I have always gotten my dependencies from http://mvnrepository.com. Has worked every time. But I can't seem to get wss4j working. My POM is like this:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
<version>4.2.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.wss4j</groupId>
<artifactId>wss4j</artifactId>
<version>2.1.3</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
I can get the Spring just fine, but I keep getting the "Can't find dependency" error. I even use the -U option and I get this:
Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/org/apache/wss4j/wss4j/2.1.3/wss4j-2.1.3.jar
Downloading: https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/wss4j/wss4j/2.1.3/wss4j-2.1.3.jar

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project crypt.lib: Could not resolve dependencies for project mmaceachran:crypt.lib:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact org.apache.wss4j:wss4j:jar:2.1.3 in mvnrepository (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/) -> [Help 1]
But there is is downloading!!! What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE:
I used the -e option and I see that it can't find the artifact:
Caused by: org.sonatype.aether.transfer.ArtifactNotFoundException: Could not find artifact org.apache.wss4j:wss4j:jar:2.1.3 in central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2)
but it is clearly there: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/wss4j/wss4j/2.1.3/
No, it isn't there: The artifact you declared in your pom has no <type>. i.e.: by default, Maven assumes a jar type. Look in URL you posted and realise there is no .jar artifact.
Surely you need to specify a type=pom.
