Missing artifact error for provided scope dependecy in maven 3.1.0

Question

I have a dependency with scope provided in pom.xml file. But m2e give Missing artifact error

<dependency>  
   <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>  
   <artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId>  
   <version>11.2.0.3</version>  
   <scope>provided</scope>  
</dependency>`

Why is it so ? I have 4 more dependencies with provided scope all are having same error.

Answer 1

ojdbc6 is not available in maven repository, install it locally. This is required even if with scope provided.

mvn install:install-file -Dfile={Path/to/your/ojdbc.jar} -DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ojdbc6 -Dversion=11.2.0.3 -Dpackaging=jar

Answer 2

As MariuszS already mentioned an other alterative would be to use a repository manager and install it there.
