Maven Build Failure For JBoss AS 7 Hello world example

[gvanto]

Im trying to follow this tutorial:

https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS7/Helloworld+quickstart

But getting build error when following the simple instructions to clean + build package:

gert@gert-VirtualBox:~/workspace/jboss-eap-6.1.0.GA-quickstarts/helloworld$ mvn clean package

[INFO] Scanning for projects...

[ERROR] The build could not read 1 project -> [Help 1]

[ERROR]  

[ERROR]   The project org.jboss.as.quickstarts:jboss-as-helloworld:7.1.2-SNAPSHOT (/home/gert/workspace/jboss-eap-6.1.0.GA-quickstarts/helloworld/pom.xml) has 4 errors

[ERROR]     Non-resolvable import POM: Failure to find org.jboss.spec:jboss-javaee-6.0:pom:3.0.2.Final-redhat-3 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 @ line 68, column 25 -> [Help 2]

I haven't edited the pom.xml file at all - shouldn't this just work?

I've googled it and came across this: Re: JBoss Developer Studio 5 : HTML5 example : Project build error: Non-resolvable import POM

But I don't seem to have a settings file anywhere?

Please, any help would be appreciated!

Also,

When I import this maven project into Eclipse (Kepler) - the HelloWorldServlet.java class file has some errors in it:

(underlined in red):

@WebServlet (could not resolve to type)

HttpServlet (same error as above)

Should these come up as errors in eclipse? (ie does it matter?) Or should there be jar lib's included in the project setup? (but this still won't solve the maven building of package from the command line).

Very frustrating ... any help would be appreciated - I've downloaded the quickstart example, extracted it, tried building it and it fails ...(I've not changed a single line of code!) very strange

Hmmmm OK, found answer here:

The main problem is that the page you refer to is obsolete.

The current quickstart information can be found here: JBoss AS Quickstarts

The current helloworld download and instructions can be found here: helloworld: Helloworld Example

The current helloworld tutorial can be found here: CDI + Servlet — Helloworld quickstart

There is a fully configured Maven 'settings.xml' file in this version of the quickstart download. Follow the instructions here and you should not run into any problems: JBoss AS Quickstarts: Configure Maven
