Maven is quite powerful if you have a lots of libraries.
It;s not only about the library, but the other powerful features to customize the build process to a great extent.

In case when this error comes “Failed to resolve artifact.” Please see that you may have to add a repository in your pom.xml; or as an option, manually install the jar files into the local maven repository as per the article.

Or you can still be with managing libraries, the old school way, add library and manage them in a directory lol ! Actually, if you are doing a small project like assignment or something, maven is not suitable for the environment.

For two days I am trying to convince maven to automate project deployment so I could simply run excutable jar. I cannot, because it cannot find external JARs because they are not there.

I hate using external tools that use external tools that use external tools that use external tools to build one simple f…ing project with maven.

I have followed the steps as above
But when I am trying to install maven ..the below error came
