Question

I use the latest m2eclipse to generate a standard ejb project, but then I got an error:

Missing artifact javaee:javaee-api:jar:5:provided

The pom.xml is as follow:

        </plugins>

</project>

What’s wrong?

Answer 1

I ended up using this:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.openejb</groupId>
    <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
    <version>5.0-2</version>
    <type>jar</type>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
