Look at your project "pom.xml" it should have a dependency to the gossip jar... your .m2 repository should contain the 'jar' file if you are compiling the project in offline mode or the best way is to configure your settings.xml to connect online and download the jars.

you can find the jar here and the forge-parent jar version 5here

<artifactId>platform-camel-core</artifactId>
<version>2.2.0</version>
</dependency>

What about the forge-parent ? do you have a directory in your repository for that with the pom files ?

John,

Yes i have forge-parent folder under "\.m2\repository\org\sonatype\forge".

Please look into this modified pom.xml

Thanks for support John...

John,

Is there something wrong with the POM itself ???

Because.. if i change the gossip version as some 1.XX, the error code still says gossip:jar:1.2 is not found in forge-parent.

Kindly suggest me a way to resolve this issue.

Thanks,
Sainadh.

did it work ?

Note: You can remove the forge-parent dependency, its included by the gossip jar ( look at the pom.xml of gossip ), If you have all the jars then you shouldn't get any problem.. is your location of your repository correct in settings.xml ?

Well, why dont you debug?

Include the dependencies one by one and try to compile.. see where are you getting the error... (ignore the compilation errors due to removed dependencies) look for the exact error you are getting now..

Also try running with the -X option - that will print out a lot more information about what Maven is doing. If you can't figure it out from that, redirect the output for running with -X to a file and attach that file to a post (don't post the text itself - it will be way to long).
