dxa 1.4 java code compilation issue

Question

We are trying to compile the DXA 1.4 java code through maven but facing some issues in compilation.

is it possible to get all the required code in one project?

Answer 1

In DXA all the dependency management was moved to dxa-bom and dxa-bom-2013sp1 artifacts, and now versions are managed for the whole framework in one place. That was needed to get rid of multiple versions of same artifacts used by DXA in multiple places.

In your case com.sdl.dxa:dxa-bom:pom:1.5.0-SNAPSHOT cannot be resolved, and thus versions of artifacts are not available. There are two possible solutions:

• Build and install dxa-bom from Github to a local Maven repository from https://github.com/sdl/dxa-web-application-java/tree/master/dxa-bom
• Configure your Maven to use https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/ as a snapshots repository, so that it can resolve the latest published snapshot artifact.

Answer 2

Are you sure you are compiling DXA 1.4 Java source code? The reference to 1.5.0-SNAPSHOT implies it's DXA 1.5 pre-release code.

Note that the master branch on GitHub currently indeed represents DXA 1.5 pre-release (DXA 1.5 Sprint 2). To get DXA 1.4 code, you should use the release/1.4 branch.
