maven compile does not recognize my local repo dependency

Question

I have a local jar file to import into my folder, and I have run the mvn install:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile="C:\myapp\Development\core\target\api-core-1.0.0.jar" -DgroupId="com.myapp" -DartifactId="api-core" -Dversion="1.0.0" -Dpackaging=jar

And this is successuful:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Building api-malloc 0.0.1
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO]
[INFO] --- maven-install-plugin:2.4:install-file (default-cli) @ api-malloc ---
[INFO] Installing C:\myapp\Development\core\target\api-core-1.0.0.jar to C:\Users\myname\.m2\repository\com\myapp\api-core\1.0.0\api-core-1.0.0.jar
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS

From the .me folder, I can also see that the appropriate files are generated:

In the pom.xml file, I have:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

                </executions>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>

I also did a maven update project after installing the jar file.

However Eclipse still complain about the classes from that dependency api-core-1.0.0.jar cannot be resolved to a type.

What did I miss?

EDIT

The maven's settings.xml file is already included the lines while the error persist.

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0" 
          xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
          xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
  <localRepository>C:/Users/username/.m2/repository</localRepository>
  <offline>false</offline>

And in Eclipse, the maven setting is correct:

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
                          http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
      <localRepository>${userhome}/.m2/repository</localRepository>
      <offline>false</offline>
</settings>

try to add this to settings.xml Create on under ${userhome}/.m2/ if it does not exists.

Go to Maven->conf->setting.xml.add <localRepository>The path to the local repository </localRepository>

if you have in c: then path should look like this <localRepository>C:\Users\usename\.m2\repository</localRepository>

The .me/repository path seems to be the default path, and unfortunately even I specifically put the <localRepository> value there, it still didn't solve my problem :(

Roger Dwan Over a year ago

Have you checked the Eclipse->Preference->Maven->User Setting

soorapadman Over a year ago

@jamesdeath123 can you update maven in eclipse and check ? because it seems repository not updated.can you check?

jamesdeath123 Over a year ago

@RogerDwan please see my updated question - it looks legit.

jamesdeath123 Over a year ago

@Soorapadman yeah I tried maven update project and maven clean but still no luck.

If you're using eclipse try this.

Go to Windows->Show View->Other
You'll get a popup and in that go to Maven->Maven Repositories
Right click on the appropriate repository, and select Rebuild Index

Hope this helps.
