Failed to Read Artifact Descriptor: IntelliJ

Question

I am running into an issue with my Maven POM file where its unable to find spark dependency and is returning with error: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.spark:spark-streaming-kafka_2.10:jar:1.2.1

I've confirmed its not an issue with any corporate firewall as every other dependency is loaded in properly, just this one.

I have also been able to confirm in my maven settings it is attempting to pull from the following repo. I tried deleting the .m2 repo on my local machine in order to reload it, still no dice.

http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/spark/spark-streaming-kafka_2.10/1.2.1/

Attached below is my pom file

Answer 1

In Intellij, I had the same issue,

I did the proxy settings also, and ran the command mvn –U clean install but it's not working.

I got its resolved with the below setting enabled (highlighted in yellow)

In Intellij, go to File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployments -> Maven Check the box, ‘Always update snapshots’

Answer 2

I guess IntelliJ comes with and ambedded Maven installation, so just make sure your IDE is pointing to the right Maven home directory: and User settings file: values, these are under:

• Go to File
• Select Settings
• Select Build, Execution, Deployments
• Select Build Tools from drop down
• Select Maven from drop down

Answer 3

Go to file => Settings => Build, Execution, Deployment => Maven => Maven home directory: change from Bundled (Maven 3) to Bundled (Maven 2)

Answer 4

I had to just solve the issue. Please, go in the Maven tab of the Build, Execution, Deployments and set to the settings provided.

Answer 5

In my case, it was proxy related problem. I am highlighting few of areas where you may need to verify and correct the same.

1. Intellij proxy settings from preference window
2. maven settings.xml entry from your ~/.m2/settings.xml or /usr/local/Cellar/maven//libexec/conf/settings.xml
3. System proxy

Hope this will help.

Answer 6

Resolved it, was due to a proxy setting that was enabled. Re-ran with mvn -U clean install and all was repaired.
