Maven failed to resolve dependencies - javax.activation

Question

I have a working maven web application which uses many jars. Trying to add javax.activation and do a mvn clean install fails.

I get \"Failed to execute goal on proje

Answer 1

The artifact you need is javax.activation:activation:jar:1.0.2 (pay attention to the jar part), while the artifact you have in your repo is javax.activation:activation:pom:1.0.2. Either place a jar one into your repo or add pom to your .
