Project build error: 'dependencies.dependency.version' for com.amazonaws:aws-java-sdk-secretsmanager:jar is missing

Question

In my pom.xml in section,I have added following dependency:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
            <artifactId>aws-java-sdk-bom</artifactId>
            <version>1.11.95</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>

Then in <dependencies> section,I am adding following :

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
    <artifactId>aws-java-sdk-secretsmanager</artifactId>
</dependency>

Why I am getting compile time error : Project build error: 'dependencies.dependency.version' for com.amazonaws:aws-java-sdk-secretsmanager:jar is missing.

Answer 1

Please consider using the AWS SDK for Java V2. Amazon Strongly recommends moving away from V1 to V2.

To use AWS Secrets Manager, use these POM dependencies:

<dependencyManagement>
        <dependencies>
             <dependency>
                <groupId>software.amazon.awssdk</groupId>
                <artifactId>bom</artifactId>
                 <version>2.17.46</version>
                <type>pom</type>
            </dependency>

        </dependencies>
    </dependencyManagement>

and

<dependency>
        <groupId>software.amazon.awssdk</groupId>
         <artifactId>secretsmanager</artifactId>
         **<version>2.17.46</version>**
   </dependency>

For this service, it seems it wants a version for AWS Secrets Manager.
