What is the difference between `dependencyManagement` and `dependencies`?
I have seen the docs at Apache Maven web site.
It seems that a dependency defined under the `dependencyManagement` can be used in its child modules without specifying the version. 

For example:

A parent project (Pro-par) defines a dependency under the `dependencyManagement`:

    &lt;dependencyManagement&gt;
      &lt;dependencies&gt;
        &lt;dependency&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;junit&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;junit&lt;/artifactId&gt;
          &lt;version&gt;3.8&lt;/version&gt;
        &lt;/dependency&gt;
     &lt;/dependencies&gt;
    &lt;/dependencyManagement&gt;

Then in the child of Pro-par, I can use the junit:

      &lt;dependencies&gt;
        &lt;dependency&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;junit&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;junit&lt;/artifactId&gt;
        &lt;/dependency&gt;
     &lt;/dependencies&gt;

However, I wonder if it is necessary to define junit in the parent pom? Why not define it directly in the needed module?

Differences between dependencyManagement and dependencies in Maven

I have a project on Bitbucket. Only the sources are committed. To retrieve the project onto a new machine, I used Version Control &gt; Checkout from Version Control from within IntelliJ.

It then asks whether I would like to create a new project from this source, to which I reply Yes. So far, so good. It creates a nice little Java project for me, consisting of a single module.

However, my goal in pulling this project into IntelliJ was to turn it into a Maven project. I cannot find any option anywhere that will let me do this!

Is there a way to have IntelliJ just generate a basic empty pom.xml for me, with a name and an artifactId and a repository? Or, is there a way to import the project as a Maven project in the first place? (Whenever I try to create a project from existing source, it only gives me the option of a Java project.)

This is a snippet of my pom file.

&lt;!-- language: lang-xml --&gt;

    ....
    		&lt;plugins&gt;
    			&lt;plugin&gt;
    				&lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.maven.plugins&lt;/groupId&gt;
    				&lt;artifactId&gt;maven-dependency-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
    				&lt;version&gt;2.4&lt;/version&gt;                        
    				&lt;executions&gt;
    					&lt;execution&gt;
    						&lt;phase&gt;install&lt;/phase&gt;
    						&lt;goals&gt;
    							&lt;goal&gt;copy-dependencies&lt;/goal&gt;
    						&lt;/goals&gt;
    						&lt;configuration&gt;
    							......
    						&lt;/configuration&gt;
    					&lt;/execution&gt;
    				&lt;/executions&gt;
    			&lt;/plugin&gt;
    		&lt;/plugins&gt;
    ...

I use it successfully with the command 

    mvn install

But, when I try to enclose it into the &quot;pluginManagement&quot; tag, the `maven-dependency-plugin` stops working when I launch the `install` goal.
Why does the &quot;pluginManagement&quot; tag change the build behavior? Or should I use another goal or option?

I wrote some Maven code in Netbeans that has approximately more than 2000 lines. When I compile it on Netbeans, everything is fine, but if I want to run it on command line, I will get these errors:

    (use -source 5 or higher to enable generics)

I tried to use https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3365473/java-1-3-1-compiler-errors, but I got more errors. I found from other posts that I should modify `pom.xml`, but I do not know how. Here is my `pom.xml`

How do you specify the Java compiler version in a pom.xml file?

Looking at documentation http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/testng.html, we can see `&lt;scope&gt;` tag under `&lt;dependency&gt;` 

What is that and how can we use it for running test?

I just started using Maven and I was told to do `mvn install` in a specific directory.  

What does `mvn install` do, exactly?

I think it looks for `pom.xml` in the current folder and starts following the instructions specified in that file. Is that correct?

Using IntelliJ 12, I have a java project and I use maven with a pom.xml.
My project is using java8, but it seems the default project language level has been set to 6 while importing the project.

I can change the language level to 8.0 (F4 -&gt; Modules -&gt; Language level) however every time I edit my pom.xml the project level is switched back to &quot;use project language level&quot;, and I have to edit this settings again and again.

Is there something I need to add to the pom.xml to set the default language level to 8.0?

stop IntelliJ IDEA to switch java language level every time the pom is reloaded (or change the default project language level)

I am trying to build a Hudson plugin I&#39;ve modified and it requires jdk1.6. This is fine, but I don&#39;t see how I can tell maven where the different jdk is. I&#39;ve found few mentions on the internet but they don&#39;t seem to apply to me. Some suggest adding some config to `.m2/settings.xml` but I don&#39;t have a `settings.xml`. Plus, I don&#39;t want to use 1.6 for all maven builds. 

One kink is I am using `mvn` in cygwin, if that matters at all. It appears I should be able to make the specification in the project pom file, but the existing pom is pretty bare. 

So bottom line is, is there a way to specify a jdk for a single invocation of maven?

I&#39;m new to the maven tool, I have made a project with Spring and Hibernate and they are   configured in pom.xml as plugins, but JUnit is tagged under dependency. My question is what is the logic behind one as a plugin and one as dependency ? 

What is the difference in maven between dependency and plugin tags in pom xml?

Artifacts from dependencies can be excluded by declaring an `&lt;exclusions&gt;` element inside a `&lt;dependency&gt;` But in this case it&#39;s needed to exclude an artifact inherited from a parent project. An excerpt of the POM under discussion follows:

&lt;!-- language: xml --&gt;

    &lt;project&gt;
      &lt;modelVersion&gt;4.0.0&lt;/modelVersion&gt;
      &lt;groupId&gt;test&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;jruby&lt;/artifactId&gt;
        &lt;version&gt;0.0.1-SNAPSHOT&lt;/version&gt;
        &lt;parent&gt;
            &lt;artifactId&gt;base&lt;/artifactId&gt;
            &lt;groupId&gt;es.uniovi.innova&lt;/groupId&gt;
            &lt;version&gt;1.0.0&lt;/version&gt;
        &lt;/parent&gt;
    
        &lt;dependencies&gt;      
            &lt;dependency&gt;
                &lt;groupId&gt;com.liferay.portal&lt;/groupId&gt;
                &lt;artifactId&gt;ALL-DEPS&lt;/artifactId&gt;
                &lt;version&gt;1.0&lt;/version&gt;
                &lt;scope&gt;provided&lt;/scope&gt;
                &lt;type&gt;pom&lt;/type&gt;
            &lt;/dependency&gt;
        &lt;/dependencies&gt;
    &lt;/project&gt;

`base` artifact, depends on  `javax.mail:mail-1.4.jar`, and `ALL-DEPS` depends on another version of the same library. Due to the fact that `mail.jar` from `ALL-DEPS` exist on the execution environment, although not exported, collides with the `mail.jar` that exists on the parent, which is scoped as `compile`.

A solution could be to rid off mail.jar from the parent POM, but most of the projects that inherit base, need it (as is a transtive dependency for log4j). So What I would like to do is to simply **exclude parent&#39;s library from the child project**, as it could be done if `base` was a dependency and not the parent pom:

&lt;!-- language: xml --&gt;

    ...
        &lt;dependency&gt;
            &lt;artifactId&gt;base&lt;/artifactId&gt;
            &lt;groupId&gt;es.uniovi.innova&lt;/groupId&gt;
            &lt;version&gt;1.0.0&lt;/version&gt;
            &lt;type&gt;pom&lt;type&gt;
            &lt;exclusions&gt;
              &lt;exclusion&gt;
                 &lt;groupId&gt;javax.mail&lt;/groupId&gt;
                 &lt;artifactId&gt;mail&lt;/artifactId&gt;
              &lt;/exclusion&gt;
            &lt;/exclusions&gt;
        &lt;/dependency&gt;
    ...


Is there anyway to exclude artifacts inherited from a parent POM?

I&#39;m using Maven 3.0.3 on Mac 10.6.6.  I have a JAR project and when I run the command &quot;mvn clean install:install&quot;, I&#39;m getting the error,

What does this mean and how can I fix it?  Below is my pom.xml.  Let me know what other info would be helpful and I&#39;ll edit this post.  Thanks, - Dave

Maven: The packaging for this project did not assign a file to the build artifact

Starting from Maven 2.0.9 there is possibility to include 

    &lt;type&gt;pom&lt;/type&gt;
    &lt;scope&gt;import&lt;/scope&gt;

in the `&lt;dependencyManagement&gt;` section.

 As I understand it, it will be &quot;replaced&quot; with dependencies included in this pom as if they were originally defined here.

What is the difference between solution above and simple dependency to this pom without `import` scope (I saw the latter being called &quot;dependencies grouping&quot;)? Is the only difference that such &quot;grouped&quot; dependencies have lower priority while resolving dependencies precedence?

What is the difference between &quot;pom&quot; type dependency with scope &quot;import&quot; and without &quot;import&quot;?

Getting unknown error at Line 1 in `pom.xml` in Eclipse IDE.
It was working fine till yesterday, but all of a sudden after updating my project from master and after fixing merge conflicts getting &quot;Unknown error&quot; in pom.xml.
Except me, none of my teammates are facing this issue. I also changed the workspace, deleted cache but still no luck. 

I am using the h2 database for this project, in spite of inserting values in data.sql, it is not picking up any values and inserting into h2 DB tables. Before this issue, it was working fine. I feel its due to the issue in pom.xml, I am not sure though. Please help

I deleted the existing project and took the latest code from master. After that deleted .m2 folder under users including the repository folder.  I did update project and enabled Forced update of snapshots/releases, maven clean and maven build. But nothing helps.

Why am I getting Unknown error in line 1 of pom.xml?

I have a parent POM in a Maven project, with this structure:

                 parent
                   |
            ---------------
            |             |
          child1       child2


I want to install the POM of the *&quot;parent&quot;* in the local REPO to allow *child1* take some changes that I did in the dependencyManagement, but **I cannot do a regular &quot;clean install&quot;** because *&quot;child2&quot;* is broken and will not build.

Which is the proper way to do this with maven (other than going to the parent pom and commenting the *&quot;child2&quot;* module).

and then I execute

    mvn deploy

and get the error. Any idea?

Error when deploying an artifact in Nexus

Relatively new developer here, even though I&#39;ve been using it for a little while, I&#39;m hoping to solidify my Maven fundamentals. Part of my problem is that I have **no** experience with Ant, which seems to be from where many explanations stem. I&#39;ve been reading and watching tutorials, and I keep hearing the same terms:

 - Lifecycle
 - Phase
 - Plugin
 - Goal

From what I&#39;ve learned, it seems that lifecycle is the broadest of the bunch, and is composed of (or completed by) phases, plugins, and/or goals.

**Question**: Could you provide any info on how these terms are related and the most common examples?

The more explicit and basic, the better!

Maven: Lifecycle vs. Phase vs. Plugin vs. Goal

I’m trying to find a “generic” way of excluding a transitive dependency from being included without having to exclude it from all the dependencies that depend on it.  For example, if I want to exclude slf4j, I do the following:


      &lt;dependency&gt;
        &lt;groupId&gt;org.hibernate&lt;/groupId&gt;
        &lt;artifactId&gt;hibernate-jmx&lt;/artifactId&gt;
        &lt;version&gt;3.3.2.GA&lt;/version&gt;
        &lt;exclusions&gt;
          &lt;exclusion&gt;
            &lt;groupId&gt;org.slf4j&lt;/groupId&gt;
            &lt;artifactId&gt;slf4j-api&lt;/artifactId&gt;
          &lt;/exclusion&gt;
        &lt;/exclusions&gt;
      &lt;/dependency&gt;
      &lt;dependency&gt;
        &lt;groupId&gt;org.hibernate&lt;/groupId&gt;
        &lt;artifactId&gt;hibernate-entitymanager&lt;/artifactId&gt;
        &lt;version&gt;3.4.0.GA&lt;/version&gt;
        &lt;type&gt;jar&lt;/type&gt;
        &lt;exclusions&gt;
          &lt;exclusion&gt;
            &lt;groupId&gt;org.slf4j&lt;/groupId&gt;
            &lt;artifactId&gt;slf4j-api&lt;/artifactId&gt;
          &lt;/exclusion&gt;
        &lt;/exclusions&gt;
      &lt;/dependency&gt;

This is partly to clean up the pom file, partly to avoid issues in the future with people adding dependencies that depend on that excluded dependency — and forgetting to exclude it.

Is there a way?


Is there a way to exclude a Maven dependency globally?

I am trying to add MS SQL driver dependency in my POM.xml file and the following is the dependency.

This is a snippet from my pom.xml.
I tried the following, but the profile was not activated.

    mvn clean install -Pdev1
    mvn clean install -P dev1

When I tried `mvn help:active-profiles` no profiles were listed as active.
If I set `&lt;activeByDefault&gt;` for `dev1` to `true`, and run  `mvn help:active-profiles`, it shows me the profile is activated.

    &lt;profile&gt;
            &lt;id&gt;dev1&lt;/id&gt;

                &lt;/plugins&gt;
            &lt;/build&gt;
        &lt;/profile&gt;

I am wondering why my profile is not getting activated. Has anyone encountered similar issue?

Maven: How do I activate a profile from command line?

E.g.:

    &lt;parent&gt;
		&lt;groupId&gt;mycompany.trade.com&lt;/groupId&gt;
		&lt;artifactId&gt;mycompany.trade.&lt;/artifactId&gt;
		&lt;version&gt;1.1.1.0-SNAPSHOT&lt;/version&gt;
	&lt;/parent&gt;

Does it mean that Maven will search for parent pom?
If yes, where, in which order? May be in folder up 1 level? Or in local repository or in repo?

What does the parent tag in Maven pom represent?

Maven Out of Memory Build Failure

I&#39;m working on a Java project in Eclipse, which is built using Maven. I&#39;m using some recycled code from an older project, and one of these classes looks for a file in the `META-INF/services` folder of the JAR with a particular name, then parses the text of this file. In this particular example, it looks for a file with the name of a Java interface, then grabs the class name of the implementation from inside the file.

So basically what I&#39;m trying to do is **include a file in the &quot;META-INF/services&quot; folder of the JAR with a file name (X), and one line of text (Y)**. I&#39;m guessing this should be done using Maven, maybe by specifying an attribute in the POM file, but my research hasn&#39;t turned up anything. I know you&#39;re not supposed to hard-code or manually type out any META files, so I&#39;m not sure what to do here.

I checked some resources on the internet and none of them worked for my case. I think it&#39;s related to my `pom.xml`, so here are its related parts:

What do you think the problem might be? Thanks in advance.

repository element was not specified in the POM inside distributionManagement element or in -DaltDep loymentRepository=id::layout::url parameter

While configuring my `pom.xml`, I had to configure a plugin. What I found out is that the `&lt;plugin&gt;` tag may be inserted inside either `&lt;plugins&gt;` or `&lt;pluginManagement&gt;` elements. I am confused!

What is the difference between `&lt;plugins&gt;` and `&lt;pluginManagement&gt;`?

I&#39;m installing a package that has Maven dependency and get a DependencyResolutionException when I try to clean it. 
After cloning it, I navigate to the directory and run the following to install it with no error:

```
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=./lib/massbank.jar -DgroupId=massbank  -DartifactId=massbank -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=./lib/metfusion.jar -DgroupId=de.ipbhalle.msbi  -DartifactId=metfusion -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar
```

Then:

```
mvn clean package 
```

with the following console output:

I can post the output of the debug logging switch if necessary, but it&#39;s quite long. I can also post the pom.xml, however it refers to the repositories as required from what I can tell.

I&#39;ve searched for similar posts, but none seem to contain the same series of errors or similar. Can someone help me decipher these errors?

Thanks!

Maven Build Failure -- DependencyResolutionException

I have a Gradle project and I need all its dependencies to be transferred and used with another Maven project. In other words how can I generate (or can I generate) the pom.xml from the build.gradle?

Gradle build.gradle to Maven pom.xml

As the title mentioned I have the following problem: I use `Eclipse` with `Maven Nature` and when I update my Maven Project, I get this error:

&gt;An internal error occurred during: &quot;Updating Maven Project&quot;.  
    Unsupported IClasspathEntry kind=4

The solution that always comes back is the following:

 - rightclick project, remove maven nature
 - `mvn eclipse:clean` (with project open in eclipse/STS)
 - (sometimes they suggest to do `mvn eclipse:eclipse` next)
 - rightclick project and reenable maven nature

Now I exhaustively tried all combinations several times. But I always keep getting the above error. The error starting occurring when I had to `mvn eclipse:eclipse` the project. Before it was always running fine using only **m2eclipse** features and setting everything in eclipse.

An internal error occurred during: &quot;Updating Maven Project&quot;. Unsupported IClasspathEntry kind=4

Is there a CLI tool I can use to quickly view the transitive dependencies of a Maven pom.xml file?

How can I view transitive dependencies of a Maven pom.xml file?

If I was to use a 3rd party library that was not in the maven public repository, what is the best way to include it as dependency for my project so that when someone else checks out my code it will still be able to build?

i.e.

My Application &quot;A&quot; depends on jar &quot;B&quot; which does not exist in the public repository.  I, however, wish to add &quot;B&quot; as a dependency to &quot;A&quot; such that when a person on the other side of the world could check out the code and still be able to build &quot;A&quot;

Maven: Including jar not found in public repository

I want to get a working jar file with my maven project.

The build part is:

    &lt;build&gt;
		&lt;plugins&gt;
			&lt;plugin&gt;
                &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.maven.plugins&lt;/groupId&gt;

                    &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.maven.plugins&lt;/groupId&gt;

                    &lt;version&gt;3.0&lt;/version&gt;
					&lt;configuration&gt;
						&lt;source&gt;1.7&lt;/source&gt;
						&lt;target&gt;1.7&lt;/target&gt;
						&lt;archive&gt;
                            &lt;manifest&gt;
                                &lt;addDefaultImplementationEntries&gt;true&lt;/addDefaultImplementationEntries&gt;
                                &lt;addDefaultSpecificationEntries&gt;true&lt;/addDefaultSpecificationEntries&gt;
                                &lt;addClasspath&gt;true&lt;/addClasspath&gt;
                                &lt;mainClass&gt;org.jis.Main&lt;/mainClass&gt;                                
                            &lt;/manifest&gt;
                        &lt;/archive&gt;
					&lt;/configuration&gt;
				&lt;/plugin&gt;
			&lt;/plugins&gt;
		&lt;/pluginManagement&gt;
	&lt;/build&gt;


So my problem right now is that I don&#39;T know how to implement the mainclass properly into my pom.xml and later into my jar file.
The Folder Structure is: src/main/java/org/jis/Main.java
but if I add the following line

    &lt;mainClass&gt;src.main.java.org.jis.Main&lt;/mainClass&gt;

it doesn&#39;t work.

Thanks in advance

Maven adding mainClass in pom.xml with the right folder path

I just started using Maven and I read that plugins are additional components that can be used.   
A typical structure of `pom.xml` file is

&lt;!-- language: xml-lang --&gt;

    &lt;project&gt;
      &lt;groupId&gt;org.koshik.javabrains&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;JarName&lt;/artifactId&gt; (A fldernamed JarName was created) 
      &lt;version&gt;1.0-SNAPSHOT&lt;/version&gt;
      &lt;packaging&gt;jar&lt;/packaging&gt;
    
      &lt;name&gt;JarName&lt;/name&gt;
      &lt;url&gt;http://maven.apache.org&lt;/url&gt;
    
      &lt;properties&gt;
        &lt;project.build.sourceEncoding&gt;UTF-8&lt;/project.build.sourceEncoding&gt;
      &lt;/properties&gt;
    
      &lt;dependencies&gt;
        &lt;dependency&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;junit&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;junit&lt;/artifactId&gt;
          &lt;version&gt;3.8.1&lt;/version&gt;
          &lt;scope&gt;test&lt;/scope&gt;
        &lt;/dependency&gt;
      &lt;/dependencies&gt;
    &lt;/project&gt;

**Question**: Where should I insert a `plugin` tag? such as the following:

    &lt;plugin&gt;
      &lt;groupId&gt;org.jibx&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;jibx-maven-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;version&gt;1.2.4&lt;/version&gt;
      &lt;executions&gt;
        &lt;execution&gt;
          &lt;goals&gt;
            &lt;goal&gt;bind&lt;/goal&gt;
          &lt;/goals&gt;
        &lt;/execution&gt;
      &lt;/executions&gt;
    &lt;/plugin&gt;

Before the dependency or after the `dependency` tag? Does it matter?

Plugins in Maven and POM.xml

What is the correct way of specifying Java 11 as the version to be used in Spring (or Spring Boot) pom.xml file?

I.e., what value do I need to put in the `java.version` property of the pom?

For Java 8 we use `1.8`, just like [the documentation shows][1], for Java 9 it&#39;s `1.9`.

I&#39;m not sure if Java 11 would be `1.11` (although it seems unlikely), and I&#39;ve seen it specified as just `11` when using `maven-compiler-plugin`, however I&#39;m not using the compiler plugin.

e.g. 

    &lt;plugin&gt;
        &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.maven.plugins&lt;/groupId&gt;
        &lt;artifactId&gt;maven-compiler-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
        &lt;version&gt;3.8.0&lt;/version&gt;
        &lt;configuration&gt;
            &lt;release&gt;11&lt;/release&gt;
        &lt;/configuration&gt;
    &lt;/plugin&gt;


I&#39;ve searched around and couldn&#39;t find the answer, as pretty much any documentation I&#39;ve read as well as blog posts related to the Java version only show versions 8 or 9.

So what should I use? `1.11` or just `11`?

I tried both and my web server seems to start correctly and compile correctly (IntelliJ shows `Information:javac 11.0.2 was used to compile java sources`) however I&#39;m not entirely convinced that changing the `java.version` value is doing anything, because I can set it to e.g. `100` and everything works fine.

The only related questions I could find are: [Minimum Spring version compatible with Java 11][2], [Spring Boot fails due to a Hibernate error after migrating to JDK 11][3] and [Spring 4.3.x with OpenJDK 11][4], but they don&#39;t really shed any light.

How to specify Java version in Spring/Spring Boot pom.xml?

I&#39;m trying to compile my [`maven`][1] project using [`Java 10`][2] but I&#39;m having trouble. In my IDE (`IntelliJ IDEA`) everything compiles and runs just fine under `Java 10`. I installed the latest `maven` version `3.5.4` and pointed my `JAVA_HOME` to the `JDK 10`:

    $ mvn --version
    Apache Maven 3.5.4 (1edded0938998edf8bf061f1ceb3cfdeccf443fe; 2018-06-17T20:33:14+02:00)
    Maven home: C:\Maven\bin\..
    Java version: 10.0.2, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-10.0.2
    Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252
    OS name: &quot;windows 10&quot;, version: &quot;10.0&quot;, arch: &quot;amd64&quot;, family: &quot;windows&quot;

The `maven` command I use is:

    mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip

In my `pom.xml` I had the following for `Java 8` which worked fine:

    &lt;properties&gt;
    	&lt;project.build.sourceEncoding&gt;UTF-8&lt;/project.build.sourceEncoding&gt;
    	&lt;maven.compiler.source&gt;1.8&lt;/maven.compiler.source&gt;
    	&lt;maven.compiler.target&gt;1.8&lt;/maven.compiler.target&gt;
    	&lt;libraries.directory&gt;libraries&lt;/libraries.directory&gt;
    &lt;/properties&gt;

For `Java 10` I changed it to the following:

    &lt;maven.compiler.source&gt;10&lt;/maven.compiler.source&gt;
    &lt;maven.compiler.target&gt;10&lt;/maven.compiler.target&gt;

This does not work, just like using `1.10` as the version for the source and target compiler.

Maven: Invalid target release: 10

In the windows environment you will have .m2 folder in C:\Users\user_name location and you will copy your settings.xml file to it in order to setup your proxy settings and nexus repository locations and etc.

So What I have to done on Ubuntu environment to get similar setup after installing maven on it. 

.m2 , settings.xml in Ubuntu

I have a Gradle project I&#39;m using the **maven-publisher** plugin to install my android library to maven local and a maven repo.  

That works, but the generated pom.xml does not include any dependency information.  Is there a workaround to include that information, or am I forced to go back to the **maven** plugin and do all the manual configuration that requires?

----

Researching I realized that I&#39;m not telling the publication where the dependencies are, I&#39;m only specifying the output/artifact, so I need a way to link this [`MavenPublication`][1] to the dependencies, but I have not yet found how to do that in the documentation.

Gradle not including dependencies in published pom.xml

Is there an argument when calling a maven build to specify an alternate file in place of the standard pom.xml file name?

Basically, I have a need to run the *test* goal of my maven build with a variety of configurations.  Right now I am having to use an external script to update the standard pom with this configurations, then revert the file after.  I would much rather just be able to maintain several seperate configuration files and call maven with the specific one I need.

What I am wondering is if there is some way to override the pom.xml such as

    mvn clean test   (uses standard pom.xml)
    mvn clean test -Dmaven.source=alternate.xml
    mvn clean test -Dmaven.source=alternate2.xml

Is this possible?



Maven alternate pom

I have created simple project from maven-achetype-quickstart under Eclipse Indigo, then I went to pom.xml gui editor and in dependencies tab added dependency `log4j` by search in appropriate dialog. Now my pom.xml looks like

    &lt;project xmlns=&quot;http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0&quot; xmlns:xsi=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&quot;
      xsi:schemaLocation=&quot;http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org xsd/maven-.0.0.xsd&quot;&gt;
    &lt;modelVersion&gt;4.0.0&lt;/modelVersion&gt;
    &lt;groupId&gt;mygroup&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;Test_Maven_03&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;version&gt;0.0.1-SNAPSHOT&lt;/version&gt;
      &lt;packaging&gt;jar&lt;/packaging&gt;

      &lt;name&gt;Test_Maven_03&lt;/name&gt;
      &lt;url&gt;http://maven.apache.org&lt;/url&gt;

      &lt;properties&gt;

      &lt;/properties&gt;

      &lt;dependencies&gt;
        &lt;dependency&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;junit&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;junit&lt;/artifactId&gt;
          &lt;scope&gt;test&lt;/scope&gt;
        &lt;/dependency&gt;
        &lt;dependency&gt;
        	&lt;groupId&gt;log4j&lt;/groupId&gt;
        	&lt;artifactId&gt;log4j&lt;/artifactId&gt;
        	&lt;version&gt;1.2.15&lt;/version&gt;
        &lt;/dependency&gt;
      &lt;/dependencies&gt;
      &lt;dependencyManagement&gt;
  	&lt;dependencies&gt;
  		&lt;dependency&gt;
  			&lt;groupId&gt;junit&lt;/groupId&gt;
  			&lt;artifactId&gt;junit&lt;/artifactId&gt;
  			&lt;version&gt;3.8.1&lt;/version&gt;
  		&lt;/dependency&gt;
  	&lt;/dependencies&gt;
      &lt;/dependencyManagement&gt;
    &lt;/project&gt;


Eclipse says my POM have many problems like 

Missing artifact javax.jms:jms:jar:1.1	pom.xml	/Test_Maven_03	line 2	Maven Dependency Problem

What does it mean and how to see maven feature of automatic jar downloading. 


**EDIT 1**
If I select log4j 1.2.16 instead of 1.2.15, I get another error: `Missing artifact log4j:log4j:bundle:1.2.16`. So I see no automatic jar management at all.

Missing artifact com.sun.jdmk:jmxtools:jar:1.2.1

I am switching to use Maven for my Spring web app projects and I am running into a simple issue. I am not sure where to put the CSS and JS files in the new project structure.

**Traditional Web App Structure**

In a traditional Java web app structure (In Eclipse, created as a Dynamic Web Project) I put the CSS, Javascript and Images files under the following structure

    WebContent
    |__css/myStyles.css
    |__js/myjs.js
    |__images/myImage.gif
    |__WEB-INF

Then in my jsp if I want to reference a CSS file I do as follows:

    &lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;&lt;%=request.getContextPath()%&gt;/css/myStyles.css&quot;&gt;

This works fine. 
     
**Maven Web App Structure**

In a Maven project I have put the css files in these locations:

First Attempt
-------------

Under the **webapp** folder at the same level as WEB-INF just like in a traditional dynamic web project. But when I do the following

    mvn clean tomcat:run

I get the following error from the Spring Framework:

    org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound - No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/appname/css/myStyles.css] in DispatcherServlet

 
Second Attempt
--------------

Placed my css folder under **src/main/resources** But when I do the following:

    mvn clean tomcat:run

I get the following error from the Spring Framework:

    org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound - No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/appname/css/myStyles.css] in DispatcherServlet

Third Attempt
-------------

Placed my css folder **src/main/resources**

Results: Same as above



I am sure it&#39;s something simple but I am stuck, maybe I am overlooking something. Thanks in advance

**UPDATE**: Adding pom.xml to see if it can help troubleshoot the issue:

    &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;?&gt;

Where do CSS and JavaScript files go in a Maven web app project?

# Background

Trying to add a Java library to the local Maven repository using a clean install of Apache Maven 3.1.0, with Java 1.7. Here is how the Java archive file was added:

    mvn install:install-file \
      -DgroupId=net.sourceforge.ant4x \
      -DartifactId=ant4x \
      -Dversion=0.3.0 \
      -Dfile=ant4x-0.3.0.jar \
      -Dpackaging=jar

This created the following directory structure:

    $HOME/.m2/repository/net/sourceforge/ant4x/
    ├── 0.3.0
    │   ├── ant4x-0.3.0.jar.lastUpdated
    │   └── ant4x-0.3.0.pom.lastUpdated
    └── ant4x
        ├── 0.3.0
        │   ├── ant4x-0.3.0.jar
        │   ├── ant4x-0.3.0.pom
        │   └── _remote.repositories
        └── maven-metadata-local.xml

The project&#39;s `pom.xml` file references the dependent project (the tree above) as follows:

    &lt;properties&gt;
      &lt;java-version&gt;1.5&lt;/java-version&gt;
      &lt;net.sourceforge.ant4x-version&gt;0.3.0&lt;/net.sourceforge.ant4x-version&gt;
      &lt;project.build.sourceEncoding&gt;UTF-8&lt;/project.build.sourceEncoding&gt;
    &lt;/properties&gt;
    ...
    &lt;dependency&gt;
      &lt;groupId&gt;net.sourceforge&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;ant4x&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;version&gt;${net.sourceforge.ant4x-version}&lt;/version&gt;
      &lt;scope&gt;provided&lt;/scope&gt;
    &lt;/dependency&gt;

# Problem

After running `mvn compile`, the following error was returned ([full log on Pastebin][1]):

    [ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project ant4docbook: Could not resolve dependencies for project net.sourceforge:ant4docbook:jar:0.6-SNAPSHOT: Failure to find net.sourceforge:ant4x:jar:0.3.0 in http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced -&gt; [Help 1]

The [documentation][2] notes a number of issues that could be present, however none of these appear to apply.

# Ideas

I tried the following, as per the documentation:

1. Copy default settings to user&#39;s home directory for Maven:&lt;pre&gt;
   cp /opt/apache-maven-3.1.0/conf/settings.xml $HOME/.m2/.&lt;/pre&gt;
1. Edit the user&#39;s settings.xml file.
1. Update the value for the local repository:&lt;pre&gt;
   &lt;localRepository&gt;${user.home}/.m2/repository&lt;/localRepository&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
1. Save the file.

I also tried the following commands:

    mvn -U
    mvn clear -U

I tried using Maven 3.0.5, but that failed, too.

# Question

How do you force Maven to use the local version of the library, rather than trying to seek out a library that is not yet available to download?
