Dependency issues in deploying war using openshift

I'm facing problems when I'm trying to deploy my war file to the openshift repository.
The error is:
Could not resolve dependencies for project ... the following artifacts could not be found:
All these external jar's are included in the WEB-INF folder of my project and I've also tried to add a local repository but still no luck.
Can anyone help me with this please?

here is my pom.xml

I have checked your pom and found some dependencies with scope system, which means your JDK or container provides those jar's at a location you provide in the pom.
From the documentation:
system
This scope is similar to provided except that you have to
provide the JAR which contains it explicitly. The artifact is always
available and is not looked up in a repository.
provided
This is much like compile, but indicates you expect the JDK
or a container to provide the dependency at runtime. For example, when
building a web application for the Java Enterprise Edition, you would
set the dependency on the Servlet API and related Java EE APIs to
scope provided because the web container provides those classes. This
scope is only available on the compilation and test classpath, and is
not transitive.
More information here:
https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html#Dependency_Scope
It is very likely openshift has no files like those provided as systempath's in your POM.
You can do one of the following:
Remove scope & system path from you depedencies, this way the
default (Compile) scope will be used and those jar's will be
included in your project.
Store the jar files you need in a folder on your openshift server (app-root/data, for example) and refer to that folder in your pom.
If you are using Tomcat, and all your applications running on this Tomcat are using the libraries you want to share, you can always store your shared libs in: tomcat-dir/common/lib (don't forget to change your scope to "provided" in this case).

Intellij somehow thinks a maven project is intending to use java 1.4

As shown in following screenshot - the project SDK and language level are 1.8:
And I went through all of the project modules: they are all likewise defined as 1.8. One of them is shown below:
Yet somehow IJ attached a language level of 1.4 to one of the modules
But actually .. it is not even that straightforward. E.g. the intellisense thinks 1.4:
But when I click on the java.lang.String underlined in red, it DOES go to 1.8:
The pom.xml for the culprit module 'icloud' makes no mention of any java level - so it is not to blame:

I have done Build|Rebuild twice. Also have done
mvn clean package
from command line twice. This is just a big time sink (/waste). So then: why is IJ sabotaging this module - and is there a workaround?

Add a the compiler plugin to pom.xml and reimport the pom will solve this issue
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.8</source>
<target>1.8</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

The problem was that intellij could not handle the examples subproject being
underneath a parent directory containing the main parent project
but the directory is its own self contained project with no relation to the parent
The workaround is to create an entirely independent project for the examples module.
The other suggested answer - about adding the compiler plugin - made no difference.

Missing libraries in side jars

I have 2 maven projects: 1 a jar with different dependencies and a war that include all that jar.
When I look inside the created Jar I dont see any library folder. And when I look in to the War I only see the libs that the war is using and not the libraries that the jar is using.
So where those libs come from during execution? Am I missing something about the execution phase?
This is my Jar pom:

Libs that are being used in the jar are managed by the parent container and should not be part of the Jar it self. This insures that Jars staying small and we can link to the same library if we used it in 2 different jars.
When installing the Jar to your local repository 2 files are being created - The Jar it self and a pom file which describes the Jar dependencies. That file was empty due to a bad maven execution.
The best way to install a jar is using:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file> -DpomFile=<path-to-pomfile>
This command. - Check how different the POM is. More info can be found here

MVC webapp Project not deploying to tomcat webapps directory may be a pom.xml issue using eclipse run on server

I am trying to test my java MVC application and using eclipse tomcat server integration, but having problems with the deployment. When I use the convenient run on server option in eclipse, It opens a webpage browser in eclipse and is showing a 404 page. I dont know much about the pom file, it might be the issue. I dont see the war file deployed to the webapps folder in tomcat either. Firstly, where in eclipse can I see the warfile, secondly, why is it not being copied to the tomcat webapps folder. Below is my pom file:

m2eclipse Missing Artifact

I am trying to get started with Maven and m2eclipse but I keep getting missing artifact errors:
log4j is in my local repository. I have m2eclipse set up to use an external installation of Maven although I realize that for dependency resolution it uses the embedded maven. I don't have any custom settings for maven set up, this is a plain install of m2eclipse and maven. I am able to add the dependencies I want through m2eclipse (such as log4j) and it adds them to my pom file. I am at home and not behind a corporate or particularly restrictive firewall.
Can anybody help me figure out what is going on?
