Maven dependency issues with cassandra-all_1.2.2

Question

I am working with Maven project and I am trying to resolve some of the dependency issues with cassandra-all_1.2.2. I am using Astyanax client with Cassandra and as soon as I am adding all the dependencies and starting my server. I always get below exception-

Can anybody help me with this? Is there anything wrong I am doing? Any suggestions will be of great help in solving this issue. I am stuck on this problem from a long time and still not able to figure out the root cause.

Answer 1

Under normal circumstances Maven should be able to resolve that dependencies from the central repositories. I am guessing your ~/.m2/settings.xml has a mirror configuration to proxy Maven central repository into a local company nexus server and those dependencies are missing (Nexus not updating maybe?).

Normally the solution for this is either:

1. Get your Nexus admin to check and fix the mirroring problem if any
2. Bypass your company nexus and go straight to the internet (Update your ~/.m2/settings.xml)
