Unable to find artifact from artifactory - maven-3

I am using JFrog artifactory 3.2.1.1 with Maven 3.2.1.
I uploaded a built project that exists in libs-snapshot-local under the repository browser. If I browse to com.foo.project, I will see the project-1.0-20151113.133436-1.jar file and pom and metadata in the artifactory browser.
Even accessing http://example.com:8081/artifactory/webapp/browserepo.html?42&pathId=libs-snapshot-local:com/foo/project/1.0-SNAPSHOT/project-1.0-20151113.133436-1.jar shows me the jar file inside.
I used the settings.xml generator from the artifactory to generate the <repository> tag that I use in the following pom.xml:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

And if I change

to

Then I get:

Return code is: 409 , ReasonPhrase:Conflict.
I will keep deploying new snapshots now and then to the same project-1.0 and would like this pom file to just include the latest SNAPSHOT build when building from the artifactory.

The answer was, as I quickly figured out that the version needs to be specified as:
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

Multi-module maven microservices deploy to Heroku

I have a microservices project with a parent POM and all the other modules with an internal POM.
Locally, if I run mvn clean install -DskipTests everything works.
I want to deploy all the microservices to Heroku, how can i do this?
The project works also for Docker & Kubernetes, is there a way to integrate also Docker in Heroku?
So it will be beautiful if I can deploy all the microservices as 1 project in Heroku, with every microservices as a Docker image.
Thank you in advance!
This is an example of my project:

Build
You can build all images for the sub-modules using the docker-maven-plugin.
Each sub-module must have its own Dockerfile, then in the parent POM add:
<plugin>
<groupId>io.fabric8</groupId>
<artifactId>docker-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.38.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>start</id>
<phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>build</goal>
<goal>start</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>stop</id>
<phase>post-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>stop</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
When running mvn clean package docker:build all projects are built and Dockerized
Deploy
Deploying all images (each image into its own web Dyno) is a little bit more complicated. You have few options:
Script from the command line: typically you can push the image with the following commands
heroku container:push web -a appname
heroku container:release web a appname
You could build a script that performs those steps for each and (very important) performs both the heroku login and heroku:container login using the credentials
Using heroku.yml where you can define at once all the containers to be deployed. It is a good approach but you need to git push your changes (see here)
Use CI/CD application like Github Actions. In this case your workflow compiles, tests, builds and pushes the application.
This is my preferred approach: you can decide when to build/deploy (on master push? manually?), you save the Heroku credentials as secrets, you can automate the release pipeline.
You can read more here
You can also try the Heroku Docker Maven plugin if you like to control all services using Maven

in Jenkins till build it's working but while deploying i'm getting error.
For the deploy process Using custom workspace Directory and executing the custom batch command mvn package deploy -DmuleDeploy.
Here it's failing with the below added error.
This is my standalone server where i have to deploy: C:\AnypointStudio\mule-enterprise-standalone-4.2.2\apps
Can you please check my pom.xml anything else do i need to add there?
let me know where I am doing wrong to deploy on standalone server?
The Mule Maven Plugin is complaining that the target standalone Mule Runtime at C:\AnypointStudio\mule-enterprise-standalone-4.2.2\ is not running. The log error says as much: Mule Runtime is not running!. The documentation for the standalone deployment configuration seems to imply that it should be executing.
You'll need to ensure it is up and running before trying to deploy to it.
Note, installing a standalone Mule Runtime inside a directory called AnypointStudio is a bit confusing. The standalone runtime is not part of Anypoint Studio nor it interacts with Studio in any way.

maven dependency:copy across modules

Have a project with several module projects and itself having other module projects. I have certain modules generating a special artifact type '.kar', and I am deploying this to artifactory during maven deploy phase.
Now I want to find a way by using this existing pom to download these specific artifacts from artifactory by version.
mvn dependency:copy <> allows me to download this per specific artifact.
I want this to be done via the pom file which generates these artifacts. Problem is when I use the dependency:copy, it only runs on the current pom which may or may not have the special artifact.
If I use it in then it re-deploys all the artifacts and downloads the special artifact correctly. This is not right solution though.
You could add a new module to your project that has <dependencies> to all of your .kar artifacts. In the POM file of this new module you can use the copy-dependencies goal of the maven-dependency-plugin.
<project>
<!-- Integrate this module into your multi-module project. -->
<parent>
<groupId>my.group.id</groupId>
<artifactId>my-parent-pom</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version<
</parent>
...
<!-- Add dependencies for all your .kar artifacts. -->
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>my.group.id</groupId>

unable to convert my maven to eclipse

Please, I am new to maven and trying to build my first maven project. So, here are a few things I did:
from my command line into a directory called MavenProject I created:
mvn archetype:generate
and then choose a number to apply number, I entered 15 then;
Choose com.dyuproject.protostuff.archetype:basic-webapp version:
I chose version 1.0.7
groupId: com.henry
artifactId: HibernateTest
and the rest, I just entered..
and the project was created but then I typed in mvn eclipse:eclipse, I got an error that there was no pom.xml file even though I can see there is one in my mavenProject. so, I changed into the HibernateTest directory and in that directory, I tried the mvn eclipse:eclipse command again but this time, it gave the eorror:
Plugin com.dyuproject.protostuff:protostuff-maven-plugin:1.0.2-SNAPSHOT or one of its
dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to read artifact descriptor for
com.dyuproject.protostuff:protostuff-maven-plugin:jar:1.0.2-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact
com.dyuproject.protostuff:protostuff-maven-plugin:pom:1.0.2-SNAPSHOT
I tried to solve this by going to mvnrepository.com and found the protostuff maven and added the dependencies but still couldn't solve it. here is my pom.xml file:

Any help will be appreciated. Sorry am a newbie :)
First try to build the project on the command line: mvn install. That should succeed.
But it looks like it won't, as it is looking for a SNAPSHOT dependency version of ${protostuff.version}. When I look in the Maven central repository, there's really only release versions (as it should be). Somehow you have to fix that, probably in your parent project.
The POM file should be in the root of the project and called pom.xml. Where you find the POM file called pom.xml is the root of the project :)
Only use eclipse:eclipse as a last resort. If you have free choice of Eclipse, and you have no wizardry in your Maven projects, you should be able to use the m2e (m2eclipse) Eclipse plugin.
That's an Eclipse plugin, not a Maven plugin, so no additional steps are needed on the command line. Just go into Eclipse, make sure the m2e plugin is installed. Then import your project (Import, "Existing Maven Projects").
All the files that Eclipse needs for its own bookkeeping should be created upon import and be based on the POM file. I.e. .classpath, .project and .settings (folder). If you have any of those prior to importing into Eclipse, you may be better off removing them (they may be remnants of your eclipse:eclipse attempts.

[DEBUG] Ignoring Maven repository central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2)
and then my build fails, because my dependency cannot be resolved. Am I missing something? Is this because of the p2 resolver configured for target-platform-configuration?
Indeed it seems you are correct.
First, create a Target Definition file (.target) and put it inside a Maven project, see here for example target: https://github.com/eclipsesource/com.eclipsesource.tycho.aspectj.demo/blob/master/platform/indigo.target
You need to attach the .target file to the artifact, using the build helper:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-artifacts</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>attach-artifact</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifacts>
<artifact>
<file>indigo.target</file>
<type>target</type>
<classifier>indigo</classifier>
</artifact>
</artifacts>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
(from https://github.com/eclipsesource/com.eclipsesource.tycho.aspectj.demo/blob/master/platform/pom.xml )
Then, in the parent POM or the plug-in projects that use that target definition file, you need to configure the "target" of target-platform-configuration Maven plugin, for example:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
<artifactId>target-platform-configuration</artifactId>
<version>${tycho-version}</version>
<configuration>
<resolver>p2</resolver>
<ignoreTychoRepositories>true</ignoreTychoRepositories>
<target>
<artifact>
<groupId>com.eclipsesource.sandbox.weaving.demo</groupId>
<artifactId>com.eclipsesource.sandbox.weaving.demo.platform</artifactId>
<version>0.1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<classifier>indigo</classifier>
</artifact>
</target>
<environments>
<environment>
<os>${build.os}</os>
<ws>${build.ws}</ws>
<arch>${build.arch}</arch>
</environment>
</environments>
</configuration>
</plugin>
(taken from https://github.com/eclipsesource/com.eclipsesource.tycho.aspectj.demo/blob/master/releng/pom.xml )
Then your project(s) should build very nicely using Tycho. :-) If your .target references remote p2 repositories and not already in the p2 bundle pool, the necessary artifacts will be downloaded automatically.
Good luck!
Known Issue:
[WARNING] Target location type: Profile is not supported
As of Tycho 0.12.0, It means the "Eclipse Installation" target source type cannot be used with Tycho (yet?), along with "Directory" and "Features".
Solution: Use the "Update Site" target source.
If you don't have yet an update site, here's to generate an update site from an Eclipse (or from any folder containing bundles, for that matter):
/opt/eclipse_rcp/eclipse -consolelog -nosplash -verbose \
-application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.FeaturesAndBundlesPublisher \
-metadataRepository file:/home/ceefour/p2/bonita/ \
-artifactRepository file:/home/ceefour/p2/bonita/ \
-source /home/ceefour/BOS-5.5.1/studio/ \
-publishArtifacts
Note:
change /opt/eclipse_rcp to your own Eclipse SDK installation
metadataRepository and artifactRepository is the folder where the new update site will be created
source is --you guessed it-- the folder/installation containing the original bundles
