Problem with the Maven repository

kai20511 · October 14, 2018, 8:18am

Hi Aspose-support,

It seems like I have a problem with the Maven repository for Aspose Words.

I am using the following in my pom.xml:

<repositories>
	<repository>
		<id>AsposeJavaAPI</id>
		<name>Aspose Java API</name>
		<url><https://releases.aspose.com/words/java/></url>
	</repository>
</repositories>
<dependencies>
	<dependency>
		<groupId>com.aspose</groupId>
		<artifactId>aspose-words</artifactId>
		<version>18.10</version>
		<classifier>jdk16</classifier>
	</dependency>
</dependencies>

Eclipse can find the library and is “successfully downloading” it.
But the size of the aspose-words-18.10-jdk16.jar is only 3KB and therefore my project of course does not work.

Is there anything I am doing wrong here?
Is the maven repository maybe wrong?

Btw I tried to download any other library from the normal maven repository like log4j which is working fine.

Thank you

Hi THere, I’m having issues with setting up maven repo. I’ve checked this document
https://blog.aspose.com/2014/08/12/aspose-for-maven-aspose-cloud-maven-repository/, added repo and dependency to the pom.xml

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.aspose</groupId>
        <artifactId>aspose-words</artifactId>
        <version>21.0.0</version>
        <type>pom</type>
    </dependency>
        
     <!--https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.aspose/aspose-pdf--> 
     <dependency>
         <groupId>com.aspose</groupId>
         <artifactId>aspose-pdf</artifactId>
         <version>21.6</version>
         <type>jar</type>
    </dependency>
 </dependencies>
 <repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>AsposeJavaAPI</id>
        <name>Aspose Java API</name>
        <url><http://repository.aspose.com/repo></url>
        </repository>
 </repositories>

But i’m still getting

 Failed to execute goal on project simploud-app: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.simploud:simploud-app:war:2.0: Failed to collect dependencies at com.aspose:aspose-words:pom:21.0.0: Failed to read artifact descriptor for com.aspose:aspose-words:pom:21.0.0: Could not transfer artifact com.aspose:aspose-words:pom:21.0.0 from/to maven-default-http-blocker (http://0.0.0.0/): Blocked mirror for repositories: [AsposeJavaAPI (http://repository.aspose.com/repo, default, releases+snapshots)] -> [Help 1]

Did I missed some step?

Before I had these two repos defiend

 <repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>aspose-maven-repository</id>
        <url><https://releases.aspose.com/words/java/></url>
    </repository>
    
    <repository>
        <id>AsposeJavaAPI</id>
        <name>Aspose Java API</name>
        <url><https://releases.aspose.com/words/java/></url>
     </repository>
 </repositories>

@velicko91 As I can see you you insecure http url to Aspose reporsitory. Please try using https address:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>AsposeJavaAPI</id>
        <name>Aspose Java API</name>
        <url><https://releases.aspose.com/words/java/></url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project simploud-app: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.simploud:simploud-app:war:2.0: The following artifacts could not be resolved: com.aspose:aspose-words:jar:22.3, com.aspose:aspose-slides:jar:22.3: Could not find artifact com.aspose:aspose-words:jar:22.3 in AsposeJavaAPI (https://repository.aspose.com/repo/)

@velicko91 Please replace the following:

<dependency>
	<groupId>com.aspose</groupId>
	<artifactId>aspose-words</artifactId>
	<version>22.3</version>
	<type>jar</type>
</dependency>

with

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.aspose</groupId>
    <artifactId>aspose-words</artifactId>
    <version>22.3</version>
    <classifier>jdk16</classifier>
</dependency>
