My maven build fails when I try to include neo4j-rest-graphdb in my build

Question

When I try to build my project and include the Neo4j-rest-graphdb dependency the build fails. I have tried several different versions with the same result.

I have included org.neo4j in my dependencies.

All I really want to do is have an easy way of accessing the graphical local db with my java code.

recommended release of java-rest-binding for neo4j 2.0 is currently: [2.0.0-M06](http://m2.neo4j.org/content/repositories/releases/org/neo4j/neo4j-rest-graphdb/2.0.0-M06/) — Michael Hunger, Nov 25 '13 at 00:35

Instead of a snapshot release, change the dependency to use a specific Neo4j version. Snapshots are not reliably published, and are not recommended for application development.

Snapshots should only be used if you are committing changes to Neo4j, rather than building an application based on Neo4j.

I was actually pointing to a bad repository that didn't contain the version I wanted to use.

After I added

<repository>
        <id>neo4j-release-repository</id>
        <name>Neo4j Maven 2 release repository</name>
        <url>http://m2.neo4j.org/content/repositories/releases/</url>
        <releases>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
        </releases>
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
        </snapshots>
    </repository>

It worked out fine when I used milestone 6.
