Could not find artifact com.lowagie:itext:pom:2.1.7.js8 in AsposeJavaAPI (https://repository.aspose.com/repo/)

Steven_Ebeling · September 15, 2020, 7:29am

I recently got this message when deploying the project. We use the Developer OEM version ($ 2997).
The project cannot be deployed because this library can no longer be found.
What can i do?

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.aspose</groupId>
        <artifactId>aspose-words</artifactId>
        <version>20.9</version>
        <classifier>jdk17</classifier>
    </dependency>

            <url>https://repository.aspose.com/repo/</url>
        </repository>
....

I also use the following library in my project

    <dependency>
        <groupId>net.sf.jasperreports</groupId>
        <artifactId>jasperreports</artifactId>
        <version>6.14.0</version>
    </dependency>

iText 2.1.7 version is from Jul 2009. isn’t it a little too old?

Please note that the Aspose.Words for Java 20.9 is not available at the moment. Hopefully, it will be available at the start of next week.

We have tested the scenario again and have not found the shared issue. Please try it at some other system. Perhaps, you are facing this issue due to Maven setting of Intellij. Please refer to the following articles. Hope this helps you.

Hey,

the projects are also built and distributed via Jenkins (Linux). There I get the same error as well as from the command line (mvn clean install). This is NOT an IntelliJ problem. IntelliJ has no control over Maven.
