[maven-2] The following artifacts could not be resolved: javax.jms:jms:jar:1.1

I am trying to compile a maven project, but I systematically get the following error message:

[ERROR]Failed to execute goal on project ...:
Could not resolve dependencies for project ...:war:1.0.0:
The following artifacts could not be resolved: javax.jms:jms:jar:1.1,
com.sun.jdmk:jmxtools:jar:1.2.1, com.sun.jmx:jmxri:jar:1.2.1:
Failure to find javax.jms:jms:jar:1.1 in http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/maven2/
  was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until
  the update interval of maven2-repository.ibiblio.mirror has elapsed or
  updates are forced -> [Help 1]

I know about this maven post about Sun jars, but it does not solve the problem.

Is there a repository I can specify in my pom.xml?

Another solution if you don't want to modify your settings:

Download jms-1.1.jar from JBoss repository then:

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=javax.jms -DartifactId=jms -Dversion=1.1 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=jms-1.1.jar

You import one dependency, and this dependency is dependent on com.sun.jmx:jmxri:jar:1.2.1 and others, but com.sun.jmx:jmxri:jar:1.2.1 cannot be found in central repository,

so you'd better try to import another version.

Here suppose your dependency may be log4j, and you can try to import log4j:log4j:jar:1.2.13.

Try forcing updates using the mvn cpu option:

usage: mvn [options] [<goal(s)>] [<phase(s)>]

Options:
 -cpu,--check-plugin-updates            Force upToDate check for any
                                        relevant registered plugins

I also faced the same issue when I started using following maven dependency version for log4j (1.2.15) in my project.

<dependency>
  <groupId>log4j</groupId>
  <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
  <version>1.2.15</version>
</dependency>

Following error was thrown at me.

The following artifacts could not be resolved: javax.jms:jms:jar:1.1, com.sun.jdmk:jmxtools:jar:1.2.1, com.sun.jmx:jmxri:jar:1.2.1: Could not transfer artifact javax.jms:jms:jar:1.1 from/to java.net (https://maven-repository.dev.java.net/nonav/repository): Cannot access https://maven-repository.dev.java.net/nonav/repository with type legacy using the available connector factories: BasicRepositoryConnectorFactory: Cannot access https://maven-repository.dev.java.net/nonav/repository with type legacy using the available layout factories: Maven2RepositoryLayoutFactory: Unsupported repository layout legacy -> [Help 1]

I started using following log4j (1.2.17) version and it helped me solve this issue without any configurations related fixes.

 <dependency>
      <groupId>log4j</groupId>
      <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
      <version>1.2.17</version>
    </dependency>

If anyone still wants to use jms1.1 then add the public jboss repository and maven will find it...

project->dependencies:

  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>javax.jms</groupId>
      <artifactId>jms</artifactId>
      <version>1.1</version>
    </dependency>

project->repositories:

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>repository.jboss.org-public</id>
      <name>JBoss.org Maven repository</name>
      <url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public</url>
    </repository>  

It works -

Log4 version 1.2.17 automatically resolves the issue as it has depency on geronimo-jms. I got the same issue with log4j- 1.2.15 version.

Added with more around the issue

using 1.2.17 resolved the issue during the compile time but the server(Karaf) was using 1.2.15 version thus creating conflict at run time. Thus I had to switch back to 1.2.15.

The JMS and JMX api were available for me at the runtime thus i did not import the J2ee api.

what i did was I used the compile time dependency on 1.2.17 but removed it at the runtime.

            <dependency>
            <groupId>log4j</groupId>
            <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
            <version>1.2.17</version>
        </dependency>

.....

A check of ibliblio and java.net repositories reveal that jmx related jar is not present in either. I think you should manually download jms and install them locally as discussed here.

May not be the exactly same problem. but there is a nice article on the same line Here

In fact the real solution for this issue is to use the jms-api-1.1-rev-1.jar artifact available on Maven Central : http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Cjavax.jms%7Cjms-api%7C1.1-rev-1%7Cjar
