Hibernate Spatial Maven Issue

Question

I'm following the tutorial at http://www.hibernatespatial.org/tutorial-hs4.html. I've created a maven project, and imported it into Eclipse. However, when I run mvn dependency:list, I get the error Missing artifact org.postgis:postgis-jdbc:jar:1.5.3. The same error is reported from within Eclipse. Any idea on what I may be doing wrong?

Answer 1

I sorted this issue by: 1. Added maven-compiler-plugin dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.1</version>
</dependency>

1. Added postgis-jdbc dependency that is available in the maven repository. As it turns out, version 1.5.3 is not available in the maven repository, and I was not in the mood to compile the jar. So, I just added:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.postgis</groupId>
    <artifactId>postgis-jdbc</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.3</version>
</dependency>

And that sorted it out.
