Maven - AbsoluteLayout dependency

I am trying to revive my old project. I want to use maven for it and I want to add AbsoluteLayout dependency. I am kinda new in maven so I have no idea what is wrong. I have found that this should work:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.netbeans.external</groupId>
<artifactId>AbsoluteLayout</artifactId>
<version>RELEASE802</version>
</dependency>

but I only get this error:

Failed to execute goal on project XXX: Could not resolve dependencies for project xx.xxxx:XXX:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT: Failure to find org.netbeans.external:AbsoluteLayout:jar:RELEASE802 in http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1]

After this I manually added this dependency from my netbeans folder in my computer. And it is working. Is there another way how to add this dependency? I would like to include it in my pom file. Any ideas?

Solution

  • You need to add a Netbeans repository to your POM:

    <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>netbeans</id>
      <name>Netbeans rep</name>
      <url>http://bits.netbeans.org/maven2/</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>
