The following artifacts could not be resolved: javax.jms:jms:jar:1.1

Thanks for the suggestions. I finally found a solution to this problem after reading this. It turns out that these dependencies were coming from a dependency to ZooKeeper.

I modified my pom.xml as following and it solved the problem:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.zookeeper</groupId>
        <artifactId>zookeeper</artifactId>
        <version>3.3.2</version>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>com.sun.jmx</groupId>
                <artifactId>jmxri</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>com.sun.jdmk</groupId>
                <artifactId>jmxtools</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>javax.jms</groupId>
                <artifactId>jms</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>

If anyone still wants to use jms1.1 then add the public jboss repository and maven will find it...

project->dependencies:

  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>javax.jms</groupId>
      <artifactId>jms</artifactId>
      <version>1.1</version>
    </dependency>

project->repositories:

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>repository.jboss.org-public</id>
      <name>JBoss.org Maven repository</name>
      <url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public</url>
    </repository>  

It works -

Log4 version 1.2.17 automatically resolves the issue as it has depency on geronimo-jms. I got the same issue with log4j- 1.2.15 version.

---

Added with more around the issue

---

using 1.2.17 resolved the issue during the compile time but the server(Karaf) was using 1.2.15 version thus creating conflict at run time. Thus I had to switch back to 1.2.15.

The JMS and JMX api were available for me at the runtime thus i did not import the J2ee api.

what i did was I used the compile time dependency on 1.2.17 but removed it at the runtime.

            <groupId>log4j</groupId>
            <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
