
Repository Policy: Release
Repository Format: maven2
Contained in groups:

should I enter "liferay" as the Repository Id?

Thanks
