I am trying to build a JAVA based Azure function that has a maven jar dependency of json simple 1.1.1
I have added the MAVEN dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.googlecode.json-simple</groupId>
<artifactId>json-simple</artifactId>
<version>1.1.1</version>
</dependency>
in the POM and when I build the code using mvn clean package, I am getting the below error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.microsoft.azure:azure-functions-maven-plugin:0.1.7:package (package-functions) on project oktaAPI: Execution package-functions of goal com.microsoft.azure:azure-functions-maven-plugin:0.1.7:package failed: A required class was missing while executing com.microsoft.azure:azure-functions-maven-plugin:0.1.7:package: org/json/simple/JSONObject
[ERROR] -----------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] realm = plugin>com.microsoft.azure:azure-functions-maven-plugin:0.1.7
I have tried mvn clean and mvn clean install commands but to no use. I also tried deleteing the .m2 folder and build the function again, but the issue persists.
