Project build error: 'dependencies.dependency.version' for org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-eureka-server:jar is missing

Question

I am developing a code from https://www.dineshonjava.com/microservices-with-spring-boot/. When I update the spring-boot-starter-parent from 1.5.4.RELEASE to 2.0.4.RELEASE, build got failed.

Could anyone please guide me what is the issue ?

Project build error: 'dependencies.dependency.version' for org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-eureka-server:jar is missing.

Dependencies were renamed, include Netflix nowadays. – Autoeroticism

@Autoeroticism - Could you please post corrected maven dependencies? I think something has change majorly post 2.0.0.RELEASE – Davies

Answer 1

As indicated in my comment, some starters were renamed: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-cloud/wiki/Spring-Cloud-Edgware-Release-Notes

A number of starters did not follow normal Spring Cloud naming conventions. In Edgware, use of the deprecated starter will log a warning with the name of the new starter to use in its place.

So change: spring-cloud-starter-eureka-server to spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-server.

Even after renaming, issue still persists. – Mcburney

I am already using "spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-server" but it still has issue – Ingmar

It doesn't work with spring-cloud-starter-netflix-hystrix to – Dramamine

Answer 3

1º) remove dependency from your pom.xml and save the file;

2º) Go to the STS project > right click > Spring > Edit Starters > search to Eureka Discovery Client and mark checkbok > OK.

This action solved my problem.

Even I got the similar error when I was adding dependency for hystrix.

Error : Project build error: 'dependencies.dependency.version' for org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-hystrix:jar is missing

It worked after changing netflix <artifactId>

from: spring-cloud-starter-hystrix 
to:   spring-cloud-starter-netflix-hystrix

Hello Ravikumar, welcome to StackOverflow. I have remove your bold characters formatting because is too agressive and I have formatted your question differently in using back character ` to put text on grey background. I have also used code formatting so that comparaison between incorrect code and correct code in artifactId is immediate. You can see what I have already done in clicking on edit button just below your question. I hope that can help your for your next post. – Imprecate

Answer 7

There are a couple of things here. I was trying to create the Eureka server and I faced a couple of problems.

First things

If you are using spring-cloud-starter-eureka-server then change it to spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-server.

The link will give the details of the changes. https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-cloud/wiki/Spring-Cloud-Edgware-Release-Notes

I recently created the starter project from https://start.spring.io/ and it has the latest changes in pom.xml

This is how it looks like

<dependency>
 <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
 <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependency>
 <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
 <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-server</artifactId>
</dependency>

You need to make sure that the eureka server dependency version is correct. You can make sure by adding <spring-cloud.version>Greenwich.RELEASE</spring-cloud.version> in properties tag and ${spring-cloud.version} in dependencyManagement's version tag

If you do not see the <dependencyManagement> tag then add the whole dependency in your pom.xml

<properties>
    <java.version>1.8</java.version>
     <spring-cloud.version>Greenwich.RELEASE</spring-cloud.version>
 </properties>

	<dependencyManagement>
		<dependencies>
			<dependency>
				<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
				<artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
				<version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>
				<type>pom</type>
				<scope>import</scope>
			</dependency>
		</dependencies>
	</dependencyManagement>

I hope it helps.

After setting the version:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>

the error disappeared. Probably not the best solution for production.

Answer 9

Try adding bellow global version,

<properties>
    <java.version>11</java.version>
    <spring-cloud.version>2020.0.2</spring-cloud.version>
</properties>

Then the dependency without version tag as bellow,

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-server</artifactId>
</dependency>

This may help some.

Answer 10

For all those who still having the error after trying above mentioned troubleshooting, they can add this dependency management in pom.xml, it should work.

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
            <version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>

I tried all the answers posted above and none of them work. The only bulletproof method which worked for me is to create a demo project at https://start.spring.io/ and choose the dependencies Eureka Discovery Client SPRING, then see the pom.xml of the demo project and compare with your current POM.

The demo pom.xml generated from start.spring.io is posted below, I have included comments to list the code I was missing in my XML and upon including I was able to get the compile it successfully.

Answer 12

I Find the solution by trying two things and both solved the problem, I guess it is the issue with the netflix-eureka server version.

Method 1: Simply Use JDK 11.

Method 2: If you are using JDK 8. Then add this version tag with version 3.0.0,

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-server</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>

this is though not the best practice and will give the warning of

Overriding managed version 3.1.1 for spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-server

however, it will remove the error.

Answer 16

If nothing works, then the problem is in your maven settings. Check Maven Settings: Verify that IntelliJ IDEA is using the correct Maven installation and settings. Go to "File" -> "Settings" -> "Build, Execution, Deployment" -> "Build Tools" -> "Maven". Ensure that the "Maven home directory" points to the correct location where Maven is installed on your system. Change to Bundled (Maven 3). The problem will disappear then

    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <excludes>
                    <exclude>
                        <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
                        <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
                    </exclude>
                </excludes>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

So I have to changed my pom like this.

<properties>
    <java.version>17</java.version>
    <!-- Add spring cloud verion --> 
    <spring-cloud.version>2022.0.3</spring-cloud.version>
</properties>
<dependencies>
</dependencies>
<!-- Add dependencyManagement --> 
<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
            <version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

dependencyManagement is just a declaration, and it does not really add a dependency.

Update your pom.xml file as following

<properties>
    <spring-cloud.version>2023.0.0</spring-cloud.version>
</properties>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
            <version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

This has solved the same issue.

In my case there were two missing things in the pom.xml file

1. <spring-cloud.version> in the properties tag
2. <dependencyManagement> tag, which as to be created outside the <dependencies> tag

Code

<properties>
    <java.version>17</java.version>
    <spring-cloud.version>2023.0.1</spring-cloud.version>
</properties>

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
            <version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
