Problem

In maven java project, maven-surefire-plugin is required for any types of reports generation because mvn test command execute the test cases but there is not added the plug in for maven-surefire-plugin that’s why maven is not able to execute test cases.

Solution

To execute your test cases with Junit in maven Java project, you can add Junit dependency with maven-surefire-plugin.

JUnit 5 Dependency

<dependencies>
	<dependency>
		<groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
		<artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
		<version>5.5.2</version>
	</dependency>
</dependencies>

Maven Surefire Report Plugin

<build>
		<plugins> 
			<plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.0-M5</version>
            <dependencies>
                <dependency>
                    <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
                    <artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
                    <version>5.5.2</version>
                </dependency>
            </dependencies>
        </plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

I have tested this solution with Junit 5 and working perfectly fine for me. You can change this dependency in case using Junit 4.

I have solved this problem by using above solution. If you know any other way to solve it write in comments to help others.

Maven

[Solved]: Maven Error “Source option 5 is no longer supported. Use 6 or later”

Leave a comment 

While build my maven java project getting below exception.

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile (default-compile) on project Sym360: Compilation failure: Compilation failure: 
[ERROR] Source option 5 is no longer supported. Use 6 or later.
[ERROR] Target option 1.5 is no longer supported. Use 1.6 or later.
[ERROR] -> [Help 1]

Problem

This issue is because the maven is not able to identify which version of java compiler need to use while build your code.

Solution

There are two solution to handle such problem.

  1. If you are using simple maven java application then you can add these lines in you pom.xml properties tag .
<properties> 
   <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
   <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>
  1. If you application is spring boot application and defining maven compiler then add these lines in your pom.xml build tag.
<build>
   <plugins>
   <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.5.1</version>
        <configuration>
            <source>1.8</source>
            <target>1.8</target>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>
   </plugins>
   </build>

Based on your code written and compatibility of java version, you can update this java version like java 11 etc.

I have solved this problem by using these two solution. If you know any other way to solve it write in comments to help others.

Maven Gradle
Maven uses XML Gradle doesn’t use XML
Maven written in Java Gradle written in Java, Kotlin and Gradle
Maven scripts are not shorter and clean Gradle Scripts are shorter and clean
Maven is a software project management and builds tool developed for Java-based applications. Gradle is an open-source, build automation system built on concepts of maven and ant.
Maven makes build process easier, provides best guidelines for development and allow to migrate new features Gradle allows structuring of build and supports for multi projects builds. Gradle increases productivity provides ways to migrate and builds applications.

Maven Vs Ant

Leave a comment

Ant was the first “modern” java application build tool released in 2000. It was famous in a short time because easy to learn, based on procedural programming and not required any additional preparation.

Ant was having some issues in terms of, build time, performance and big scripts and other problems of developers.

Maven releases in 2004 which covers all the problems of Ant and having a complete life cycle.

See Also:

Maven vs Ant

Here are some main differences between Maven and Ant build tool.

Ant Maven
Ant required build script per project. Maven describes the project over configuration.
Ant invoke project-specific targets Maven invoke defined goals (target)
Ant is for “just” build process Maven required knowledge of the project.
Ant scripts are too complex. Maven creates standard project layout and builds in the lifecycle.
Ant scripts are not reusable. Maven plugins and repository are reusable.

Generally this error message shows in pom.xml when create new project with dependencies or add new dependencies in pom.xml.

Reason to cause this error

There are several reason to cause this error as below because maven is unable to connect to Maven repository at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2.

  1. Proxy
  2. Network issue
  3. .lastUpdate file for dependency

Could not transfer artifact org.springframework:spring-expression:jar:5.1.6.RELEASE from/to central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): C:\Users\saurabh.gupta1\.m2\repository\org

 specified) org.eclipse.aether.transfer.ArtifactTransferException:

Solutions

There are few ways i find out to resolve this issue:

Maven Force Update of Snapshot/Releases

Follow below steps to to resolve this issue and clear all dependencies error in eclipse.

  1. Right click on project.
  2. Go to Maven
  3. Update project , the check the above option “Force update of Snapshot/Releases“.
  4. Click on Ok.
  5. If not fixed restart your eclipse.

Maven Force Update 1

Maven Force Update 2

Maven access through Proxy

Update your proxy configuration in maven settings.xml file and put it inside .m2 folder

C:\Users\USER NAME.m2

proxy settings





 
    
      myproxy
      true
      http
      user name  
      password   
      127.56.8.64        
      80                 
      local.net|some.host.com

You don’t need to touch , and sections, unless you really know what are these tags.

After updating this setting restart eclipse and follow the steps in Maven Force update of Snapshot/Releases.

Remove .lastUpdated file

If this problem is not resolved yet got to .m2/repository/ to dependency sub directory and remove .lastUpdate file inside of it or delete complete directory for this particular dependency and again follow the steps in Maven Force update of Snapshot/Releases.

For Example as for above issue directory location showing in exception as

C:\Users\saurabh.gupta1.m2\repository\org
\springframework\spring-expression\5.1.6.RELEASE

Above solutions are my research to resolve this issue if you find out or know other ways please suggest in comments.

This maven exception occurs  when your Window/Unix environment variable for JAVA_HOME and PATH are pointing to JRE instead of JDK. That’s why maven will not compile code and throw below exception.

How to create Dynamic Web Application using Maven and Eclipse?

1 Comment

In this below example will show steps to create Dynamic Web Project using maven and import to eclipse.

Maven provide maven-archetype-webapp archetype artifact to create Dynamic Web based application from command prompt.

Pre-Requisite

Go to directory/ workspace where you want to create maven Java project. Below is command to create it.

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.{group}.app -DartifactId={App Name} -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -DinteractiveMode=false

Example :

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.facingissuesonit.app -DartifactId=TestMavenWebApp -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -DinteractiveMode=false

Because we are creating our first project with maven that’s why it will download lots of jars and dependency from maven repository.

How to add 3rd Party/Custom/External Jars to Maven Project?

Leave a comment

In below steps will show about to add 3rd party/custom/external Jars in local repository for use in our project builds because these jars doesn’t exist in Maven public repository and required to build project.

Pre-Requisite

To add these jars we can use below command to load in local repository (.m2/repository)

mvn install:install-file -Dfile= -DgroupId=
-DartifactId= -Dversion= -Dpackaging=

Example : Oracle is 3rd party and it’s jars are available in maven public repository. We can use below command to store in maven local repository and make entry in pom.xml to use it.

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=C:\\Workspace\\ojdbc6.jar -DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ojdbc6 -Dversion=11.2.0 -Dpackaging=jar

pom.xml entry for above oracle jar

Example :

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.facingissuesonit.app -DartifactId=test-app -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false

Because we are creating our first project with maven that’s why it will download lots of jars and dependency from maven repository.
