Maven could not resolve dependencies spark

Question

I try to build a simple java program: JavaWordCount for spark-1.1.0.

I get this error: Building JavaWordCount 1.0-SNAPSHOT
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are my dependencies from pom.xml

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>junit</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
      <version>3.8.1</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
     </dependency>
    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
    <artifactId>spark-assembly_2.10</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0</version>
   </dependency>
   <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
    <artifactId>spark-examples_2.10</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0</version>
    </dependency>
 <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
    <artifactId>spark-core_2.10</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0</version>
 </dependency>

It includes spark assembly.

Any ideas would be really appreciated.

Thank you!

The problem is that the dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
  <artifactId>spark-assembly_2.10</artifactId>
  <version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>

is not a jar its a pom file only which means you can't define it like this. You can see it in the error message:

Failure to find org.apache.spark:spark-assembly_2.10:jar:1.1.0

which shows that Maven will try to download a jar file. The means you have to define it like this:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
  <artifactId>spark-assembly_2.10</artifactId>
  <version>1.1.0</version>
  <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

But i'm not sure if this will solve all problems. You should take a deep look into the documentation if this is the right path.

Update: You can also use that as BOM via:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
  <artifactId>spark-assembly_2.10</artifactId>
  <version>1.1.0</version>
  <type>pom</type>
  <scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
