Non-resolvable parent POM error for artifact in local Nexus repository

[oman002]

Hi,

I would like to generate scaffolding on an set of JPA entities in an already existing persistence project. However, when I switch to the existing project's directory and run forge I get the following error:

Caused by: org.apache.maven.model.building.ModelBuildingException: 1 problem was encountered while building the effective model for net.rda:core-persistence:1.5.0.8-SNAPSHOT

[FATAL] Non-resolvable parent POM: Could not find artifact net.rda:common-parent:pom:1.5.0 and 'parent.relativePath' points at wrong local POM @ line 3, column 10

The parent POM artifact net.rda:common-parent exists in my local Nexus repository. How can I tell Forge to fetch it from there?

Thanks

If Forge is unable to resolve the parent POM, then chances are good that Maven builds will have the same problem. My recommendation is to either: A) Fix the relativePath location so that it points to the correct parent POM B) Remove the relativePath entirely.

I hope this helps,

Hi thanks for your reply!

The maven build runs fine. There also isn't any relativePath location in my pom.xml:

<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/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <parent>

        <artifactId>common-parent</artifactId>

        <groupId>net.rda</groupId>

        <version>1.5.0</version>

    </parent>

    <artifactId>core-persistence</artifactId>

    <groupId>net.rda</groupId>

    <version>1.5.0.8-SNAPSHOT</version>

    <name>Core Persistance</name>

    <build>

        <testResources>

            <testResource>

                <directory>src/test/resources</directory>

            </testResource>

            <testResource>

                <directory>src/main/properties</directory>

            </testResource>

        </testResources>

    </build>

</project>

Could it be that forge isn't finding my .m2/settings.xml file which specifies the local Nexus repository that contains the parent pom?

[lincolnthree]

Odd. Could you perhaps email me your entire project (so that I can try to reproduce your issue) on the forge-dev list? [e-mail]

I'd like to take a closer look.

Thanks,

If I modify my pom and explictly add my local Nexus repository it works. However I expect forge to use the repos I have specified in maven conf\settings.xml, just as mvn package does.

I've posted details for replicating the issue to [e-mail] 

Thanks!!

[lincolnthree]

Okay. Forge may be ignoring repositories in settings.xml, which is not good. I'll have a look at this.

Fixed in latest SNAPSHOT. Could you try building forge from source (or waiting for a new snapshot build) and try again?

https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/index.html#nexus-search;gav~org.jboss.forge~forge-distribution~~~~kw,versionexpand

1.1.1-SNAPSHOT - you might have to wait for the CI build if you don't do it yourself.

Thanks very much for the fix - however I tried forge-distribution-1.1.1-20121010.225553-23.zip and it still has the error (and some others beside).

On a side note, to clarify the above - when I said local Nexus repository I really meant non-public coporate Nexus repository.

If a locally cached copy of the parent pom and it's .sha1 file exist in my machine's local repository (ie: .m2/repository) then there is no problem for forge.
