Missing artifact log4j:log4j:bundle:1.2.17

eclipse, eclipse-plugin, maven

Solution

First why did you changed the default source folder location? The default is `src/main/java` and for webapp `src/main/webapp`. Apart from that a bundle for log4j does not exist on Maven Central just remove the `<type>bundle</type>` from your dependency, cause in Maven Central only a jar is available.

Problem

I created a dynamic web application in eclipse Version: Kepler Service Release 1 using menu. After that I converted it into a maven project using configure -> convert to maven project. Then I did maven->Add dependency and then searched for log4j. After adding that on hovering over the tag for log4j it displays Missing artifact log4j:log4j:bundle:1.2.17. I can't update dependencies using maven. How to fix it? Please also explain the reason for the error. Here is the generated xml after adding log4j. ``` <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>Healthcare</groupId> <artifactId>Healthcare</artifactId> <version>0.0.1-HEALTHCARE</version> <packaging>war</packaging> <build> <sourceDirectory>src</sourceDirectory> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.1</version> <configuration> <source>1.6</source> <target>1.6</target> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.3</version> <configuration> <warSourceDirectory>WebContent</warSourceDirectory> <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>log4j</groupId> <artifactId>log4j</artifactId> <version>1.2.17</version> <type>bundle</type> </dependency> </dependencies> </project> ```
