Maven build hangs indefinitely when resolving transitive dependencies for multi-module project
I'm stuck trying to I've encountered a strange issue with I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help..... I'm working with an scenario with my Maven multi-module project where the build hangs indefinitely when trying to resolve transitive dependencies. My project structure is set up with one parent `pom.xml` and several child modules. The parent `pom.xml` looks like this: ```xml <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" ... > <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.example</groupId> <artifactId>my-multi-module</artifactId> <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <packaging>pom</packaging> <modules> <module>module-a</module> <module>module-b</module> </modules> </project> ``` The child module `module-a` has a dependency on `module-b`, which also has several dependencies that are pulled from Maven Central. However, when I run `mvn clean install` from the root directory, the build hangs after processing `module-a`. I've tried using the `-X` (debug) flag to get more insight, but the output just shows it hanging at the dependency resolution step for `module-b` without any further details. I also verified that the dependencies are correctly defined in `module-b`'s `pom.xml` as follows: ```xml <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" ... > <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <parent> <groupId>com.example</groupId> <artifactId>my-multi-module</artifactId> <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </parent> <artifactId>module-b</artifactId> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId> <artifactId>commons-lang3</artifactId> <version>3.12.0</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </project> ``` To troubleshoot, I tried: - Clearing the `.m2/repository` directory to force Maven to re-download dependencies. - Running Maven with the `-Dmaven.wagon.http.ssl.insecure=true` and `-Dmaven.wagon.http.ssl.allowall=true` flags to rule out SSL issues. - Checking for any proxy settings that might be interfering with the build process. Despite these efforts, the question continues. Has anyone encountered a similar scenario or have suggestions on how to resolve this hanging behavior? It’s crucial for me to resolve this to continue development. This is part of a larger application I'm building. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. Is there a simpler solution I'm overlooking? I'm working on a web app that needs to handle this. Is this even possible? For reference, this is a production desktop app. The stack includes Java and several other technologies.
