Maven could not resolve dependency of WebSphere provided dependency

Question

I am trying to import a legacy application on IntelliJ and most of the modules have dependencies to com.ibm.tools.target.was and com.ibm.tools.target.portal artifacts.

I am getting this in the Maven window of IntelliJ:

This is the error message I am getting on mvn install:

Failed to execute goal on project xxx-managers: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.xxx.xxx.xxx-managers:xxx-managers:ejb:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Failure to find com.ibm.tools.target:was:pom:8.0.0 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

I tried to imitate a similar procedure found in the IBM web knowledge center (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSHR6W/com.ibm.websphere.wdt.doc/topics/install_server_apis.html) but it did not work.

I added the was_public.pom as maven project and imported the project as a dependency to my other module.

I also tried to add WebSphere as a library dependency:

Nothing worked.

Please help, thanks in advance. EDIT: This is my settings.xml (I copied it from an other environment in which the application is working) and it includes IBM repositories:

I think you need to install dependencies in your local repo, based on the local installation of WAS. Try this link developer.ibm.com/answers/questions/169427/… — Gas

You miss some artifacts, e.g. com.ibm.tools.target:was:pom:8.0.0, and you need to either specify a repository in your settings.xml, where it should come from or install these artifacts into your local repository.

I included my settings.xml in the original post. It seems like it already has the repositories specified. Nothing has changed, the problem persists. Those artifacts cannot be found in the maven repository.

JF Meier Over a year ago

Have you checked in the ibm repositories that the artifacts you miss are indeed existing?

Paris Karagiannopoulos Over a year ago

Thank you for your replies. The repositories exists but contain only xml and pom file not jars. The thing is that in the other pc that this project runs my m2 repository folders are similar. No jar files in there too. I was wondering if those dependencies should somehow be provided by the application server. In any case the problem still persists.

JF Meier Over a year ago

Your missing dependendencies are poms, so no jar files required. The question is if the repositories really contain all the poms/jars/whatever that you reference.

Paris Karagiannopoulos Over a year ago

The repositories contain the pom files and they also exist in my .m2. Everything seems to have downloaded to my .m2 properly but the project cannot be built.
