Where did the EclipseLink/Maven repository go to?

Question

The link quoted on the EclipseLink/Maven wiki ends on an Error 403 page on switch.ch. If you are redirected to a better mirror then that would already be the answer.

Answer 1

The only link I see is:

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?r=1&nf=1&file=/rt/eclipselink/maven.repo

and it seems to works just fine, redirecting it to

http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/eclipse/rt/eclipselink/maven.repo/

Answer 2

The URL from that page

• http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?r=1&nf=1&file=/rt/eclipselink/maven.repo

works for me and redirects to

• http://eclipse.ialto.org/rt/eclipselink/maven.repo/

However, inside a pom.xml, I had to escape the &:

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>eclipselink</id>
      <url>http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?r=1&amp;nf=1&amp;file=/rt/eclipselink/maven.repo/</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>

Answer 3

The following configuration in ivy-setting.xml worked fine for me guys:

<resolvers>
  <url name="eclipselink" m2compatible="true">
    <artifact pattern="http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/eclipse/rt/eclipselink/maven.repo/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]"/>
  </url>
</resolvers>

Answer 4

Just faced the same problem today. It appears that the URL provided on their Maven wiki page http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Maven works. But it works in a weird way: their repository is not indexed so if you try just to add this into pom.xml:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>EclipseLink Repo</id>
        <url>http://download.eclipse.org/rt/eclipselink/maven.repo</url>
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
        </snapshots>
    </repository>
</repositories>

and then try to index the repository it will tell you Unable to update index for EclipseLink Repo|http://download.eclipse.org/rt/eclipselink/maven.repo.

But if you also include into the pom.xml this:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
        <artifactId>eclipselink</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.0</version>
        <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

it will do the work and add the dependency. Not ideal but works.

Answer 5

All broken. I get 404s everywhere. And the Nexus instance has not indexed the latest releases. Thank you very much for chaotic distribution managment (the project should really be relocated to Apache)

However, manual digging lead to:

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.persistence</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.2</version>
    <scope>compile</scope>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>
<repositories>
  <repository>
     <id>EclipseLink Repo</id>
     <url>http://maven.eclipse.org/nexus/service/local/repositories/Sonatype/content</url>
  </repository>
</repositories>

Again, this is not working 100% perfectly because Maven is not able to find dependency information.

Hmmm... maybe I should think again before using software that is obviously maintained in such an amateurish manner.

Answer 6

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.persistence</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.0</version>
    <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

...

<repository>
    <id>EclipseLink Repo</id>
    <url>http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2</url>
</repository>
