spring roo build fails because of missing dependency org.springframework.build.aws.maven

I just cloned a fresh copy of spring-roo from github and tried to mvn install it. But that failed because a dependency was missing.

I suspect the solution to work for other cases of missing build in spring projects as well.

Missing:
----------
1) org.springframework.build.aws:org.springframework.build.aws.maven:jar:3.1.0.RELEASE

  Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

  Then, install it using the command: 
      mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.springframework.build.aws -DartifactId=org.springframework.build.aws.maven -Dversion=3.1.0.RELEASE -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

  Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there: 
      mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=org.springframework.build.aws -DartifactId=org.springframework.build.aws.maven -Dversion=3.1.0.RELEASE -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]

  Path to dependency: 
        1) org.springframework.roo:org.springframework.roo.root:pom:1.2.5.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
        2) org.springframework.build.aws:org.springframework.build.aws.maven:jar:3.1.0.RELEASE
Solution

  • I could solve this problem by adding the spring releases repository to the pom.xml of spring-roo.
