Why is sbt not finding my dependency?

In the build.sbt for my lift project, I have a dependency on the paypal library

"net.liftmodules" % "paypal_2.6" % "1.3-SNAPSHOT",

At build time (e.g. sbt compile), the module cannot be found. What is confusing me is that if I check in the sonatype repo, the expected dependency is there

http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/net/liftmodules/paypal_2.6_2.11/1.3-SNAPSHOT/paypal_2.6_2.11-1.3-SNAPSHOT.pom

My question is why is sbt not finding a dependency that clearly exists>

Solution

  • I updated my sonatype resolvers to use https

    resolvers ++= Seq("snapshots"     at "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots",
                "releases"        at "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases"
                )

    problem solved.
