Description

I currently have the problem that the extension fails to build my project because

message: Failure to find org.owasp:dependency-check-maven:jar:3.2.1 in https://<company-repository> was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of maven has elapsed or updates are forced;code: 0

The artifact can be found in the repository. The project also builds successfully from the command line with mvn compile. I also saw it download the mentioned dependency and it did end up in my local cache in ~/.m2/repository but the extension still shows this error when triggering a full rebuild. Restarting VSCode did not help. It seems there is some remnant of the failed resolution in an extension specific place.

What I really don't like about this is that I occasionally get into these kinds of problems and I have no real way to deal with them. All I can do is cleaning the workspace directory as mentioned in the troubleshooting guide but that is not really a way to work. In that sense they are usually not reproducible as well. If I can provide you with more information I'd be more than happy to but unfortunately even setting the log to verbose does not add anything to what I pasted above; it's just formatted differently.

Environment
  • Operating System: OS X 10.13.4
  • JDK version: 1.8.0_171
  • Visual Studio Code version: 1.23.1
  • Java extension version: 0.25.0
Steps To Reproduce
  1. open project (I opened https://github.com/zalando/logbook)
Current Result
  • build fails with messages as shown above
Expected Result
  • build succeeds
Additional Informations
  • build succeeds from CLI

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure in the linked logbook project with the listed VS Code, Java extension, JDK, and OS X versions, comparing the extension-triggered full rebuild with mvn compile. Trace where the extension performs Maven dependency resolution and verify whether clearing or refreshing its cached state makes the build succeed; done means the dependency resolves and the full rebuild passes without workspace cleanup.
