testNG Maven problem

I am trying to run a build file using Ant. I am using Maven for dependencies. I am having a testNG dependency in my project.

This is the pom.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>be.anova.abis</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-pom</artifactId>
    <packaging>pom</packaging>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <name>My first Maven POM</name>
<dependencies>
    <dependency>  
      <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
      <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
      <version>6.2</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>

The maven downloads the testNG from mavenrepository, but I am getting an error, it is complaining that it can not find org.testng.Assert and org.testng.annotations.Test. (as below)

Compiling 10 source files to /home/shahin/Files/Development/Ant/ServiceEJBSample3/bin
    [javac] /home/shahin/Files/Development/Ant/ServiceEJBSample3/ejbModule/net/company/test/Service1Test.java:5: package org.testng does not exist
    [javac] import org.testng.Assert;
    [javac]                  ^
    [javac] /home/shahin/Files/Development/Ant/ServiceEJBSample3/ejbModule/net/company/test/Service1Test.java:6: package org.testng.annotations does not exist
    [javac] import org.testng.annotations.Test;
    [javac]                              ^
    [javac] /home/shahin/Files/Development/Ant/ServiceEJBSample3/ejbModule/net/company/test/Service1Test2.java:5: package org.testng does not exist
    [javac] import org.testng.Assert;
    [javac]                  ^

If I don't use maven and simply use ant and specify the location where the testNG.jar file is, there is no problem at all. I have used the same .jar file that maven downloaded for Ant to make sure I am using the same source. I also have tried different versions of testNG from maevnrepo. Any insights ?

Do I need to include all dependencies (all different packages? like org.t开发者_运维技巧estng.Assert and org.testng.annotationsTest and as such) in the POM file? or just the one is enough? If I need to have all of them listed in POM file, what is the best and fastet way of doing it?

Works for me. Did you do a mvn clean first? Maybe the dependency isn't getting downloaded.

Your pom.xml looks correct, maybe your repository got corrupt somehow, I suggest rm -rf ~/.m2 or if you don't want to download the entire Internet, start by just removing the TestNG dependencies only.

I have cleaned the maven and revised the build.xml file once again, it works now. Probably it was something wrong in the repository. Thanks all for your input.
