Hey Dennis

Sorry for the late reply but I was all the day traveling by train and here in Germany the railway companies don't know as well that internet still exist :-)

I checked your pom - you did some semantic mistakes. I am quite sure this file is not generated by eclipse and heavy manually edited.
I attached you a change version. below I explain you a bit the entries.

As first please try to use as beginner the standard maven conventions about directory structures

java files goes to: src/main/java - this passes the compiler
non java files like xml goes to: src/main/resources - maven put everything well together

the output you will find in /target

I hope this helps you.

.regards

I'm not sure what you mean by the exact error as the part I didn't post was just the source info. FWIW, here is the exact error:

 [javac] /usr/build/src/KCBSEvents/Helpers.java:36: error: package org.apache.commons.io does not exist
    [javac] import org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils;
    [javac]                             ^


I don't think I know what the DependencyManagement section is. I have <dependencies>, isn't that the correct section?

Hi Dennis


I suppose you use a simple Maven Project configuration. May you added the Dependency manually. Whitout seeing the exact error in the cmd and your pom I guess you added the dependency in the DependencyManagement section. You need to use the Dependencies section.

Subject: Confusion with Dependency Paths


I have a Maven project that was created using Eclipse. The application

is working fine but I am having a problem compiling with 'javac'. I'm

getting the following compile error:


 error: package org.apache.commons.io does not exist


However, the build path contains:


../repository/commons-io/commons-io/2.5


When I added the dependency I specified:


GroupID: commons-io

Artifact: commons-io

Version: 2.5


That is what is reflected in the pom.xml. I am guessing there is

something wrong with the path but I do not understand where

org.apache.commons-io comes from in the error message. Doesn't that mean

the pom.xml dependency would have to be:


GroupID:org.apache.commons-io

Artifact: commons-io

Version: 2.5


Which it isn't and means a different path then the above and the

explains the error. When I look at the build path in Eclipse the path is

correct. Can someone explain what is going on and how to debug/fix it? TIA.
