Blocked mirror for repositories http://maven.geotoolkit.org

[ghobona]

I get the following error when I try to build a project that references geotoolkit, using Maven 3.8.1.

Blocked mirror for repositories: [geotoolkit (http://maven.geotoolkit.org/, default, releases+snapshots)]

Since Maven 3.8.1 http repositories are blocked.

Possible solutions:
- Check that Maven pom files not contain http repository http://maven.geotoolkit.org/
- Add a mirror(s) for http://maven.geotoolkit.org/ that allows http url in the Maven settings.xml
- Downgrade Maven to version before 3.8.1 in settings

My pom.xml file contains this:

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>geotoolkit</id>
    <name>Geotk Modules</name>
    <url>http://maven.geotoolkit.org/</url>
    <layout>default</layout>
  </repository>
</repositories>

I tried replacing the url with:

• https://maven.geotoolkit.org
• https://nexus.geomatys.com/repository/geotoolkit

None of the URLs listed above worked either.

Hello Gobe. Can you try replacing "http" by "https" in the pom.xml file? Also, can you check if a browser can open the https://maven.geotoolkit.org/ URL?

Sorry I missed the part of the comment saying that you already tried with "https". I presume that after making this change, the error message saying "Since Maven 3.8.1 http repositories are blocked" changed to something else. What is the new error message?

The error changes to "org.opengis:geoapi-parent:pom:3.1-M04 was not found in https://jitpack.io during a previous attempt. This failure was cached in the local repository and resolution is not reattempted until the update interval of jitpack.io has elapsed or updates are forced".

A screenshot of the IDE and the relevant part of the pom.xml file is attached.

Interestingly, when I reload the maven project. I get the original error message: "Blocked mirror for repositories: [geotoolkit (http://maven.geotoolkit.org, default, releases+snapshots)]". This happens even though the repository is https://maven.geotoolkit.org

The first screenshot contains a link to https://github.com/opengeospatial/ets-ogcapi-edr10. Is it the project that we try to build? If yes I can investigate directly on the project and submit pull request if this is okay for you. Or if the issue is with another project, is there a link that I could checkout?

@desruisseaux Yes, the project is https://github.com/opengeospatial/ets-ogcapi-edr10

It should build with mvn clean install site -Pintegration-tests -Dsource=8

I just tried to build the project from source. When using Java 17, the build fails with an error unrelated to Geotk. The error seems to come from org.mockito.Mockito:

java.lang.ClassFormatError accessible: module java.base does not "opens java.lang" to unnamed module @1a2dd1b8
	at org.opengis.cite.ogcapiedr10.VerifySuiteFixtureListener.setUpClass(VerifySuiteFixtureListener.java:32)

I suspect that upgrading the Mockito dependency would fix above issue. In the meantime I tried to build with Java 8 and it worked. I do not know why the maven.geotoolkit.org repository seems blocked on your side…

Looking at the source code of EDR project, I saw that Geotk is used for referencing services. In recent Geotk versions, referencing services are now handled by Apache SIS. Would you be interested in a patch replacing Geotk by Apache SIS? An advantage is that Apache SIS is deployed on Maven Central repository, so we could remove the maven.geotoolkit.org repository completely. This proposal assumes that the EDR project is not used in the same Java Virtual Machine than other OGC projects using Geotk, otherwise we would have conflicts unless we perform the same upgrade on all projects that are run together.

I created a pull request replacing Geotk dependency by Apache SIS: opengeospatial/ets-ogcapi-edr10#97

If this pull request is accepted, then EDR would not depend anymore on maven.geotoolkit.org repository.
