Could not find artifact org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:jar:2.5.6 in pom in java [duplicate]

Question

While doing mvn clean package for the project i am getting below error and did not understand the cause of the error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project dbimport: Could not resolve dependencies for project 
baag.betl:dbimport:jar:1.13-SNAPSHOT: Failure to find org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:jar:2.5.6 was cached in the local repository, 
resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of nexus has elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1]

Below is the part of my pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
    <artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.6</version>
</dependency>

I am using Intellij for my java project.

Those are incomplete logs..the complete one would read the source as well in the log you've shared. On the other hand, here is your dependency - search.maven.org/artifact/org.codehaus.groovy/groovy-all/2.5.6/… – Shushubert

i have updated my logs bit ...do i need to clear m2 cache or try mvn install ? – Acotyledon

Answer 1

From here. Have you tried add type as pom:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
    <artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.6</version>
    <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

still the issue ...i have updated my logs bit ...do i need to clear m2 cache or try mvn install ? – Acotyledon

The <type>pom</type> fixed it for me – Dorsiventral
