Error: ArtifactRepository cannot be instantiated

[Nicolas Raoul]

Hello all,

Newbie question: I am trying to deploy an AMP. I did not write any
code of mine yet, but I already get an error.
Here is what I did:

1) As per the wiki I ran the following:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.sourcesense.alfresco -
DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-alfresco-amp-archetype -
DarchetypeVersion=1.9.1 -DgroupId=com.mycompany -DartifactId=myamp -
Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -DarchetypeRepository=http://maven.alfresco.com/
nexus/content/repositories/releases -DinteractiveMode=false

2) I edited pom.xml to set the project's version to 0.1 instead of 0.1-
SNAPSHOT

3) I ran mvn install, it worked.

4) I ran mvn deploy, and the following error appeared:

[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] Failed to configure plugin parameters for:
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:2.4
check that the following section of the pom.xml is present and
correct:
<distributionManagement>
<!-- use the following if you're not using a snapshot version. -->
<repository>
<id>repo</id>
<name>Repository Name</name>
<url>scp://host/path/to/repo</url>
</repository>
<!-- use the following if you ARE using a snapshot version. -->
<snapshotRepository>
<id>repo</id>
<name>Repository Name</name>
<url>scp://host/path/to/repo</url>
</snapshotRepository>
</distributionManagement>
Cause: Class 'org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.ArtifactRepository'
cannot be instantiated

Is it normal?
Are the wiki instructions up-to-date?

Did I miss something?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Nicolas,

What do you actually mean with "deploy"? If you're trying to *install* the AMP into an Alfresco instance, than you either

* create a repository extension project[1] with a <dependency> set in its POM pointing to your AMP

* use the MMT[2] to install the .amp file created under the target folder of your AMP project into a pre-existing Alfresco instance

If, OTOH, you want to make your maven artifact available to others, than you should follow the error description and update your POM. But I don't think that this is your case, correct me if I'm wrong.

The `mvn deploy` command is used to upload the maven artifact created by your project to a (remote) maven repository, like `mvn install` copies it into your local maven repository, while the "maven" way the AMP are installed into Alfresco instances is by the means of a maven dependency.

Hope this helps,

c.

Ciao Nicolas,
and welcome to the Maven Alfresco community!
Check my answers below:

Well, did you configure a remote repository to deploy to? Be aware that in Maven "deploy" means "distribute the product of the build to a remote Maven repository", which must be configured in the pom.xml exaclty as the error message shows [1]. My archetypes of course do not include a repository declaration in <distributionManagement> because that's really specific to the environment you're working in (e.g. your company, your organization, etc.).

 

Are the wiki instructions up-to-date?

Instructions are definitely up to date, so I guess that if you miss something is around Maven :)

Hope I was clear, LMK if you need more info.

Ciao!
