Java dependencies issue

[xtello]

Hello,

I'm trying to use XGBoost in our Java app (Java 17) using Maven (i initially needed to use Gradle but the issue is worse there). When i build, i get the error:

Could not resolve dependencies for project com.example:test-maven:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at ml.dmlc:xgboost4j_2.13:jar:2.0.2: Failed to read artifact descriptor for ml.dmlc:xgboost4j_2.13:jar:2.0.2: The following artifacts could not be resolved: ml.dmlc:xgboost-jvm_${scala.binary.version}:pom:2.0.2 (absent): ml.dmlc:xgboost-jvm_${scala.binary.version}:pom:2.0.2 was not found in https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2

Maven config i use:

    <properties>
        <scala.binary.version>2.13</scala.binary.version>
        <!--  <scala.binary.version>2.11</scala.binary.version>-->
    </properties>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>ml.dmlc</groupId>
            <artifactId>xgboost4j_${scala.binary.version}</artifactId>
            <version>2.0.2</version>
            <!--  <version>1.1.2</version>  builds with scala binary 2.11 but dynamic lib NOT built for Apple silicon  -->
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>ml.dmlc</groupId>
            <artifactId>xgboost4j-spark_${scala.binary.version}</artifactId>
            <!--  <version>1.1.2</version>-->
            <version>2.0.2</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

The issue seems to be in https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/ml/dmlc/xgboost4j_2.13/2.0.2/xgboost4j_2.13-2.0.2.pom where the Maven can't seem to expand variable ${scala.binary.version} in this external POM even if i declare it in my POM

Thanks in advance!

Same problem with SBT on Scala 2.13. Using version 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT fixed it (although I still had to exclude some transitive 2.12 dependencies).

The issue has been fixed in the latest patch release (2.0.3).
