How does Maven interpret groupId and artifact

Question

I have the following dependency in the pom.xml

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.usenet.node</groupId>
            <artifactId>org.usenet.node.exchange.data.json</artifactId>
            <version>0.0.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>

I get this error when compiling : [ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project communication-bundle: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.usenet.btrust:communication-bundle:bundle:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact org.use net.node:org.usenet.node.exchange.data.json:jar:0.0.3-SNAPSHOT -> [Help 1]

However, i have the needed jar in my local repo. How does maven interpret the groupId and ArtifactId to fid the jar? thanks

Well, if it really is in your local repo, it should work, I think. Can you double-check it again (pay attention to typos)? Also consider to delete it from the local repo. Maybe something got corrupted. — Puce

You can extract the Maven coordinates from the jarfile itself, it is listed in the manifest, i.e. META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
