Hi, You're not incompetent - rather, we're in the middle of attempting to do our first release as a top-level-project, using some new Maven conventions and tooling, so the trunk is not always in a buildable state. When we get better at releasing, I think we'll not have these problems :-)...
The Dictionary Annotator in trunk is specifying the "1-SNAPSHOT" version of the common UIMA "parent-pom". Maven is complaining that this artifact cannot be found. To fix this: you have to get this artifact into your local .m2 Maven repository. There are many ways to do this. You could download them from the Apache Maven SNAPSHOT repository, or you could set up your settings.xml Maven file to specify the Apache Maven SNAPSHOT repo, which would cause Maven to find and download this artifact, itself, to your local repo. You might think you could download the build tooling and build them, but that would not quite work at the moment - because the build tooling is in the middle of a release attempt, and the trunk has already been advanced to the 2-SNAPSHOT version (although we haven't yet voted the release out.) The common Apache SNAPSHOT repository (seehttp://www.apache.org/dev/repository-faq.html ) is at http://repository.apache.org ; you can see the SNAPSHOT artifacts there by clicking in the left-side navigation bar on Repositories -> Snapshots to navigate to org -> apache -> .uima -> parent-pom -> 1-SNAPSHOT to find snapshots of this artifact. If you download this you have to go thru some renaming - these are stored with a timestamp in the name when in the repository. The easier (?) way to do this is to configure your Maven settings.xml file (see http://maven.apache.org/settings.html ), with the following stanzas: <repositories> <repository> <id>apache-nexus-snapshot</id> <url>https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots-group/</url> </repository> </repositories> <pluginRepositories> <pluginRepository> <id>apache-nexus-plugin-snapshot</id> <url>https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots-group/</url> </pluginRepository> </pluginRepositories> Post again if this isn't quite sufficient to get you going :-) -Marshall Schor On 11/12/2010 8:53 AM, Kodo wrote: > Hi! > > I'm a newbie to this so please try to ignore my incompetence:-) > > I have the following: > Version: Helios Service Release 1, Build id: 20100917-0705 > Maven2Eclipse plugin installed > Checked out trunk of > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/uima/sandbox/trunk/DictionaryAnnotator > > When I try to import the trunk above into Eclipse using the m2e plugin I get > the following error: > > 2010-11-12 14:39:43 CET: Failed to read Maven project > 2010-11-12 14:39:43 CET: org.apache.maven.project.ProjectBuildingException: 1 > problem was encountered while building the effective model for > org.apache.uima:DictionaryAnnotator:2.3.1-SNAPSHOT > [FATAL] Non-resolvable parent POM org.apache.uima:parent-pom:1-SNAPSHOT for > org.apache.uima:DictionaryAnnotator:2.3.1-SNAPSHOT: Failed to resolve POM for > org.apache.uima:parent-pom:1-SNAPSHOT due to Missing: > ---------- > 1) org.apache.uima:parent-pom:pom:1-SNAPSHOT > ---------- > 1 required artifact is missing. > > for artifact: > org.apache.uima:parent-pom:pom:1-SNAPSHOT > > from the specified remote repositories: > central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2, releases=true, snapshots=false) > @ org.apache.uima:DictionaryAnnotator:2.3.1-SNAPSHOT, C:\...\apache- > uima\trunk\DictionaryAnnotator\pom.xml > for project org.apache.uima:DictionaryAnnotator:2.3.1-SNAPSHOT at > C:\...\apache-uima\trunk\DictionaryAnnotator\pom.xml > > Obviously I miss something here, but what? > > Many thanks in advance > /Peter > > >
