How to download software dependencies in Maven 2?

I am very new in using Maven. Appreciate if anyone can give me some helps.

I want to build a plugin for JIRA. I have installed Atlassian Plugin SDK which comes with Maven 2 (pre-bundled together).

In my Java source codes, I want to import these packages from Atlassian repository:

import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User;
import com.atlassian.jira.rpc.exception.*;
import com.atlassian.jira.rpc.auth.*;
import com.atlassian.jira.rpc.soap.beans.*;
import com.atlassian.jira.rpc.soap.service.*;
import com.atlassian.jira.rpc.soap.util.*;
import com.atlassian.jira.rpc.soap.JiraSoapServiceImpl;
import com.atlassian.jira.soap.axis.JiraSoapTokenResolver;
import org.apache.axis.encoding.Base64;

I have tried to use Maven to build another example plugin from Atlassian. I found that Maven is able to download all necessary dependencies packages from the repository and build the application without any problems.

However, when I use Maven to build my own plugin, it failed to download the dependencies from Atlassian repository. It shows the following error messages:

...
xxxxx.java:[x,x] package com.atlassian.jira.rpc.exception does not exist
xxxxx.java:[x,x] package com.atlassian.jira.rpc.auth does not exist
xxxxx.java:[x,x] package com.atlassian.jira.rpc.soap.beans does not exist
xxxxx.java:[x,x] package com.atlassian.jira.rpc.soap.service does not exist
xxxxx.java:[x,x] package com.atlassian.jira.rpc.soap.util does not exist
xxxxx.java:[x,x] package com.atlassian.jira.rpc.soap does not exist
...

xxxxx.java:[x,x] cannot find symbol
symbol: class JiraSoapService
...

In my pom.xml, I have included these:

<dependency>
<groupId>com.atlassian.jira</groupId>
<artifactId>atlassian-jira</artifactId>
<version>${jira.version}</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

In the Maven settings.xml file, I can see these repositories (default settings.xml in Maven 2 which is pre-bundled with Atlassian Plugin SDK installation):

<repositories>
<repository>
<id>atlassian-public</id>
<url>https://m2proxy.atlassian.com/repository/public</url>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<updatePolicy>daily</updatePolicy>
<checksumPolicy>warn</checksumPolicy>
</snapshots>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<checksumPolicy>warn</checksumPolicy>
</releases>
</repository>
<repository>
<id>atlassian-plugin-sdk</id>
<url>file://${env.ATLAS_HOME}/repository</url>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<checksumPolicy>warn</checksumPolicy>
</releases>
</repository>
</repositories>

<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>atlassian-public</id>
<url>https://m2proxy.atlassian.com/repository/public</url>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<checksumPolicy>warn</checksumPolicy>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<checksumPolicy>warn</checksumPolicy>
</snapshots>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>

I have spent a long time to compare my pom.xml with other JIRA plugin's pom.xml. But i still don't understand how to ask Maven to download JIRA packages from Atlassian repository.

Can anyone give me some helps? Thanks.

Your code is not compiling because the packages you are including are not contained in the atlassian-jira JAR. It looks like you will need at least the following additional dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>atlassian-jira-rpc-plugin</groupId>
  <artifactId>atlassian-jira-rpc-plugin</artifactId>
</dependency>

But I could not find it in the JIRA repo. You might have to Google to find out what repository its in (or install it manually, locally).

EDIT

To install a JAR into your repository you can use the following command:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file> -DgroupId=<group-id> \
    -DartifactId=<artifact-id> -Dversion=<version> -Dpackaging=<packaging>
