The Maven Central Repo may or may not contain all the libraries you need when building. Common missing libraries may include:

  • com.sun.jdmk:jmxtools:jar:1.2.1
  • com.sun.jmx:jmxri:jar:1.2.1
  • javax.jms:jms:jar:1.1

A quick way to fix this up is to add some more repositories to Maven.

You can add the repositories to either your project POM, your user settings.xml, or global settings.xml

<profile>
  <id>extra-repos</id>
  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>jboss-repository</id>
      <name>JBoss Deprecated Maven Repository</name>
      <url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public</url>
      <layout>default</layout>
      <releases><enabled>true</enabled><updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy></releases>
      <snapshots><enabled>false</enabled><updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy></snapshots>
    </repository>
    <repository>
      <id>maven2-repository.dev.java.net</id>
      <name>Java.net Repository for Maven</name>
      <url>http://download.java.net/maven/2/</url>
      <layout>default</layout>
    </repository>
    <repository>
      <id>maven2-repository.dev.java.net</id>
      <name>Java.net Repository for Maven</name>
      <url>https://repository.jboss.org/</url>
      <layout>default</layout>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
</profile>

After that, you can make sure this profile is always enabled by also adding it to your active profiles in your settings.xml

  <activeProfiles>
    <activeProfile>extra-repos</activeProfile>
  </activeProfiles>

Once you’ve added these additional repositories, you might also have to manually install some libraries. I ran into this problem with jmxtools.jar 1.2.1 and jmxri.jar 1.2.1. These have to be downloaded from Oracle; the jmx libraries I was looking for were found under jmx 1.2.1.

After downloading the libraries, you simply have to install them to your own repository. If you’re just using a local repository, it’s as simple as

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=jmxri.jar -DgroupId=com.sun.jmx -DartifactId=jmxri -Dversion=1.2.1 -Dpackaging=jar
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=jmxtools.jar -DgroupId=com.sun.jdmk -DartifactId=jmxtools -Dversion=1.2.1 -Dpackaging=jar
