Maven POM file Error in Managing Open-source security and license with WhiteSource Bolt Lab On Azure Devops

Question

I got the below-mentioned error in Maven Tasks in the Build Pipeline. Can’t understand this issue. I think the source code needs to update. Do I have to update my POM File for this Project? I'm not a developer. I'm learning Azure DevOps and implementing on the same.

[ERROR]
Plugin org.apache.tomcat.maven:tomcat7-maven-plugin:2.3-SNAPSHOT or one
of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to read artifact
descriptor for
org.apache.tomcat.maven:tomcat7-maven-plugin:jar:2.3-SNAPSHOT: Could not
transfer artifact
org.apache.tomcat.maven:tomcat7-maven-plugin:pom:2.3-SNAPSHOT from/to
maven-default-http-blocker (https://0.0.0.0/): Blocked mirror for
repositories: [apache.snapshots (https://repository.apache.or…, default, releases+snapshots)] -> [Help 1]

Error screenshot

The POM uses a SNAPSHOT version of a plugin. It probably misses the right repository for that. The `maven-default-http-blocker` suggests that maybe someone blocked this on purpose in the `settings.xml` — J Fabian Meier, May 26 '21 at 14:56

Maven POM file Error in Managing Open-source security and license with WhiteSource Bolt Lab On Azure Devops

According to the error log, it seems you are trying to deploy a snapshot version into a release only repository.

In your pom, you should set the <version>2.3-SNAPSHOT</version>, but in the error log, you are deploy artifacts to repo-release. Hence the conflict.

To resolve this issue, please try to select a snapshot repository instead of a release one in your pom.xml or select a release library rather than the snapshot library for your release version.

Check this thread for some more details.
