I have added dependencies in pom.xml and immediately the corresponding jars started to show up in maven dependencies section of dynamic web project.
I just want to know that I have not done mvn install in cmd so how did they get saved in maven repository.
Another query I have, is that since jars are availble in maven dependencies folder of dynamic wep project, so my project runs successfully or not as depndencies are already satisfied without doing mvn install.
When you list a <dependency> in your project's POM, M2Eclipse (Eclipse's plugin in this case) will trigger Maven to resolve that declared dependency...meaning Maven will check your local repo first for that dependency, and if it's not found there it will pull it down from the next highest repo you have configured (possibly an agency-level repo, or Maven's default public repo on the web).
No mvn install is required, as the purpose of that would be to install your current project's packaged artifact into your local repo, rather than install any dependency.
Hope this helps to clarify why an install is not used to copy dependencies into your local repo.

I am using the maven embedded eclipse.
Tried :
Deleting the whole m2 repository.
Maven->Update Project.
Run as -> Maven Build
User settings file does not exist(Please don't tell me it has to something with this file)
settings.Xml file
This file is only required if you are using a proxy and i am not
I have every dependency present in pom.xml file of my project but still eclipse is not able to import all these dependencies in the project
I have attached the photo below. Please help me to resolve my issue
mvn dependency:tree
Maven Dependencies
POM.xml file
List of dependency present in pom file of my project
None of the methods mentioned above worked so please help me to solve this issue.
Is there anything related to maven or eclipse version ?
When you execute mvn dependency:tree result shows an error related to "i cannot obtain some jar", it may be due to private reporitory.
If you are working with private repository, make sure you configure access in $HOME/.m2/settings.xml
On another hand I see you are working with snapshots. If you are trying to bind projects you have in your local host machine, ensure you are executing mvn install (or better mvn source:jar install) sucessfully and your system's maven is pointing the same .m2 path that refers Eclipse maven plugin
It seems using the Spring framework Maven repository via HTTP instead of HTTPS causing this issue.
In your pom.xml file replace http://maven.springframework.org with https://maven.springframework.org.
Generally i follow below maven commands to build and run my project.
mvn clean
mvn clean verify
or
mvn clean install
mvn spring-boot:run
My doubt is in which maven life cycle, dependencies get downloaded from maven central repository to my local .m2 repository.
I went through below mentioned maven life cycle but no where i found that in this steps dependency gets downloaded.
validate
compile
test
package
verify
install
deploy
Please explain it would be really helpful.
When you create a maven project, before validate there is step 'prepare-resources' which copies resources. Also when you do maven clean it will download dependencies. Read this link for more details
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/maven/maven_build_life_cycle.htm
The other answer here of prepare-resources is incorrect. That may be confusing the downloading of Maven plugins and their dependencies, but not the project's dependencies.
They actually are downloaded during the compile lifecycle.
Here is an example of a project where the only dependency is GSON, and I just finished running the process-resources lifecycle, the one that immediately precedes compile lifecycle. The only things present in my .m2/repository directory are things required by the default Maven plugins. Note that there is no com folder, which is where GSON would have been downloaded to.
After running mvn compile, the next lifecycle, a lot more dependencies are downloaded, including GSON:
I have a maven project in Eclipse and I added some local jar files to the buildpath. If I do not add any dependency to the pom.xml file I am able to execute maven install. Then, if I add those dependencies to the pom the command maven install continues working as well. Now in this situation if I run maven clean then maven install fails. Why?
I also tried to run Maven -> Update Project but the result is the same. What is the problem?
If you are using non maven dependencies then it will fail to build eg from CLI and in your case in Elipse after cleaning the project as well. In order to make it work you have to installl tha JAR you are using as Maven artifact and the ninclude it in POM dependencies like every other library.
Here you have info on how to install 3rd party JARs to local repo
https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-local.html
I got the same problem and resolved by adding the 3rd party in the pom.xml manually
Is there a maven equivalent of Node.js npm i which fetchs all the dependencies under node_modules directory, or Ruby bundle install --path <directory-path>?
I'm looking for a way to manage the dependencies written in pom.xml on the project's own responsibility. Without anything, all the artifacts are downloaded into ~/.m2/repository which is shared by all existing maven projects.
The version of maven is 3.1.1. Is there any good idea?
If you really like to change the repository for every project you can use the following:
mvn -Dmaven.repo.local=/WhatEverDirYouLike clean install
but it contradicts to the idea of the local repository.
We are using Maven and m2e tools for our development and today we encountered a problem.
One of our projects is small library that is required for other projects, so we packaged it into jar file and put in our private Maven repository.
For now, all of the jars that we put in this repository didn't have any external dependencies, but this library I mentioned uses some external jars.
Now, when I add information about this jar to other poms, this jar is downloaded from our private repository but Maven doesn't download dependencies needed by this jar.
I am wondering if I need to use some special target/add something to my pom.xml file that will inform Maven to include information about dependencies needed by this artifact.
EDIT:
Here is the workflow I perform when I upload jar to our private repository:
1.I generate jar file from Eclipse using m2e
2.mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=<your_group_name> -DartifactId=<your_artifact_name> -Dversion=<snapshot> -Dfile=<path_to_your_jar_file> -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true -DcreateChecksum=true
3.I copy folder created in my local repository to remote repository
If your small library is a maven project as you state, there should be no reason to have eclipse build the jar and then use maven to install it and then manually copy to the remote repo. Instead you should use m2e to run the deploy goal:
mvn deploy
That will cause the jar to get built and then install it directly into your local maven repo then deploy it to the remote repo.
In eclipse this can be accomplished by right clicking your project, choosing Run As -> Maven Build... then in the run configuration window for Goals input type deploy then click Run. After this has been done once, you can just use Run As -> Maven Build to run the same config again.
I see you use -DgeneratePom=true during the installation of the jar file. What you need to do is create a pom.xml for your artifact. In the pom.xml, you can specify the dependencies that your jar file requires. When executing the install:install plugin goal, you use -DpomFile=pom.xml instead.
The best way to do this is to run mvn deploy
You have to setup the distribution repository to your private artifact manager (nexus or artifactory) in your settings.xml
