#20054 experimental.codegen.protobuf.java requesting outdated tomcat annotations api dependency Issue created by afeneri Describe the bug When using the

pants.backend.experimental.codegen.protobuf.java

, the backend requests that the user declares

org.apache.tomcat.annotations-api

as a dependency.

MissingRequiredJvmArtifactsInResolve: The JVM resolve `jvm-default` is missing one or more requirements for the Protobuf Java gRPC runtime. Since at least one JVM target type in this repository consumes a `protobuf_sources` target in this resolve, this resolve must contain `jvm_artifact` targets for each requirement of the Protobuf Java gRPC runtime.

Please add the following `jvm_artifact` target(s) somewhere in the repository and re-run `pants generate-lockfiles --resolve=jvm-default`:

jvm_artifact(
  name="org.apache.tomcat_annotations-api",
  group="org.apache.tomcat",
  artifact="annotations-api",
  version="<your preferred runtime version>",
  resolve="jvm-default",
)

The Maven coordinate

annotations-api

points to an artifact that has not been updated since 2017 because the artifact has moved. See https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.tomcat/annotations-api The correct artifact coordinate should be

tomcat-annotations-api

- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat-annotations-api

jvm_artifact(
  name="org.apache.tomcat_annotations-api",
  group="org.apache.tomcat",
  artifact="tomcat-annotations-api",
  version="<your preferred runtime version>",
  resolve="jvm-default",
)

The backed does not let you generate protobuf sources unless you explicitly declare the old

annotations-api

dependency. Pants version Which version of Pants are you using? 2.17.0 OS Are you encountering the bug on MacOS, Linux, or both? Both Additional info Add any other information about the problem here, such as attachments or links to gists, if relevant. pantsbuild/pants
