Solution

  • I've successfully reproduced your error and found the following workaround:

    1. Add xml-apis:xml-apis:1.4.01 and junit:junit-dep:4.9 to your list of artifacts.
    2. Add the version_conflict_policy = "pinned" attribute to maven_install.

    The root cause is https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_jvm_external/issues/250. The missing dependencies are artifacts that relocated to new GAV coordinates, which the coursier resolver cannot handle yet. The general workaround is to manually add the legacy GAV coordinates into maven_install.

    Specifically, xml-apis:xml-apis:2.0.2 relocated to xml-apis:xml-apis:1.0.b2 (but 1.4.0.1 wasn't relocated), and junit:junit-dep:4.9 relocated to junit:junit.
