Cannot find maven dependency, mysterious jar files

Question

Hi,

I am trying to build a simple war file which has a few jsps. However I am coming across an odd issue, for some reason during the packaging maven is pulling 4 jar files into the WEB-INF/lib. I have trimmed down all the fat from the pom file, and have grepped for any references to these jars without any success. I cannot figure out where maven is pulling them from. I tried 'mvn dependency:build-classpath' and the classpath is empty. Please help, these jars are corrupt and I cannot deploy this war file because of them.

Thanks,

natasha

Answer 1

You are very likely getting these dependency transitively and your best weapon to debug this is:

mvn dependency:tree

This should help you to find the culprit.

Just a wild guess: do you have a dependency on log4j-1.2.15.jar?

Answer 2

I cannot get 'mvn dependency:tree' to work I am getting 'Required goal not found: dependency:tree'. I have Maven version: 2.0.4. And no, I do not have log4j-1.2.15.jar dependency.
