Dependency on dependency leading to SNAPSHOT dependency in Maven

Question

I am trying to use Maven for a Java Application I am writing and am trying to use Java2WSDL with

    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.axis2.maven2</groupId>
      <artifactId>axis2-java2wsdl-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>${java2wsdl.version}</version>
      <configuration>
        <className>com.barclays.hypercube.marketdata.Model.PointSeriesClient</className>
      </configuration>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <goals>
            <goal>java2wsdl</goal>
          </goals>
        </execution>
      </executions>
    </plugin>

It seems that there is a dependency on

org.apache.ws.commons.axiom:axiom-api:jar:SNAPSHOT

Unsurprisingly this is not available from my Maven repository.

Is there any way to override this? Perhapos with a value in my settings.xml file.

Answer 1

You can exclude that unwanted jar from this maven. But first make sure you do not need this jar. Like here

<project>
  ...
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>sample.ProjectA</groupId>
      <artifactId>Project-A</artifactId>
      <version>1.0</version>
      <scope>compile</scope>
      <exclusions>
        <exclusion>  <!-- declare the exclusion here -->
          <groupId>sample.ProjectB</groupId>
          <artifactId>Project-B</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
      </exclusions> 
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</project>
