This is informational more than a query.

I was trying to build the latest neo4j-spatial from the git master, following the readme instructions:

git clone https://github.com/neo4j/spatial.git
cd spatial
mvn clean package

My maven repository was clean (deleted it to be sure), and I have no local maven configuration

But I got strange errors in a dependency during the build:

Downloading: http://maven.glassfish.org/content/groups/glassfish/net/java/jvnet-parent/1/jvnet-parent-1.pom
185b downloaded (jvnet-parent-1.pom)

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Error building POM (may not be this project's POM).

Project ID: com.sun.jersey:jersey-project:pom:1.9

Reason: Cannot find parent: net.java:jvnet-parent for project: com.sun.jersey:jersey-project:pom:1.9 for project com.sun.jersey:jersey-project:pom:1.9

It turns out that the maven repository at http://maven.glassfish.org redirects to https://, which then tries to authenticate with a certificate that is valid only for the domain "maven.java.net".

This causes the jvnet-parent-1.pom to be saved in the repository to be the raw html page for the original 301: Moved used to redirect from http to https

I "fixed" the problem by disabling maven.glassfish.net in my hosts file, but there may well be a way of either [link: deactivating that repo in maven configuration] or adding an exception to the certificate handling (?) .

Thought someone might benefit from the info.

Regards,
Jonathan

Hi,

this is probably caused by a but in Maven [1].

One solution is to either downgrade to 2.2.0 or upgrade to 3.0x. After down-/upgrading, you have to clear your local Maven-Repo (rm -rf ~/.m2/repository/*) because some files are probably be broken, and try again.

That did the trick for me.

Cheers
Axel

I'm not sure it would belong in our POM, since the repository isn't added by neo4j-spatial, but by com.sun.jersey:jersey-client (in reality, com.sun.jersey:jersey-project, it's parent)

In any case, I tried, and failed to disable the repository in the POM with:

    <repository>
        <id>glassfish-repository</id>
        <name>Repository for Glassfish</name>
        <url>http://maven.glassfish.org/content/groups/glassfish</url>
        <releases>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
        </releases>
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
        </snapshots>
    </repository>

I did manage to use the settings.xml though:

<settings>
<mirrors>
    <mirror>
      <id>hide-glassfish</id>
      <name>Hide Glassfish</name>
      <url>http://repo1.maven.org</url>
      <mirrorOf>glassfish-repository</mirrorOf>
    </mirror>
</mirrors>

</settings>

Cheers,
Jonathan
