[Solved]-"The POM for ... is missing, no dependency information available" even though it exists in Maven Repository-eclipse

In my case I was using Jade and I was using HTTP repository URL. Changing the Url to HTTPS worked for me.

In my case the reason was since the remote repo artifact (non-central) had dependencies from the Maven Central in the .pom file, and the older version of mvn (older than 3.6.0) was used. So, it tried to check the Maven Central artifacts mentioned in the remote repo's .pom for the specific artifact I've added to my dependencies and faced the Maven Central http access issue behind the scenes (I believe the same as described there: Maven dependencies are failing with a 501 error - that is about using https access to Maven Central by default and prohibiting the http access).

Using more recent Maven (from 3.1 to 3.6.0) made it use https to check Maven Central repo dependencies mentioned in the .pom files of the remote repositories and I no longer face the issue.

Could also be you have enabled: Work offline. In the intellij Maven -> Importing settings.

This was the case for me, I forgot I had this setting enabled.

I had the same error but not in the same use case. For me i use a multi modules project. But i use mvn clean package to compile some maven module, in other maven module it display the same error. My solution is that i should use mvn clean install instead of mvn clean package

package: will compile your code and also package it. For example, if your pom says the project is a jar, it will create a jar for you when you package it and put it somewhere in the target directory (by default).

install: will compile and package, but it will also put the package in your local repository. This will make it so other projects can refer to it and grab it from your local repository.

Search in the repository like https://search.maven.org/ that which version of the package is available.

In some cases, the latest version may not be available in the repo.

This is my solution, may be it can helps I use IntelliJ IDE. File -> Setting -> Maven -> Importing change JDK for importer to 1.8( you can change to lower, higher)

If the POM missing warning is of project's self module, the reason is that you are trying to mistakenly build from a sub-module directory. You need to run the build and install command from root directory of the project.

Another option that can help is to reload the dependencies with

mvn dependency:resolve -U

You will need to add external Repository to your pom, since this is using Mulsoft-Release repository not Maven Central

<project>
   ...
    <repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>mulesoft-releases</id>
            <name>MuleSoft Repository</name>
            <url>http://repository.mulesoft.org/releases/</url>
            <layout>default</layout>
        </repository>
    </repositories>
  ...
</project>

Apache Maven - Setting up Multiple Repositories

Problem is not with the jar file. Maven is unable to fetch the correct meta data.

Delete the _maven.repositories or _remote.repositories (one of those files will be there) file and build again. Files are located in .m2/repository/path/to/your/repo/

I had a similar problem quite recently. In my case:

1. I downloaded an artifact from some less popular Maven repo

2. This repo dissappeared over this year

3. Now builds fail, even if I have this artifact and its pom.xml in my local repo

Workaround:

delete _remote.repositories file in your local repo, where this artifact resides. Now the project builds.
