I'm having a problem with dom4j in pom.xml.
<dependency><groupId>org.dom4j</groupId><artifactId>dom4j-1.4</artifactId><version>1.4</version><type>jar</type><scope>compile</scope></dependency>is annotated with "Missing artifact org.dom4j:dom4j-1.4:jar:1.4". Here's the pom:

Best Answer
Since the version 2.0.x, this library was changed to a different groupId. Instead of dom4j, it is now org.dom4j (see the image below). You can try to migrate it or just use a version before, like 1.6.1 (but I really encourage you to use the new versions, given the security vulnerabilities in this old version).
Your dependency settings should look like this:
<dependency><groupId>org.dom4j</groupId><artifactId>dom4j</artifactId><version>2.1.4</version></dependency>First remove your existing jar file from your .m2 folder, again run the maven install. Then your problem will solve.
