Can't build using JitPack.io

Question

I am trying

<!-- https://github.com/lbehnke/hierarchical-clustering-java.git -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.lbehnke</groupId>
<artifactId>hierarchical-clustering-java</artifactId>
<version>anyBranch-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

is that the right way to use it?

I've added

<repository>
<id>jitpack.io</id>
<url>https://jitpack.io</url>
</repository>

and I am trying to build from inside eclipse (of course it's a maven project)

error says

Missing artifact com.github.lbehnke:hierarchical-clustering-
java:jar:anyBranch-SNAPSHOT

and

The container 'Maven Dependencies' references non existing 
library '/home/leoks/.m2/repository/com/github/lbehnke/hierarchical-
clustering-java/anyBranch-SNAPSHOT/hierarchical-clustering-
java-anyBranch-SNAPSHOT.jar'

ps. I've already checked these threads

Can I use a GitHub project directly in Maven?

But none seems to help

Change the version id for the tag id in your dependency.

So in your case, for version v1.1.0 the tag id is d74af46. Found at: Repository page -> releases -> lefthand column (under the version id).

<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.lbehnke</groupId>
<artifactId>hierarchical-clustering-java</artifactId>
<version>d74af46</version>
</dependency>    

This doesn't gives you the SNAPSHOT version but at least should compile. I tested here and it worked.
