LWJGL project error in pom.xml: Missing artifact org.lwjgl:lwjgl-platform:jar:natives-windows:${lwjgl.version}

So I'm trying to teach myself LWJGl for fun, so I make the project file, put the things into the pom.xml file, and then I get this error:

Missing artifact org.lwjgl:lwjgl-platform:jar:natives-windows:${lwjgl.version}

This is my pom.xml file:

Any help would be appreciated, thanks :)

Solution

  • You should define a property for ${lwjgl.version}. As you can see at Maven Central, the only version of this artifact is 3.0.0 and you must explicitly define it. Please replace your <properties> tag with the following:

    <properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    <lwjgl.version>3.0.0</lwjgl.version>
</properties>

    Also, you might want to get use of the offical LWJGL page describing setting up Maven project, as I am not sure if your pom.xml includes all necessary dependencies.
