Could not find artifact javax.sql:jdbc-stdext:jar:

Question

I'm trying to build a REST API of web Services I created for my project. My web services are working without problems.

Now, I want to Deploy my Services on a distant server and I need to generate the war file.

I'm using Java, Eclipse and Maven for dependencies. I tried to make a clean install and the only problem of failure is that :

[WARNING] The artifact jdbc:jdbc:jar:2.0 has been relocated to javax.sql:jdbc-stdext:jar:2.0
[INFO] Downloading: https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/javax/sql/jdbc-stdext/2.0/jdbc-stdext-2.0.jar
Could not find artifact javax.sql:jdbc-stdext:jar:2.0 in central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2), try downloading from http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/download.html

Anyone has a solution ?

P.S : Why i didn't face the problem while testing is because I added the jdbc-stdext-2.0.jar manually and now I'm in troubles.

Answer 1

I believe this is because you listed the artifact as an exclusion in your pom. i.e

<exclusions>
    <exclusion>
        <artifactId>jdbc-stdext</artifactId>
        <groupId>javax.sql</groupId>
    </exclusion>
</exclusions>

I think if you remove this block you will be fine

Answer 2

You experience the problem because you are including artifacts that have only source packages available. The maven dependency for jdbc.jdbc is referenced as a binary.

Most probably you don't need to include that dependency because those interfaces are provided by the JEE containers that you run your WAR archive in. I would recommend removing the jdbc artifact with the exlusion part entirely.

You can browse as what is available at jdbc/jdbc folder at Maven Central. And indeed the extension for it has removed under javax/sql at Maven Central.
