Missing artifact com.oracle:ojdbc6:jar:11.2.0 in pom.xml

Due to Oracle license restriction, there are no public repositories that provide ojdbc jar.

You need to download it and install in your local repository. Get jar from Oracle and install it in your local maven repository using

mvn install:install-file -Dfile={path/to/your/ojdbc.jar} -DgroupId=com.oracle 
-DartifactId=ojdbc6 -Dversion=11.2.0 -Dpackaging=jar

If you are using ojdbc7, here is the link


This is the quickest way to solve the problem but it's not recommended because its applicable only for your local system.

Download the jar, comment your previous entry for ojdbc6, and give a new local entry like so:

Previous Entry:

<!-- OJDBC6 Dependency -->
        <!-- <dependency>
            <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
            <artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId>
            <version>1.0</version>
            <scope>runtime</scope>
        </dependency> -->

New Entry:

<dependency>
        <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
        <artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId>
        <version>1.0</version>
        <scope>system</scope>
        <systemPath>${project.basedir}/lib/ojdbc6/ojdbc6.jar</systemPath>
        </dependency> 

Download the oracle ojdbc driver from Oracle official website.

Install/Add Oracle driver to the local maven repository mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ojdbc7 -Dpackaging=jar -Dversion=12.1.0.1 -Dfile=ojdbc7.jar -DgeneratePom=true

Specify the downloaded file location via -Dfile=

Add the following dependency in your pom file

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
    <artifactId>ojdbc7</artifactId>
    <version>12.1.0.1</version>
</dependency>

Use the same groupId/artifactId as specified in your mvn install command. Finally clean your project.
