Spring, JIRA : Maven repository and dependency not working

Question

I am working on a Spring project in which I would to integrate JIRA functionality so users can send bug reports from platform directly into JIRA and retrieve as well. Unfortunately when I put the repository URL and dependency, it says, not found and illegal content in repository code. What am I doing wrong?

I would appreciate any examples as well for achieving the task I mentioned above. Thanks a lot.

Here is my POM.xml

 <repository>
        <id>atlassian-public</id>
        <url>https://maven.atlassian.com/repository/public</url>
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
            <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
            <checksumPolicy>warn</checksumPolicy>
        </snapshots>
        <releases>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
            <checksumPolicy>warn</checksumPolicy>
        </releases>
    </repository>

    <dependencies>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.atlassian.jira</groupId>
            <artifactId>jira-components</artifactId>
            <version>6.4.9</version>
        </dependency>

What shall I do. Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

You should enclose the definition of your repository inside the <repositories> tag, like this:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <!-- Your repository -->
    </repository>
</repositories>
