building oozie: Unknown host repository.codehaus.org

Question

I'm trying to build Oozie 4.2.0 downloaded from here: http://ftp.cixug.es/apache/oozie/4.2.0/oozie-4.2.0.tar.gz

After launching the build

bin/mkdistro.sh -DskipTests

I'm getting this error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project oozie-core: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.apache.oozie:oozie-core:jar:4.2.0: Could not transfer artifact org.apache.hbase:hbase:jar:1.1.1 from/to Codehaus repository (http://repository.codehaus.org/): Unknown host repository.codehaus.org

From what I'm seeing on the Internet, codehause repository is not available any more. Is there a way to build Oozie without it?

Answer 1

Just for the sake of helping people seeing this question in the future , you can resolve this through backing up this repo source with another source

The Codehaus hosting platform was ended, i.e., their public Maven repository is gone, too. You should try to follow their advice and add the following to your ~/.m2/settings.xml file:

<repositories>
     <repository>
       <id>Codehaus repository</id>
       <name>codehaus-mule-repo</name>
       <url>https://repository-master.mulesoft.org/nexus/content/groups/public/
       </url>
       <layout>default</layout>
     </repository>
   </repositories>

This should use a backup repository to get the missing dependency.
