If you have used log4j 1.2 on your project via Maven, you may have see missng artifact error for following Sun jars - com.sun.jmx:jmxri, com.sun.jdmk:jmxtools and javax.jms:jms.
Common solution to this problem is to exclude these dependencies, as suggested on Stackoverflow.
<!-- update your pom.xml to exclude sun jars -->
<dependency>
<groupId>log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
<version>1.2.15</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>
But, what if you actually need these jars available locally in maven repository ? For e.g. I needed Sun jars for compiling and debugging log4j source code. You can read more about it here.
Handling missing com.sun.jmx:jmxri, com.sun.jdmk:jmxtools
Download these jars from Oracle site and install manually in m2 repository using following commands -
mvn install:install-file
-Dfile=C:\Users\magupta\Downloads\jmxtools.jar
-DgroupId=com.sun.jdmk
-DartifactId=jmxtools
-Dversion=1.2.1
-Dpackaging=jar
mvn install:install-file
-Dfile=C:\Users\magupta\Downloads\jmxtools.jar
-DgroupId=com.sun.jmx
-DartifactId=jmxri
-Dversion=1.2.1
-Dpackaging=jar
