Maven - Transitive dependencies are not resolved for artifact deployed on Artifactory

Question

I have two projects - A and B, where A is dependent on B. I package B as jar and deploy it on a maven server (artifactory), and then include that jar as a normal dependency

Answer 1

To successfully resolve transitive dependencies, project B's jar and pom.xml must be accessible in the Maven repository. When deploying artifacts to a remote repository, be sure both the jar and pom.xml are deployed and available for download.

With the requisite files deployed to the remote repository, use the command line to build project A. Specify a build Maven target to trigger the downloading of all dependencies into the local Maven repository. Something like mvn compile or mvn package will trigger the downloads and successfully build project A.

Once, project B's jar and pom.xml are in the local Maven repository, update the Maven projects in Eclipse and they will rebuild and resolve the dependencies correctly.
