Maven not using configured repositories to resolve all dependencies

Question

Hello I am trying to build a jar using maven behind a corporate proxy with our own artifactory server.

We are building using docker gitlab runners and I am using the maven:3-jdk-8 image which is running Apache Maven 3.5.4.

The build starts fine by downloading the dependencies from our artifactory but when the maven-assembly-plugin tries to package our output into a jar I get the following error in debug mode:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:2.2.1:single (package-jar-with-dependencies) on project <my-project>: Failed to create assembly: Unable to resolve dependencies for assembly 'jar-with-dependencies': Failed to resolve dependencies for assembly: Unable to get dependency information for org.hibernate.validator:hibernate-validator:jar:6.0.13.Final: Failed to process POM for org.hibernate.validator:hibernate-validator:jar:6.0.13.Final: Non-resolvable import POM: Could not transfer artifact org.jboss.shrinkwrap:shrinkwrap-bom:pom:1.2.3 from/to central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): repo.maven.apache.org: Name or service not known

[ERROR]     2) org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:jar:2.1.0.RELEASE: Unknown host repo.maven.apache.org: Name or service not known
[ERROR] -> [Help 1]
org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:2.2.1:single (package-jar-with-dependencies) on project <my-project>: Failed to create assembly: Unable to resolve dependencies for assembly 'jar-with-dependencies'

The glaring issue would seem to be that maven is trying to retrieve hibernate-validator from repo.maven.apache.org rather than my local corporate artifactory.

I have verified that the jar in question does indeed exist in my artifactory. I have built the project locally (outside of docker maven version 3.6.1 bundled with Intellij) with identical settings and didn't have any problems.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

It is very likely that this is the result of a missing mirror configuration in the settings.xml.

If you want to send every request to your artifactory, you need to specify it as a mirror. Otherwise, repository definitions from POMs may be used as well.
