I'm trying to use this Maven dependency for a project https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.eclipse.ecf.protocol/bittorrent/0.3.0
I used the declaration in my pom.xml, when I update the project it could not resolve dependency from this https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/ URL.
So I looked up the page and there was no Bittorent jar there. Can anyone explain me why this jar is missing from the maven2 repo and how to resolve this error. I tried other answers but nothing works for this one.
There are other ways for an author to host their jars in their public website. But I'm not sure why dependency resolving error occurs in this repo, when I figure out I'll edit this answer to include it. Until then You can download the jar from files section of the repository page and include it in your class path to solve this issue for now.
here's the link to file
This artifact is not hosted on the maven central repository (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/), but rather on: https://www.jabylon.org/maven/
You can double-check this by navigating to: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.eclipse.ecf.protocol/bittorrent
In your case, the solution is to add the repository to your pom.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project>
<!-- ... -->
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.ecf.protocol</groupId>
<artifactId>bittorrent</artifactId>
<version>0.3.0</version>
</dependency>
<!-- ... -->
</dependencies>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>Jabylon</id>
<url>https://www.jabylon.org/maven/</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
</project>
