Maven dependency error (artifact)

Question

I'm trying to install Fenix framework with maven adding the following dependence:

<dependency>
    <groupId>pt.ist</groupId>
    <artifactId>fenix-framework-backend-infinispan</artifactId>
    <version>2.0-cloudtm</version>
</dependency>

gives the following error: missing artifact ...

My POM.xml :

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

</repositories>

</project>

Official documentation : https://fenix-framework.github.io/Usage.html

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

Those artifacts are not available on Maven Central but on a specific Fénix repository. From the official page :

These artifacts are available via the Fénix Framework Nexus repository, so you need to add it to your configuration:

 <pluginRepositories> <pluginRepository> <id>fenix-ashes-maven-repository</id> <url>https://fenix-ashes.ist.utl.pt/maven-public</url> </pluginRepository> </pluginRepositories> <repositories> <repository> <id>fenix-ashes-maven-repository</id> <url>https://fenix-ashes.ist.utl.pt/maven-public</url> </repository> </repositories> 

There is actually a typo in that page, that I corrected here: the last element should be <repositories> and not <pluginRepositories> . Therefore, you need to add those repositories to your POM (or to your Maven settings).

The dependency

<dependency>
  <groupId>pt.ist</groupId>
  <artifactId>fenix-framework-backend-infinispan</artifactId>
  <version>2.0-cloudtm</version>
</dependency>

is also incorrect from the documentation: that artifact indeed doesn't exist . The latest version is 2.6.2 and the artifact should be fenix-framework-backend-infinispan-code-generator , so you should have instead:

<dependency>
  <groupId>pt.ist</groupId>
  <artifactId>fenix-framework-backend-infinispan-code-generator</artifactId>
  <version>2.6.2</version>
</dependency>
