Failed to Read Artifact Descriptor: IntelliJ

Question

I am running into an issue with my Maven POM file where its unable to find spark dependency and is returning with error: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.spark:spark-streaming-kafka_2.10:jar:1.2.1

I've confirmed its not an issue with any corporate firewall as every other dependency is loaded in properly, just this one.

I have also been able to confirm in my maven settings it is attempting to pull from the following repo. I tried deleting the .m2 repo on my local machine in order to reload it, still no dice.

http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/spark/spark-streaming-kafka_2.10/1.2.1/

Attached below is my pom file

<groupId>my.group.id</groupId>
<artifactId>sentiment</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<name>NPITWITTER</name>

<properties>
</properties>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.sparkjava</groupId>
            <artifactId>spark-core</artifactId>
            <version>1.1.1</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
            <artifactId>spark-streaming-kafka_2.10</artifactId>
            <version>1.2.1</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
            <artifactId>spark-core_2.10</artifactId>

        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
            <artifactId>spark-streaming_2.10</artifactId>
            <version>1.2.1</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
            <artifactId>spark-hive_2.10</artifactId>
            <version>1.2.1</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
            <artifactId>spark-sql_2.10</artifactId>
            <version>1.2.1</version>
        </dependency>


    </dependencies>

This dependency correctly exists: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.spark/spark-streaming-kafka_2.10/1.2.1 so the problem is elsewhere. — Tunaki, Jan 30 '16 at 18:54

In Intellij, I had the same issue,

I did the proxy settings also, and ran the command mvn –U clean install but it's not working.

I got its resolved with the below setting enabled (highlighted in yellow)

In Intellij, go to File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployments -> Maven Check the box, ‘Always update snapshots’

Worked for me as it seems to have forced to download all the dependencies of all the sub-projects. – Jivay Nov 06 '17 at 14:24

That's 'IntelliJ IDEA -> Preferences' on Mac – delucasvb Jun 06 '18 at 09:53
Was helpful with the same issue appeared in one project after updating to 2018.2.2 – AlexK Aug 23 '18 at 03:23

I also need to tick the `use plugin registry` tab and it works then. – Arefe May 21 '19 at 12:49
In case none of these work for you go to your apache-maven-/conf folder and check your settings.xml, mine had proxy settings in them messing things up. – Lenymm Feb 03 '20 at 15:21

Resolved it, was due to a proxy setting that was enabled. Re-ran with mvn -U clean install and all was repaired.

I guess IntelliJ comes with and ambedded Maven installation, so just make sure your IDE is pointing to the right Maven home directory: and User settings file: values, these are under:

Go to File
Select Settings
Select Build, Execution, Deployments
Select Build Tools from drop down
Select Maven from drop down

I had just solved the issue. Please, go in the Maven tab of the Build, Execution, Deployments and set it to the settings provided.

The above solution had to extend further to resolve my issue(In IntelliJ idea).

Step 1

Go to File -> Settings -> (Build, Execution, Deployment) -> Maven and tick the Always update snapshot option and then click on Apply -> Ok

Step 2

Go to File -> Invalidate Cache/Restart -> Invalidate and Restart

Step 3

Build the project after step 2 and see whether the error is fixed. If not, Restart the computer and then run the project.

I had to follow all the 3 steps to get the error fixed

In my case, it was proxy related problem. I am highlighting few of areas where you may need to verify and correct the same.

Intellij proxy settings from preference window
maven settings.xml entry from your ~/.m2/settings.xml or /usr/local/Cellar/maven//libexec/conf/settings.xml
System proxy

Hope this will help.

Go to file => Settings => Build, Execution, Deployment => Maven => Maven home directory: change from Bundled (Maven 3) to Bundled (Maven 2)
