How to use google-api-services-datastore-protobuf with SBT or Maven?

Question

I'm trying to use google-api-services-datastore-protobuf (see https://developers.google.com/datastore/docs/downloads) with SBT, but it gave me these errors:

[warn] io problem while parsing ivy file: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/google/apis/google-api-services-datastore-protobuf/v1beta1-rev1-1.0.0-rc1/google-api-services-datastore-protobuf-v1beta1-rev1-1.0.0-rc1.pom: Impossible to load parent for file:/Applications/play-2.1.1/framework/../repository/cache/com.google.apis/google-api-services-datastore-protobuf/ivy-v1beta1-rev1-1.0.0-rc1.xml.original. Parent=com.google.apis#google-api-services-datastore-protobuf-parent;v1beta1-rev1-1.0.0-rc1
[warn]  module not found: com.google.apis#google-api-services-datastore-protobuf;v1beta1-rev1-1.0.0-rc1

I'm not very familiar with SBT yet so I also tried it with maven but I got similar results:

Failed to read artifact descriptor for com.google.apis:google-api-services-datastore-protobuf:jar:v1beta1-rev2-1.0.1: Could not find artifact com.google.apis:google-api-services-datastore-protobuf-parent:pom:v1beta1-rev2-1.0.1 in central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2)

It looks like the parent pom is missing or something. Is there a way to work around it or to ignore the missing parent?

Answer 1

The parent pom was indeed missing, but this is fixed now.
