Question

I’m working with a basic Java app on Heroku utilizing scribe for OAuth access to the Meetup API. I’m pulling the dependency via maven and it appears that the artifact served up by the central repo is missing some of the latest APIs despite carrying the 1.3.0 version.

Explore the artifact found here http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.scribe/scribe/1.3.0 and you’ll find org.scribe.builder.api.MeetupApi as well as several others missing.

Any other repos out there I can use to get at the latest version rather than supplying the artifact myself? Since the devs are subscribed, maybe a chance of getting central updated? I’ll likely be using this app for a walk-through lab, so being able to pull the dependency rather than provide it would be a real time saver.

Thanks for your time!

SOLVED: I was actually seeking out features of 1.3.1, which is not yet released. See my answer below for how I made an in-project repo to house my own build of 1.3.1 until release.

Answer 1

I figured out an alternative way to accomplish this using an in-project repository which allowed me to avoid using a system scope on a dependency. I added a lib directory to my project:

lib/org/scribe/scribe/1.3.1

I then cloned the latest scribe project code and did a mvn install, then copied the jar and pom files from my local .m2 repo into the new directory within my project. I then included the new localalized repo in my pom like so:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>project.local</id>
        <name>project</name>
        <releases>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
            <checksumPolicy>ignore</checksumPolicy>
        </releases>
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
        </snapshots>
        <url>file:${project.basedir}/lib</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>
