Hi All,
Thanks Joe for this great article.
In case anyone needs the pom.xml at one place:

4.0.0

RFTEST
RFTEST2
0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
jar

RFTEST2
http://maven.apache.org

UTF-8

org.robotframework
robotframework-maven-plugin
1.7.1

run

com.github.hi-fi
robotframework-seleniumlibrary
3.141.59.26535
test

org.python
jython-slim
2.7.2

junit
junit
3.8.1
test

Note:
I was facing an error like below and found a workaround for the same:

Failed to execute goal org.robotframework:robotframework-maven-plugin:1.4.6:run (default-cli) on project JavaRobot: Execution default-cli of goal org.robotframework:robotframework-maven-plugin:1.4.6:run failed: Plugin org.robotframework:robotframework-maven-plugin:1.4.6 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Could not find artifact com.sun:tools:jar:6 at specified path C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_101/../lib/tools.jar -> [Help 1]

Workaround 1(which worked for me):
Goto your Eclipse folder >>Eclipse configuration settings file and add the following before vmargs:

-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_66\bin\javaw.exe

Workaround 2(I found on the internet):
Add an exclusion tag to your selenium library dependency as below:

com.github.markusbernhardt
robotframework-selenium2library-java
1.4.0.7
test

tools
com.sun

Thanks for the article.

When I am running the same test, I am getting below exception:-

As I need to run this using Java then why this is throwing exception regarding python.

In reply to Sagar. This looks like a maven issue. Sometime the .m2 folder gets corrupted. What happens if you delete the folder and rebuild your maven project?

Hi Joe,
Thanks for a such nice article. Very helpful indeed.
I am new to Robot Framework. I followed the steps listed in the article however keep getting following error while running the test.
Is there any pointer you can provide for resolution?
