Project built with AEM Archetype 22 Fails to build - Failed to collect dependencies at io.wcm:io.wcm.testing.aem-mock.junit5:jar:2.5.2

[surenk]

Built a new codebase using AEM Archetype 22. But code build (using command mvn clean install -PautoInstallPackage ) fails with the below message. How can this be resolved?

Trying to deploy to AEM 6.3.3 on Windows 10 Enterprise

Can you check if you are using the correct version of uber jar?

[1] https://repo.adobe.com/nexus/content/groups/public/com/adobe/aem/uber-jar/6.3.3.3/

Thanks. Updating the uber jar from 6.5 to 6.3.3 helped to resolve. There were some missing dependencies, that i downloaded and copied manually to .m2/repository..

Implies that you cannot establish a trusted SSL connection with the Nexus / Artifactory repository.

You can use the http adobe repository instead of https in setting.xml like this

<url>http://repo.adobe.com/nexus/content/groups/public/</url>
