Missing dependancy information for jdbc.artifact.groupid:jdbc-driver:jar:1.0

Question

I am trying to use hbm2java maven plugins for hibernate. For mvn hibernate3:hbm2cfgxml goal I am facing following error.

I have added following plugin configuration in POM.xml to use hbm2java capabilities.

<build>
<plugins>
  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate3-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.2</version>
    <configuration>
      <components>
        <component>

        <artifactId>jdbc-driver</artifactId>
        <version>1.0</version>
      </dependency>
    </dependencies>
  </plugin>
</plugins>

Where would I find jdbc.artifact.groupid and what is missing in my pom.xml?

Answer 1

You must replace jdbc.artifact.groupid:jdbc-driver:1.0 by a real vendor artifact. For instance

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hsqldb</groupId>
    <artifactId>hsqldb</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.8</version>
</dependency>

if you use hsqldb.

EDIT

As you mention you use Oracle in your comment... The jdbc jar for Oracle db is provided with your Oracle distribution. You can also download it here.Once downloaded you will have to put it manually in your local maven repo (you can also store it in the thirparty repo of you Maven Repo Manager if you have one (Nexus, Archiva...). An other way is to add the dependency by using the systemPath declaration :

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.oracle.jdbc</groupId>
   <artifactId>ojdbc6_g</artifactId>
   <version>11.2.0.2.0</version>
   <systemPath>"C:/ThirpartyJars/Oracle/ojdbc6_g.jar"</systemPath>
</dependency>

Answer 2

Replace your dependency

   <dependency>
    <groupId>jdbc.artifact.groupid</groupId>
    <artifactId>jdbc-driver</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
  </dependency>

to

   <dependency>
     <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
        <artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId>
         <version>11.2.0</version>
   </dependency>
