[ashley Jug]

Hello,

I need the jar j2ee-1.4.jar for my project but maven is not able to download the jar. This is how it is defined in my pom.xml:

<dependency>
			<groupId>javax.j2ee</groupId>
			<artifactId>j2ee</artifactId>
			<version>1.4</version>
			<scope>provided</scope>
		</dependency>

I get the following error when i run a clean install on my project:

I don't know of any repository that contains the 1.4 version of the javaee JAR (the oldest one I see if for EE 6). You might have to use "mvn install:install-file" to install the JAR into your local repository manually.

You do not find this kind of jar in a public maven repository.
If you are working in a company chances are it will be in your company's maven repository.
In such a case you need to make sure your company's maven repository is searched during the build.
Usually it will be put in your local settings.xml
