Why can't I resolve the dependencies for GeoTo

Question

POM is

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

    <groupId>org.geotools</groupId>
    <artifactId>tutorial</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <packaging>jar</packaging>

    <url>http://maven.apache.org</url>

    <properties>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>

    </dependencies>

            <url>http://download.osgeo.org/webdav/geotools/</url>
        </repository>
    </repositories>
</project>

I get the error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project tutorial: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.geotools:tutorial:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT: The following artifacts could not be resolved: org.geotools:gt-shapefile:jar:10-SNAPSHOT, org.geotools:gt-swing:jar:10-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact org.geotools:gt-shapefile:jar:10-SNAPSHOT in maven2- repository.dev.java.net (http://download.java.net/maven/2) -> [Help 1]

Why can't it resolve the artifacts. GeoTools has other instructions (which I can't get to work) but I'd like to know whats wrong with this.

Thanks

The issue occurs because the org.geotools:gt-shapefile:jar:10-SNAPSHOT does not exist at either http://download.java.net/maven/2 or http://download.osgeo.org/webdav/geotools. All you have to do is define the snapshot repository for the GeoTools as it is mentioned at the GeoTools:Maven Quick Start as the following: -

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>maven2-repository.dev.java.net</id>
        <name>Java.net repository</name>
        <url>http://download.java.net/maven/2</url>
    </repository>
    <repository>
        <id>osgeo</id>
        <name>Open Source Geospatial Foundation Repository</name>
        <url>http://download.osgeo.org/webdav/geotools/</url>
    </repository>
    <repository> <!--Add the snapshot repository here-->
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
        </snapshots>
        <id>opengeo</id>
        <name>OpenGeo Maven Repository</name>
        <url>http://repo.opengeo.org</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

I hope this may help.

You should add Boundless repository and write https indtead of http:

<repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>maven2-repository.dev.java.net</id>
            <name>Java.net repository</name>
            <url>http://download.java.net/maven/2</url>
        </repository>
        <repository>
            <id>osgeo</id>
            <name>Open Source Geospatial Foundation Repository</name>
            <url>https://download.osgeo.org/webdav/geotools/</url>
        </repository>
        <repository>
            <snapshots>
                <enabled>true</enabled>
            </snapshots>
            <id>boundless</id>
            <name>Boundless Maven Repository</name>
            <url>https://repo.boundlessgeo.com/main/</url>
        </repository>
    </repositories>

It will make the things work.

http://download.java.net/maven/2 repository is gone

New updates, New way to add geotools dependency in your project, copy below xml file in your build.xml

<properties>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <geotools.version>19-SNAPSHOT</geotools.version>
    </properties>

<dependencies>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.opencsv</groupId>
            <artifactId>opencsv</artifactId>
            <version>3.3</version>
        </dependency>


        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.geotools</groupId>
            <artifactId>gt-shapefile</artifactId>
            <version>${geotools.version}</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>junit</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
            <version>4.11</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.geotools</groupId>
            <artifactId>gt-swing</artifactId>
            <version>${geotools.version}</version>
        </dependency>

    </dependencies>

<repositories>

        <repository>
            <id>osgeo</id>
            <name>Open Source Geospatial Foundation Repository</name>
            <url>http://download.osgeo.org/webdav/geotools/</url>
        </repository>
        <repository>
            <snapshots>
                <enabled>true</enabled>
            </snapshots>
            <id>boundless</id>
            <name>Boundless Maven Repository</name>
            <url>http://repo.boundlessgeo.com/main</url>
        </repository>
    </repositories>

It works
