My requirement is, like, I have to download rabitmq-server for linux environment.
But, it will be downloaded, by my maven project, using maven-dependency-plugin.
So, I have to add the rabbitmq-server artifact details as a dependency, in my project POM.
Therefore, my question is, Is it possible?
If yes, then what is the POM dependency config for that?
The maven artefact you'd need would be:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.rabbitmq</groupId>
<artifactId>amqp-client</artifactId>
<version>3.5.6</version>
</dependency>
You can find many Maven dependencies on MvnRepository.
In order to use RabbitMq, you will have to download the server itself from the RabbitMq website and run the server, as described in their documentation.

I couldn't find the spring-ldap jar in central maven starting from version 1.3.2.
We use maven to manage dependency and we pull the spring jars from central maven (in turn using an internal repository)because this jar is not available in central maven we are not able to pull it. Please advice why this jar is missing in Maven central and what alternate options are available?
Even in spring repo(https://repo.spring.io/release) the artifact are provided as a zip file and the jar isn't provided directly.
Looking for the below artifact
Group ID: org.springframework.ldap
Artifact ID: spring-ldap
version: 2.0.2
The best option, as for me, is to use needed submodules of spring-ldap, for instance spring-ldap-core:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.ldap</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-ldap-core</artifactId>
<version>2.0.4.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
I'm trying to convert a "classic" JAVA EE project, using IBM websphere 8.0.0.5, into a maven multi module project and facing issues with the IBM dependecies.
We use IBM classes from the following packages:
com.ibm.websphere.asynchbeans
com.ibm.websphere.scheduler
com.ibm.websphere.ce.cm
com.ibm.ws.asynchbeans
com.ibm.ws.util.ThreadPool
To get my local project to be compiled I downloaded the was.installer-8.0.0.pm from IBM and installed it to my maven using
mvn install -f "was.installer-8.0.0.pom" -D serverInstallationFolder="C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer"
This step was successfull according to command line output.
I then added the following dependencies to my project as described from IBM:
In parent:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ibm.tools.target</groupId>
<artifactId>was</artifactId>
<version>8.0.0</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
In module:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ibm.tools.target</groupId>
<artifactId>was</artifactId>
</dependency>
But I still can't compile my project as the IBM packages are not found.
Can anyone help me to find and correct a mistake I made?
Edit
After following BevynQ tip from the comments I copied the "was_public.jar" to "was_public-8.0.0.jar" (described at IBM here) and added it to my repository:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile="C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\dev\was_public-8.0.0.jar" -DpomFile="C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\dev\was_public-8.0.0.pom"
I then changed the dependencies to:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ibm.websphere.appserver</groupId>
<artifactId>was_public</artifactId>
<version>8.0.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ibm.websphere.appserver</groupId>
<artifactId>was</artifactId>
</dependency>
This helped to get the compiling errors for the imports to com.ibm.websphere done.
What I now have still open is the packages com.ibm.ws.* package. Anyone have an idea?
Edit 2
I added the following dependency and then I was rid of the com.ibm.ws.* import errors.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ibm.websphere.ws</groupId>
<artifactId>com.ibm.ws.runtime</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>
But it still does not compile as now indirectly references can not be found (in my case commonj.work.WorkManager). It seems I need to add further .jars for every single thing. Isn't there an easier way to provide all websphere jars at once as descirbe in the above linked tutorial with the com.ibm.toolsdependency (which do not work)?
In general, com.ibm.websphere are public API for use by applications (this is true of the packages you listed above) which is consistent with these being in was_public.jar
However, com.ibm.ws package is generally product internals. May I ask what interface methods you are using from the com.ibm.ws.asynchbeans package? Maybe there is a public API alternative.
Regarding commonj.work, the only place I can find this in the WebSphere Application Server product image is WAS/plugins/com.ibm.ws.prereq.commonj-twm.jar so it looks like you will need to use that to compile against.
Here's the solution so I solved my dependency problems:
I configured the company repository manager (nexus) as a mirror. In this nexus all ibm packages are present. As you can think that solved the main problem.
I then added the following dependencies according to common maven style:
Dependencies in pom.xml (version numbers extracted to properties):
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ibm.websphere.ws</groupId>
<artifactId>com.ibm.ws.runtime</artifactId>
<version>${ibm.ws.runtime.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ibm.ws.prereq</groupId>
<artifactId>commonj-twm</artifactId>
<version>${ibm.ws.prereq.commonj-twm.version}</version>
</dependency>
Sorry I can't provide a "nice" solution that's useable by all people but the answer from njr and the comment from BevynQ helped at lot to get clearer with the problem and helped to solve the problem in a "more manual" way by copying the needed jars by hand.
I was facing this issue as I tried to build a project using Maven version 3.3.9, running on Java version 1.8.0_101, as depicted in the screenshot:
This is how I resolved it: Step 1. Download the commonj.jar from here.
Step 2. Determine which JDK your Maven is using by typing mvn -version in the command prompt.
Step 3. Go to that directory and place the commonj.jar file there in the jre/lib/ext directory, as shown below. Now your project should build in maven without any issues.
When I run
mvn compile
I get package com.ibm.icu.util does not exist. So I downloaded the ICU4J jar and installed it into the local repository. I confirmed it's in .m2/repository/com/ibm/icu/icu4j/3.4.4/icu4j-3.4.4.jar. Inside that jar file is the missing class file com/ibm/icu/util/Calendar.class. Then I added the following into the dependencies section of pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ibm.icu</groupId>
<artifactId>icu4j</artifactId>
<version>3.4.4</version>
</dependency>
But when I run mvn compile again, I get the same error. What am I doing wrong?
You should avoid adding dependencies manually.
If you don't know a groupId and artifactId of the dependency you need, search for it at http://mvnrepository.com/. Usually, groupId matches the package names in the jar file.
For your case, the dependency is already there: http://mvnrepository.com/search?q=com.ibm.icu
So, go to http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.ibm.icu/icu4j and get the version of the dependency you need, e.g. 55.1: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.ibm.icu/icu4j/55.1
Grab maven dependency xml and put it to your pom.xml file:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ibm.icu</groupId>
<artifactId>icu4j</artifactId>
<version>55.1</version>
</dependency>
If you didn't find your dependency try to find it in google. Sometimes the dependency may be found in some corporate public repositories, not in a central. In this case you need to add the third-party repository to repositories section of your pom.xml.
If you're unable to find your dependency in the public repository then you have three options:
A. Install jar to internal repository server (e.g. nexus)
B. Put the JAR file in your project sources and declare project maven repository :
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>my-local-repo</id>
<url>file://${basedir}/my-repo</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
Important: You should keep the maven repository layout in your local repository.
C. [Bad Practice] Use maven install plugin to install your custom jar to local repository on your machine. But it's a badIt's not recommended.
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:2.5.2:install-file -Dfile=path-to-your-artifact-jar -DpomFile=path-to-pom
D. [Bad Practice] Use system dependency with absolute path to the JAR file, although it's a bad practice and should be avoided.
<dependency>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>test</artifactId>
<version>X.Y.Z</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${user.home}/jars/my.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
You should not be manually installing things into the maven repository directory. That directory is maintained by maven itself.
The way dependencies work is that when you run mvn compile or some other goal, it will connect to the maven central repository and download the needed dependencies and their dependencies.
If you manually install a jar file, it may not have it's dependencies. That icu artifact will likely have other things it depends on. Maven will automatically resolve these dependencies.
I would recommend using mvn clean install this will clean the target directory and rebuild everything.
If it fails to download, then you likely need to change the maven configuration. For example, if you are behind a proxy server you need to configure maven with the proxy credentials.
Also, if you manually copied anything into the .m2/repository/ directory you should delete it and let maven put it in there correctly instead.
The beauty of maven is that you don't need to worry about things like downloading jars. It just handles that for you. Let it do it's job.
If you have an internal artifactory like JFrog maybe you should check that the jar is there. Do not download manually to .m2 because it's at least strange. At most you can upload the jar in that artifactory manually.
I want to create bean which will integrate with WOLA (integration with COBOL).
In order to do so I need annotate bean by #RemoteHome(com.ibm.websphere.ola.ExecuteHome.class). However this is IBM artifact which should reside in ola_apis.jar.
Do you know how can I resolve this dependency? How to add it to pom? I'm searching for some IBM repository but cannot find any.
My understanding is that for creating EAR for Websphere I should be able to create simple maven project in Netbeans.
IBM provides the APIs required for the Liberty profile in an IBM hosted maven repository. The maven repository is here. Once your maven can find this repository for the WOLA API you would want to use the following in your pom:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.ibm.websphere.appserver.api</groupId>
<artifactId>com.ibm.websphere.appserver.api.zosLocalAdapters</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<type>jar</type>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Technically these are the Liberty profile APIs, but in this case they APIs are common between liberty profile and full profile so there shouldn't be a problem using it.
You can either include the dependency as system scope in your POM (however, this is not recommended), or you take the JAR file and upload it in a custom Maven repository within your company (or at least install it in your local repository). You can choose the group and artifact id as you want, when you do that.
Since those JARs are part of WebSphere, which has a proprietary license, there is no public Maven repository, where you could download it.
I'm currently learning java and want to create a project, using maven, hibernate and MySQL. I know that in order to use any of the artifacts with maven, I should find it on mvnrepository and add it to pom.xml. The question is where can I get the list of mandatory dependencies for each artifact I use, f.ex if I need hibernate, I found hibernate-core 4.3.8.Final, proceed to this link and can see it's dependencies in section "depends on". Should I add all of them into pom.xml also?
Well, I think you know about maven.
And yes, You should include all the dependencies with version on your pom.xml files (Which is the main file for all your dependencies ).
First, you need to identify all required dependencies and add on pom file.
While executing code, It primarily tries to get that dependency from local repository (.m2) And if it doesn't exists then it downloads from it's web repository.

How it works??
Suppose, You are using log4j for loggin.
You need to know the log4j Maven coordinates,
for example
<groupId>log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
<version>1.2.14</version>
It will download the log4j version 1.2.14 library automatically. If the “version” tag is ignored, it will upgrade the library automatically when there is a newer version.
Declares Maven coordinates into pom.xml file.
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
<version>1.2.14</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
When Maven is compiling or building, the log4j jar will be downloaded automatically and put it into your Maven local repository.
All manages by Maven.
How to find the Maven coordinates?
Visit this Maven center repository, search the jar you want to download.
Hope, It will help.
Thanks.
