Using jira rest API in J2EE failed

Arno November 9, 2017

I try to add a maven dependency in my J2EE eclipse project. I found this dependency, when I look for 'maven dependency jira rest api':

<dependency>
        <groupId>com.atlassian.jira</groupId>
        <artifactId>jira-rest-java-client-core</artifactId>
        <version>4.0.0</version>
</dependency>

If I add it to my POM.xml I was told, that the depending jar was not found. I tried also older version, but get the same error like this:

The container 'Maven Dependencies' references non existing library 'C:\Users\Arno\.m2\repository\com\atlassian\jira\jira-rest-java-client-core\4.0.0\jira-rest-java-client-core-4.0.0.jar'

other dependencies in the same project work. This is my first maven project. Do I miss something or should I use an other artifact?

best regards

Arno

Hello,

I just tried it. I could get this dependency. There must be something with your maven setups.

Thanks for your answer. Can you give me an advise where should I look for this issue in maven (as I told this is my first maven project).

I try to get an old webserver project running in this infrastructure. As I wrote, other dependencies worked.

Because the build of the project has only 3 errors with this dependency and over 10000 without, perhaps it is possible, that the download of the jar will be blocked? But I see now errors, what point to this possibility.

Some hints to analyse more?

Here my actual pom.xml:

I can not see anything wrong with your pom.xml. I think the problem is with your mvn settings. How are your jars downloaded? mvn goes straight to the internet or uses artifactory or nexus as a proxy? When you package your war, you can see from which path the required jar is being downloaded. Look at the path. Make sure it is accessible.
