Intellij extract maven dependency to artifact

I am currently having an issue with IntelliJ.
I have several dependencies in my pom. However, when I generate an artifact, I can add the maven libraries but instead of maven extracting the jar contents, Maven instead pops the entire jar into the artifact jar. This results in my program failing to load. How can I get IntelliJ to not do this and instead extract the jar contents into the build?
I configured the artifact manually through intelliJ
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-io</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
Thank you.

How to resolve Microsoft Azure dependencies on Eclipse

I'm trying to follow "How to run a compute-intensive task in Java" tutorial.
However, I'm stuck on the following step:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-windows-classic-java-run-compute-intensive-task/#how-to-create-a-java-application-that-performs-a-compute-intensive-task
Eclipse shows an error saying that these dependencies can't be resolved:
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.services.core.Configuration;
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.services.core.ServiceException;
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.services.serviceBus.*;
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.services.serviceBus.models.*;`
I'm using Eclipse and I've downloaded the Azure toolkit for Eclipse.
Here's how my Eclipse project looks like:
The code is simply a copy-paste of TSPSolver.java.

Per my experience, the issue was caused by missing some dependent libraries that you can try to add them via configure the Java Build Path or configure the pom.xml file in the Maven project to resolve it.
For the first way, adding the dependent libraries via configure the Build Path. You can download these libraries and their dependencies from the link.
Right click on the project name, then select Build Path and click Configure Build Path.
Add these jar files via click Add External Class Folder
For the second way, adding the maven dependencies in the pom.xml file.
Convert the current normal Eclipse Project into a Maven project.
Open the pom.xml file in the project and add the below content from link1 & link2.
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-core</artifactId>
<version>0.9.7</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-servicebus</artifactId>
<version>0.9.7</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

For those looking now, latest version are as follows:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-storage</artifactId>
<version>8.0.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-servicebus</artifactId>
<version>3.6.7</version>
</dependency>

Maven not building sqljdbc intelliJ

I am trying to build my maven project in IntelliJ.
I added the dependency in the pom file as shown.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.sqlserver</groupId>
<artifactId>sqljdbc4</artifactId>
<version>4.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${basedir}/lib/sqljdbc4-2.0.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
I also have the sqljdbc4-2.0.jar in the /lib folder.
I am able to successfully clean the project and package it. However, when i run the jar on my linux machine it gives me following exception:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
Please help. Struggling with this for quite some time. Thanks.

No files were downloaded for org.springframework:org.springframework.core:3.2.2.RELEASE

I created a small java application using intellij, later I updated that project as Maven project using "Add framework support" option. When I tired to add spring jar file on project I got following error saying,"No files were downloaded for org.springframework:org.springframework.core:3.2.2.RELEASE".
Following are the steps I did to add spring jar files
1)Clicked on File -> Project Structure -> Modules -> Clicked on "+" Sign -> Library -> From Maven
2)Searched for org.springframework.core and selected 3.2.2 Release
3)Downloaded to lib folder under my project.
4)Got Error.
I don't know where it went wrong. I am new to java and spring application.

As already mentioned, Maven downloads dependencies itself (a reason why it's a build automation tool).
To add Spring as a dependency, add this code to Maven's pom.xml (the file is in your module's root directory):
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
<version>3.2.2.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Also, delete the lib directory from your project root - Maven doesn't put jars there.

Maven downloads the dependencies automatically, can you try adding this to the pom.xml file. Maven should automatically download the dependencies..
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring-core -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
<version>3.2.2.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Why the Groovy jar be referenced in Eclipse?

My project doesn't reference the groovy-all-1.8.3.jar, and the jar is not in the maven dependency tree and .classpath file.
When the project is imported to Eclipse, it notices that the groovy-all-1.8.3.jar is referenced.
How can the jar be referenced?

In the Maven Project put the following dependency in pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
<artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId>
<version>1.8.3</version>
</dependency>
And run mvn clean install , It solves your problem.
