Maven: missing artifact org.springframework:spring:jar:4.2.6
I'm quite sure there is no artifact called "spring"
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring</artifactId> <!-- *** spring doesn't *** exist -->
<version>4.2.6</version>
</dependency>
Depending on the Spring components you need, you should basically include these dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
<version>4.2.6.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
<version>4.2.6.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
In my Spring project, I include the Spring artifacts via a BOM (Bill of Materials):
<properties>
<spring.version>4.2.6.RELEASE</spring.version>
</properties>
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-framework-bom</artifactId>
<version>${spring.version}</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-aspects</artifactId>
</dependency>
<!-- more -->
</dependencies>
What worked for me is that I deleted
/Users/username/.m2/repository/org/springframework/spring/
directory
and then run mvn clean install
command in my project.
That way Maven downloaded the real .jar file that was previously I guees not recognized.
