Unable to build project from sources using Maven 3.6.1 in MacOS

[eltonfss]

I'm trying to build BigDAWG from sources using the instructions at BUILDING.md.

My environment configurations are:

Maven home: /opt/apache-maven-3.6.1
Java version: 1.8.0_241, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_241.jdk/Contents/Home/jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "mac os x", version: "10.15.3", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"

I was able to download Vertica JDBC Driver and install it using the information provided in the document. Here's the output of the jar installation.

 mvn install:install-file -Dfile=$HOME/Downloads/vertica-jdbc-8.0.1-6.jar -DgroupId=com.vertica -DartifactId=vjdbc8 -Dversion=8.0.1 -Dpackaging=jar

However, when try to execute the next step of the maven setup I get an error indicating that the dependencies required could not be found:

I've tried to make some changes in the pom.xml file which seems to have solved the problem partially, but I'm still unable to execute this step successfully. The changes were:

• Add <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.neo4j/neo4j-jdbc --> in line 153
• Replace <url>http://central.maven.org/maven2/</url> by <url>https://mvnrepository.com/</url> in line 283.

After making those changes the error changed to:

Is this problem related to my environment configuration? Would there be any way to be able to build BigDAWG from sources using MacOS?

@eltonfss It looks like the Neo4j driver may have moved or been updated.

I will try to take a peak and submit a PR if appropriate.
