artifacts

I've just recently started doing Java development and I picked up Maven2 for dependency management and project task automation. One peculiar issue I've stumbled upon, that I haven't been able to fully understand, is that for certain artifacts you need to configure exclusions for their dependencies, otherwise you get a Maven Missing artifact groupId:artifactId:version:lifecycle error. I've tried creating a Spring MVC project from the supplied STS Spring project templates and the Maven POM contained exclusions for log4j , which, when removed, would produce an error. So what do I do when I

I am trying to pass in the channel configuration transaction artifact to the order-er using the command: peer channel create -o orderer.example.com:7050 -c $CHANNEL_NAME -f ./channel-artifacts/channel.tx --tls --cafile /opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp/tlscacerts/tlsca.example.com-cert.pem But I get an error: 2018-03-17 20:55:21.380 GMT [main] main -> ERRO 001 Fatal error when initializing core config : error when reading core config file: Unsupported Config Type "" What does this error mean? and how can

[Edit: I've made a minimal project to try to narrow down what's going on. The code at the bottom still generates the same artifacts when saved] I have an app that draws simple 2D geometry using Paths. The shapes are all solid colors, sometimes with alpha < 255, and may be decorated with lines. In the View that draws the geometry, there has never been an issue with how things get drawn. However, when I use the same code to draw to a Bitmap, and then save it as either a JPEG (with 100 quality) or PNG, there is always the same artifacting in the solid-colored areas of the output files. It's a

In my project, there are a number of dependencies that are transitively included from other dependencies that do not have pom.xml files available in any of our corporate repositories. These are internal jar-only libraries supported by various teams which have been uploaded into repositories for convenience from non-Maven teams, however these repositories are unfortunately not mine to play with. For these dependencies, Maven insists on trying to retrieve the poms from each of my repository list every time I run a build, or mvn dependency:list . This means maven tries to retrieve 8x pom files

I have cloud servers located in separate data centers across the world. Each data center is separate from the others. I'm looking for an easy way to deploy artifacts to individual clusters of servers (that may be running different versions of software i.e. a dev, test, and production cluster) in each of these regions with ease and consistency. It seems to me that an artifact server is what I need because I could execute an install script on the cloud server, which pulls down the correct software artifact. Now, I work on the operations side. I don't care about doing builds, or managing software
