Errors in pom.xml with dependencies (Missing artifact...)

A friend has passed me a Maven project that I'm trying to run locally in my computer. All that I have done in Eclipse, I selected:

File -> Import -> Existing Maven Projects

After that, the project showed me 4 errors in my pom.xml (Missing artifact..):

I tried removing the content of .m2 folder and then in Eclipse I clicked on my project and chose "Run as" -> "Maven clean" and then "Run as" -> "Maven install". But I still have the same errors. I'm new with Spring so I dont know what else to do.

EDIT:

When I try to do: run as/ maven install, this is what my console says:

EDIT2: This is my complete pom.xml: It looks pretty awful when I try to paste the code here.

It seemed that a lot of dependencies were incorrect.

Download the whole POM here

A good place to look for the correct dependencies is the Maven Repository website.

I know it is an old question. But I hope my answer will help somebody. I had the same issue and I think the problem is that it cannot find those .jar files in your local repository. So what I did is I added the following code to my pom.xml and it worked.

<repositories> <repository> <id>spring-milestones</id> <name>Spring Milestones</name> <url> <snapshots> <enabled>false</enabled> </snapshots> </repository> </repositories> 

It means maven is not able to download artifacts from repository. Following steps will help you:

1. Go to repository browser and check if artifact exist.
2. Check settings.xml to see if proper respository is specified.
3. Check proxy settings.

This is a very late answer,but this might help.I went to this link and searched for ojdbc8(I was trying to add jdbc oracle driver) When clicked on the result , a note was displayed like this:

I clicked the link in the note and the correct dependency was mentioned like below

I was running into this trying to resolve a separate issue with a Maven/Java/Selenium/Cucumber project. For some reason, even though the Maven repo page for com.google.guava snippet had this in it, I resolved this by removing bundle from it.

<dependency> <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId> <artifactId>guava</artifactId> <version>31.1-jre</version> <!--type>bundle</type--> </dependency> 

Exact error message:

Missing artifact com.google.guava:guava:bundle:31.1-jre 

I also found this article helpful. How to Debug Dependency Conflicts in Maven and Gradle

I somehow had this issue after I lost internet connection. I was able to fix it by updating the Maven indexes in Eclipse and then selecting my project and updating the Snapshots/releases.

SIMPLE..

First check with the closing tag of project. It should be placed after all the dependency tags are closed.This way I solved my error. --Sush happy coding :)

In my case, My STS was pointing to JRE. I have modified the build path to connect with JDK.

Once I connected to JDK, the pom.xml issue was resolved.
