Finding missing Maven artifacts

Question

I\'m new to Maven, and struggling with adding dependencies. I\'m trying to convert an existing project to Maven, and after adding the dependencies for all the jars in my ref

Answer 1

Thanks to everyone for responding. The actual cause of the problem is that for each of those 3 missing artifacts, for some reason, when Maven downloaded them into my local repository, .lastUpdated was appended to the end of the jar. For example, stax-1.0.jar.lastUpdated. This is the reason Maven could not find stax-1.0.jar.

So, to fix this problem, I had to manually download stax-1.0.jar, then install it into the local maven repository in the exact same place as the messed up file, so that Maven could find it. (For example, using the command:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=/stax-1.0.jar         
-DgroupId=stax -DartifactId=stax -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar

Using the same exact groupId and artifactId as the existing, incorrect file was crucial in order for maven to find it.
