Maven Failed to Find dependency

Question

I am using Maven Version 3.1.1. And I am trying to compile with dependency springs-ws. I see that this should exist in Maven via the following sites:
Maven Repository
Maven Search

Here is the Stack Trace from a "mvn compile -e":

UPDATE 2:
After deleting the existing repository, and rerunning mvn compile. I still get the error.

Answer 1

Look for your settings.xml file which is what maven uses to find your repositories. See what repo it's pointing to and examine that repo to make sure the jars you want exist there.

For example

<profiles>
    <profile>
        <id>default</id>
        <repositories>
            <repository>
                <id>smss-group-m2</id>
                <url>http://repo.mycompany.net/nexus/content/groups/smss-group-m2/</url>
                <releases>
                    <updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>
                </releases>
            <repository>
        </repository>
    </profile>
</profiles>

Answer 2

Looking at The Central Repository

If you do a search for spring-ws you'll see that there is only a pom file available for download for what you precisely specified in your pom.xml.

Looks like you might want to use spring-ws-core like so:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.ws</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-ws-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.4.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Answer 3

In the settings.xml file make sure you paste same url of nexus or jfrog repo when you login, whatever url appear on top paste that same

ex:https://artifactory.xxxx/artifactory/webapp/#/home

Answer 4

I don't know if there's a more "regular" way to do this: go to your local maven repository, cd to the directory where that dependency is supposed to be and delete all files (you could even delete the whole org/sprimgframework/ws) then relaunch mvn. It will try to reload all missing dependency.
