Error: ArtifactTransferException on configuring POM.xml file.

[Abhishek]

Hi ,

I am getting an ArtifactTransferException after creating POM.xml file. Snapshot attached



Also attaching the stack trace MavenError.txt


Can anyone help me out with this issue.

also attaching pom.xmlpom.xml

Also, could you tell me what does source and target fields specify and how to set their values.


e.g.
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>3.1</version>
  <configuration>
  <source>1.5</source>
  <target>1.5</target>
  </configuration>

guys... I have found a solution this and it goes like this :

Steps to resolve:

1. Open folder by running this text (without Quotes) in Search Explorer of Window “%USERPROFILE%\.m2″.
2. After running above command, “m2″ folder of maven will open. Now search for file (without Quotes) “*.lastUpdated”.
3. In this step, delete all the files found by running Step 2.
4. Now go to Eclipse project and select “Maven | Update Dependency” or “Maven | Update Project”.

It will be my pleasure if I can contribute to this forum in any manner..

But I could not figure out what does source and target fields specify and how to set their values.

e.g.
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>3.1</version>
  <configuration>
  <source>1.5</source>
  <target>1.5</target>
  </configuration> 

Please help...

This is used to compile the source of project, and here it is 1.5.
Also, compiled classes would be compatible to 1.5 since target is set to 1.5 too
