Question

I run a simple CXF maven project http://cxf.apache.org/docs/using-cxf-with-maven.html, and get error below

[INFO] [cxf-codegen:wsdl2java {execution: generate-sources}]
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR 
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] org/springframework/core/io/support/ResourcePatternResolver

org.springframework.core.io.support.ResourcePatternResolver

[INFO] Trace

    at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.executeGoals(DefaultLifecycleExecutor.java:719)

I don’t know how to put the springframework-core dependance ?

I tried below like most of answers

       <dependency>
         <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.6</version>
   </dependency>
</dependencies>

but it didn’t help, I also don’t know why it depends on springframework

It works if I put the jar file under $M2_HOME/lib, but is it correct way ? since when I solve this, it requires to add more lib there, can I put it into pom.xml somewhere ?

I tried to put <dependencies/> inside <build> tag, it doesn’t work

my maven is 2.2.1 on windows

No, definitely not. To add a dependency, you need to declare it in your pom.xml, something like this:

<project>
  ...
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
      <version>???</version>
    </dependency>
    ...
  </dependencies>
</project>

But I don’t understand why you would have to add this dependency, spring-core is a dependency of cxf, you should get it transitively. You’re not providing enough context information for a more precise answer though.
