Maven POM error - POM is missing

Question

I am trying to build a maven project. My other team members are able to build it without issues. I get the following errors:

[WARNING] The POM for org.hectorclient:hector-core:jar:1.0-3 is missing, no dependency information 
available
[WARNING] The POM for org.hectorclient:hector-test:jar:1.0-3 is missing, no dependency information     
available

Then the build fails with the error: Could not resolve dependencies for the project XYZ. What could be possibly going wrong?

Answer 1

Surely the jar is missing from your .m2 local repository. Assuming the dependency is written in the pom.

What I suggest:

1. Case: When you have internet

   1. fire mvn install that will follow your POM.xml and it will download all the necessary jars.
   2. then fire mvn compile to build.

2. Case: You are having restricted internet connection that is restricting / no Internet

   1. Take the repository + POM from other machine that is compiling successfully
   2. then fire mvn -o compile

I assume it will solve your case.
