Cannot find weblogic maven plugin

Question

I follow this tutorial to install weblogic plugin: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/e13702/maven_deployer.htm and now I can see this jar in my local repository but when I run mvn weblogic:deploy I have still this error:

No versions are present in the repository for the artifact with a range [9.0,11.0)
  weblogic:weblogic:jar:null

from the specified remote repositories:
  central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2),
  codehaus.org (http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org)

Path to dependency: 
    1) org.codehaus.mojo:weblogic-maven-plugin:maven-plugin:3.9.3

maven setting:

Solution 1

You need to check your settings.xml file. You need to add the following into your settings.xml com.oracle.weblogic

Also you need to follow a two step process for installing the weblogic maven plugin jar. First use the jarbuilder tool for generating the uber jar.

 java -jar wljarbuilder.jar -profile weblogic-maven-plugin

This command would create a 65MB jar named weblogic-maven-plugin jar. Now you need to provision your jar into the repo. Use the command and remove the pom.xml from the jar.

 jar xvf MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/weblogic-maven-plugin.jar META-INF/maven/com.oracle.weblogic/weblogic-maven-plugin/pom.xml

 cp MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/META-INF/maven/com.oracle.weblogic/weblogic-maven-plugin/pom.xml MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib

The next step is most important. You need to be in the MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib directory for this.

 mvn install

And then you need to do a ....

 mvn install:install-file -Dfile="MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/weblogic-maven-plugin.jar -DpomFile="pom.xml" 

weblogic goal prefix with weblogic maven plugins

Solution 2

It looks like you are not referring to the Oracle WebLogic Maven Plugin. In the error you see this: org.codehaus.mojo:weblogic-maven-plugin:maven-plugin:3.9.3. Perhaps you were trying the codehaus plugin and need to update your pom with the coordinates to the Oracle one that you installed. For example:

groupId=com.oracle.weblogic artifactId=weblogic-maven-plugin version=10.3.4

Solution 3

this is what i did for weblogic 12c

This basically

• Builds client jars
• Builds oralce maven plugin jar
• Installs them in local repo
• Then uses the sync plugin to push tons of oracle jars in local repo - including ejb, jsf, jpa, weblogic 200+ jars

See http://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/core/MAVEN/config_maven.htm http://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/wls/WLPRG/maven.htm

if you a developer using zip installation follow these instruction to install weblogic zip

http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/java/wls_12c_netbeans_install/wls_12c_netbeans_install.html

clean /home/oracle/.m2/repository dir

cd /home/oracle/wls12120/wlserver/server/lib

cp weblogic.jar weblogic-classes.jar
java -jar wljarbuilder.jar -profile weblogic-maven-plugin
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=weblogic-maven-plugin.jar -DpomFile=pom.xml
mvn install
cd /home/oracle/wls12120/oracle_common/plugins/maven/com/oracle/maven/oracle-maven-sync/12.1.2
mvn install:install-file -DpomFile=oracle-maven-sync.12.1.2.pom -Dfile=oracle-maven-sync.12.1.2.jar
mvn com.oracle.maven:oracle-maven-sync:push  -Doracle-maven-sync.oracleHome=/home/oracle/wls12120  -Doracle-maven-sync.testingOnly=false -X

For windows I wrote this script that you can run from home dir tested in 12.1.2

cls
echo about to delete %USERPROFILE%\.m2\repository
pause
del /Q/F %USERPROFILE%\.m2\repository

set WL_HOME=%~dp0
set ORACLE_HOME=%~dp0
set WLV=12.1.2


set w

set M2_HOME=%WL_HOME%\oracle_common\modules\org.apache.maven_3.0.4

setlocal
pushd
cd %WL_HOME%\wlserver\server\lib
cp weblogic.jar weblogic-classes.jar
call java -jar wljarbuilder.jar -profile weblogic-maven-plugin
call mvn install:install-file -Dfile=weblogic-maven-plugin.jar -DpomFile=pom.xml
echo on
call mvn install

pause

echo on
cd %WL_HOME%\oracle_common\plugins\maven\com\oracle\maven\oracle-maven-sync\%WLV%
echo on
call mvn install:install-file -DpomFile=oracle-maven-sync.%WLV%.pom -Dfile=oracle-maven-sync.%WLV%.jar
echo on
call mvn com.oracle.maven:oracle-maven-sync:push  -Doracle-maven-sync.oracleHome=%WL_HOME% -Doracle-maven-sync.testingOnly=false -X

popd

I did that and afterwards I am having issues trying to call a web service from a JUnit test. There is an NPE Exception during WSDL Parsing. Any idea what can cause this behaviour?

and finally sync push the oracle jars in your local repo C:\share\weblogic\wls1212\wlserver\server\lib>mvn -Doracle-maven-sync.oracleHome=c:\share\weblogic\wls1212\ com.oracle.maven:oracle-maven-sync:push -X >push.txt see docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/wls/WLPRG/maven.htm

yes thats right, i added all steps as a separate answer
