NoClassDefFoundError using with boxable plugin - pdfbox

I am using boxable plugin with pdfbox and I am trying to create a teble. I am getting error:
2015-09-09T10:36:52.453+0200|Severe: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/pdfbox/pdmodel/edit/PDPageContentStream
at the line of code:
BaseTable table = new BaseTable(yStart,yStartNewPage, bottomMargin, tableWidth, margin, doc, page, true, drawContent);
Here is a part from pom.xml, describing the dependencies that I am using:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.pdfbox</groupId>
<artifactId>pdfbox</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.dhorions</groupId>
<artifactId>boxable</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
Is there a bug in current version of dependencies or am I missing something?
Thank you very much for any help.

Remove this:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.pdfbox</groupId>
<artifactId>pdfbox</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
2.0 is an unreleased version and is in development, and it has a different API. Boxable has its dependencies in its own pom.xml, it is currently requesting 1.8.8. (Which is not the latest version, but I don't think this matters for simple PDF creation)

Missing artifact com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:bundle:2.9.8

Working with Jackson library, it came following error in Eclipse 4.9.0 version
Missing artifact com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:bundle:2.9.6 pom.xml /Jackson-Usage line 7 Maven Dependency Problem
The problem came when I added maven dependencies by GUI to add dependencies.
The solution was from generated dependencies
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
<version>2.9.8</version>
<type>bundle</type>
</dependency>
to remove and save.
<type>bundle</type>
xml
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
<version>2.9.9</version>
<type>bundle</type>
</dependency>
Remove bundle and that should resolve the error code in eclipse.

How to easily upgrade Karate Version?

I would like to upgrade to Karate 0.9.0 which is released recently. How can i do this easily. My existing .pom file contains many dependencies in 0.8.0 version. Should i replace each with updated one? Or, is there a better way to do this?
And again, i can see many RC versions of dependencies in maven repository which one's stable?
And, Finally, Is there any separate dependency for KarateOptions? Because, I was using 0.8.0 and was not able to find any dependency jars for this.
This is actually a maven question. But yes the recommended practice is to define a maven "property" once and then use it in the multiple places.
I'm surprised, because at the max you should have only 2.
<properties>
<karate.version>0.9.0</karate.version>
</properties>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.intuit.karate</groupId>
<artifactId>karate-apache</artifactId>
<version>${karate.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.intuit.karate</groupId>
<artifactId>karate-junit4</artifactId>
<version>${karate.version}</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
And yes, KarateOptions is new in 0.9.0 - please read the release notes carefully and you don't even need to change that immediately when you upgrade: https://github.com/intuit/karate/releases/tag/v0.9.0

JUnit and WebDriver by IntelliJ IDEA

Im working in IntelliJ and need to add dependency's to Selenum WebDriver and Junit.
I already added the jars (as mentioned in all possible tutorial) to my Project lib.
I can also see them in the project view - Selenium-java-2.39.0.jar, Selenium-java-2.39.0.srcs.jar, Selenium-server-standalone-2.39.0.jar AND junit-4.11.jar
Nevertheless, my project can not recognized this items (for example
import org.openqa.selenium.;
import static org.junit.Assert.;
Any ideas?
I would recommend investing some time learning about some dependency management solutions. Here are my top two selections:
Maven
Ivy
If using maven, you'd have a pom.xml in your project and you'd have something like:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-chrome-driver</artifactId>
<version>${selenium_version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-htmlunit-driver</artifactId>
<version>${selenium_version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-firefox-driver</artifactId>
<version>${selenium_version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-safari-driver</artifactId>
<version>${selenium_version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-ie-driver</artifactId>
<version>${selenium_version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-support</artifactId>
<version>${selenium_version}</version>
</dependency>
...
</dependencies>
Ivy is very similar, but i won't get into it. If you need a project to get you started, you can check out this project (download here) which is used by Major League Gaming for their selenium framework
I agree, you should invest in a dependency management solution, but if you are not forced to use maven, try gradle.
It is way lighter and flexible...
In that case, my dependencies are resume to 1 line:
compile "org.gebish:geb-spock:0.9.2", "org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-firefox-driver:2.39.0", "org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-support:2.39.0"
I agree, I could add a second line with a property for the selenium version.
Gradle is really well supported by intellij Idea.
enjoy

Using Cucumber with IntelliJ

Does anyone knows why 'Cucumber Java' does not appear in "Edit Configurations -> Defaults -> ???? even though my pom file as downloaded the dependency i.e. cucumber-java (1.1.5)
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
<artifactId>cucumber-core</artifactId>
<version>1.1.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
<artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
<version>1.1.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>info.cukes</groupId>
<artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>
<version>1.1.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-server</artifactId>
<version>2.38.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Pom.xml file is used to install all the necessary plugins i.e. cucumber for java plugin
Make sure you have installed and enabled the Cucumber for Java plugin from the JetBrains plugin repository.
Look in the File -> Settings...
And you cannot install plugins into IDEA via Maven.
Just to add on top of the Answer by- Eugene.
While searching for Cucumber plugin, under File>Settings>plugins of Intellij you might not be able to see any Plugin available for cucumber and this is very weird issue for IntelliJ on windows.. troubled me for Hours..
But to solve it- we just have to click on 'Search in repositories' link as displayed on search panel. This will show all available stuff and you can select Cucumber for Java(or whatever).

Can anyone give a good example of using org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli programmatically?

I'm trying to create an intelliJ plugin that needs to execute maven targets on the current project. All the talk in the intertubes recommends using the MavenEmbedder. Good luck with that. The 2.0.4 version isn't well supported and there are no references for how to use it.
I gave it a whirl and ran into a wall where the embedder had not been initialized with all the fields it needs. Reflective private member injection? Awesome! Why would anyone need an obvious way to initialize an object?
It seems a few people are using a 2.1 version with some success. I have been unable to find that in a jar or even sources.
I went and checked out the 3.0 version of the embedder project: http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0-beta-3/maven-embedder/ It does away with the MavenEmbedder object all together and seems to only support access through the main or doMain methods on MavenCli. Has anyone used these methods and can give some advice?
Yeah, the's not much in the way of documentation of MavenCli. The API is significatly simpler but i'd still like some examples. Here's one that works...
MavenCli cli = new MavenCli();
int result = cli.doMain(new String[]{"compile"},
"/home/aioffe/workspace/MiscMaven",
System.out, System.out);
System.out.println("result: " + result);
It takes a dir and runs the 'compile' phase...

The dependency matrix information for provided scopes and dynamically acquired components can be a bit confusing. It was for me, since it appeared to me that I got all the required items by direct or transitive dependency, but then remote resolution didn't work.
I wanted to jump to Maven 3.3.3 (latest as of 2015-05-25). I got it working without the sisu errors that presented when I tried to optimistically update to current versions of things specified here (and elsewhere). This is a project with a tag that worked with the example specified as of today using JDK8.

Running this is:

mvn exec:java
Probably should have made it a unit test of some sort.
If someone has a superior solution for embedded Maven 3.3.3 (i.e. came up with a smaller or more range-oriented set of required dependencies), please post them.
to build on the comment from #StevePerkins, and using maven version 3.1.0,
I had to exclude the transitive dependency from aether-connector-wagon to wagon-provider-api to get it working.
pom.xml:
(...)
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-embedder</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.aether</groupId>
<artifactId>aether-connector-wagon</artifactId>
<version>0.9.0.M2</version>
<scope>test</scope>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.wagon</groupId>
<artifactId>wagon-provider-api</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.wagon</groupId>
<artifactId>wagon-http</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
(...)
and here is a java example:
(...)
MavenCli cli = new MavenCli();
ByteArrayOutputStream baosOut = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ByteArrayOutputStream baosErr = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PrintStream out = new PrintStream(baosOut, true);
PrintStream err = new PrintStream(baosErr, true);
cli.doMain( new String[] { "clean" }, new File("."), out, err );
String stdout = baosOut.toString("UTF-8");
String stderr = baosErr.toString("UTF-8");
(...)
full example here
There is a dependency matrix for each version of maven-embedder, e.g. for 3.2.5: http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.2.5/maven-embedder/dependencies.html
Based on that I had to use org.apache.maven:maven-embedder:jar:3.2.5, org.apache.maven:maven-aether-provider:jar:3.2.5, and org.apache.maven.wagon:wagon-provider-api:jar:2.8.
It also fixes dependency on very old Guava library, since this version uses 18.0.
