Project build error: 'dependencies.dependency.version' for org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-eureka-server:jar is missing

Question

I am developing a code from https://www.dineshonjava.com/microservices-with-spring-boot/. When I update the spring-boot-starter-parent from 1.5.4.RELEASE to 2

Answer 1

Even I got the similar error when I was adding dependency for hystrix.

Error : Project build error: 'dependencies.dependency.version' for org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-hystrix:jar is missing

It worked after changing netflix <artifactId>

from: spring-cloud-starter-hystrix 
to:   spring-cloud-starter-netflix-hystrix

Answer 2

Add the following int the Pom.xml

<properties>
        <java.version>1.8</java.version>
         <spring-cloud.version>Greenwich.RELEASE</spring-cloud.version>
 </properties>

<dependencies>
<dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-webflux</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId>
        </dependency>

    </dependencies>

    <dependencyManagement>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
                <version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>
                <type>pom</type>
                <scope>import</scope>
            </dependency>
        </dependencies>
    </dependencyManagement>

Answer 3

1º) remove dependency from your pom.xml and save the file;

2º) Go to the STS project > right click > Spring > Edit Starters > search to Eureka Discovery Client and mark checkbok > OK.

This action solved my problem.

Answer 4

As indicated in my comment, some starters were renamed: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-cloud/wiki/Spring-Cloud-Edgware-Release-Notes

A number of starters did not follow normal Spring Cloud naming conventions. In Edgware, use of the deprecated starter will log a warning with the name of the new starter to use in its place.

So change: spring-cloud-starter-eureka-server to spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-server.

Answer 5

After setting the version:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>

the error disappeared. Probably not the best solution for production.

Answer 6

There are a couple of things here. I was trying to create the Eureka server and I faced a couple of problems.

First things

If you are using spring-cloud-starter-eureka-server then change it to spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-server.

The link will give the details of the changes. https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-cloud/wiki/Spring-Cloud-Edgware-Release-Notes

I recently created the starter project from https://start.spring.io/ and it has the latest changes in pom.xml

This is how it looks like

<dependency>
 <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
 <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependency>
 <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
 <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-server</artifactId>
</dependency>

You need to make sure that the eureka server dependency version is correct. You can make sure by adding <spring-cloud.version>Greenwich.RELEASE</spring-cloud.version> in properties tag and ${spring-cloud.version} in dependencyManagement's version tag

If you do not see the <dependencyManagement> tag then add the whole dependency in your pom.xml

<properties>
    <java.version>1.8</java.version>
     <spring-cloud.version>Greenwich.RELEASE</spring-cloud.version>
 </properties>

	<dependencyManagement>
		<dependencies>
			<dependency>
				<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
				<artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
				<version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>
				<type>pom</type>
				<scope>import</scope>
			</dependency>
		</dependencies>
	</dependencyManagement>

I hope it helps.
