I had a similar solution like  maximilianus  The difference was that my  repositories files were called  remote repositores and I had to delete them to make it work   For eg in my case I deleted   C  Users USERNAME m2 repository jta jta 1 0 1 remote repositories and C  Users USERNAME m2 repository jndi jndi 1 2 1 remote repositories   After doing so my errors disappeared

If nothing else works which was the case for me, in the problems view, right click and copy the errors and paste it in a text editor. And scroll down to see if there are other errors besides just the missing artifact.

Eclipse problems view only shows about 100 errors and the errors that are not visible might be the ones that's causing all the other missing artifact errors.

Once I saw all the errors, I was able to figure out what the issue was and fixed it.

User · Answer

Ohh what a mess  My advise  When its comes to messy poms or project packaging  Eclipse is really bad at showing the real problem  It will tell you some dependencies are missing  when in fact for pom is malformed or some other problem are present in your pom    Leave Eclipse alone are run a maven install  You will get to the real problem really quick

Just in order to provide one more possible solution: In my case, I removed "central" from .m2/jdom/jdom/1.0 settings, and did everything else, without results.

So I discovered my settings.xml in ./m2 folder was stuck by a failed process. As I didn't found the process in the system task manager, I restarted the computer and it worked.

I faced this problem a couple of times  The following solution worked for me    copy the existing pom file as a back up  and delete the dependency that s causing this error  delete the contents of the folder which this artifact is referring to  add the deleted dependency in the pom again and add the jar files in that folder  do a Maven- update Project  The errors will go away    As a side note  sometimes when you re copying files from some other computer there may be encryption

I encountered similar issue  The missing artifacts  jar files  exists in    m2 directory and somehow eclipse is unable to find it    For example  Missing artifact org jdom jdom jar 1 1 compile  I looked through this directory    m2 repository org jdom jdom 1 1 and I noticed there is this file  maven repositories  I opened it using text editor and saw the following entry    NOTE  This is an internal implementation file  its format can be changed without prior notice   Wed Feb 13 17 12 29 SGT 2013 jdom-1 1 jar gt central  jdom-1 1 pom gt central    I simply removed the  central  word from the file    NOTE  This is an internal implementation file  its format can be changed without prior notice   Wed Feb 13 17 12 29 SGT 2013 jdom-1 1 jar gt   jdom-1 1 pom gt     and run Maven   Update Project from eclipse and it just worked    Note that your file may contain other keyword instead of  central

I was getting a similar problem with SBT and slf4j. Nothing had changed, but on one machine it suddenly wouldn't build.

I tried:

sbt clean
deleting target/
deleting project working directory and doing a fresh checkout/build
deleting the ~/.sbt/<scala-version>/ folder
deleting the offending slf4j folder from the ~/.ivy2 cache
placing the missing slf4j jars in the expected ivy2 folder

None of the above worked.

So, I had to bite the bullet and delete my entire ~/.ivy2/ cache folder and wait for 2GB of dependencies to be downloaded again. I'm not familiar with what sort of cache manifests get written in there, but this must have been a corruption of one of them.

(using SBT 2.10.4 for Spark builds)

If the other solutions didn t work and you know the correct jars are in your repository then  The problem is that eclipse caches the errors for some reason   I solved this problem by deleting the errors in the Problems tab and then I refreshed the project explorer and all the exclamation points and errors never returned

As i tried all above as my friends said but nothing worked actually, I was facing same problem and found solution in some different way my issue starts when i added below repository

<dependency>
  <groupId>dom4j</groupId>
  <artifactId>dom4j</artifactId>
  <version>20040902.021138</version>
</dependency>

and my problem starts...so then i changed the version and took previous version and it removed all error. So i think this issue can because of the version we are adding in POM.xml file.

I tried all of the above solutions except manually installing jar in my repository.

By deleting the _remote_repositories file in the same directory as the "missing jar file" and doing maven update I got it to work.

This is the same end result as manually installing, I presume.

Wow  this had me tearing my hair out  banging my head against walls  tables and other things  I had the same or a similar issue as the OP where it was either missing   not downloading the jar files or downloading them  but not including them in the Maven dependencies with the same error message  My limited knowledge of java packaging and maven probably didn t help   For me the problem seems to have been caused by the Dependency Type  bundle    but I don t know how or why   I was using the Add Dependency dialog in Eclipse Mars on the pom xml  which allows you to search and browse the central repository  I was searching and adding a dependency to jackson-core libraries  picking the latest version  available as a bundle  This kept failing   So finally  I changed the dependency properties form bundle to jar  again using the dependency properties window   which finally downloaded and referenced the dependencies properly after saving the changes

There are a few other options apart from Project- Clean  some of which are more along the lines of turning it off and on again     Try right-clicking on the project and selecting Maven- Update Project Configuration  Disable then re-enable dependency management  right-click Maven- Disable Dependency Management then Maven- Enable Dependency Management Close the project and reopen it  Check that your Maven settings are configured correctly  If you are behind a proxy you ll need to configure the proxy settings in the global or user settings  Check you re using the Maven installation you expect  By default m2eclipse uses the embedder  if you have a separate installation you may want to configure m2eclipse to use the external installation so that CLI and Eclipse builds are consistent  This also ensures you re configured to connect through any proxy as above

After not much success with any of the answers available here so far.

My solution:

I downloaded the jar file manually and then installed the dependency by using Apache Maven install:install-file plugin, see more details here

A Full Example:

<dependency>
     <groupId>commons-net</groupId>
     <artifactId>commons-net</artifactId>
     <version>3.4</version>
</dependency>

Download jar file from here
Install it by using the following command:

mvn -X install:install-file " -DgroupId=commons-net" "-DartifactId=commons-net" "-Dversion=3.4" "-Dpackaging=jar" "-Dfile={your_full_downloads_path}/commons-net-3.4.jar"

Click on the project and select Maven->Update Project

sudo eclipse   The issue for me was related to  maximilianus s question - in that eclipse was unable to locate the artifacts on my machine    Turns out all I had to do was run ubuntu as super user  and eclipse could access the  root  m2  directory   Not sure this is good practice  but it solved a problem I ve spent hours on    Edit  This is not definitely good practice  instead I setup my environment all over again  as a normal user rather than root  and it worked fine   Learning Linux
