Newbie question- 3rd party jars
After going through the book, I am trying to get one of our modules compile and package into jar. How do I include 3rd party Jars? Here is my directory structure and pom.xml
Seems to be very elementary but the examples I am coming across seems to be NOT real world cases.
Thank you for your help.
mymodule-
-doc (not to be included in jar)
-lib (has third party jars from 1. un-common vendors (say - somevendor.jar) ..AND
2. more common jars like xercesImpl.jar, log4j.jar
-src which has java sorce
-somedir (not to be included in built jar)
pom.xml-
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.tmobile.app</groupId>
<artifactId>MyModule</artifactId>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<name>MY Module </name>
<url>http://tempurl.com</url>
<build>
<sourceDirectory>./src</sourceDirectory>
</build>
</project>

If you haven't read "Better Builds With Maven" I suggest you start with
that. It's great and it's available as a free download:

<confused>
Maven is widely accepted. And it is an open source product from Apache
(ASF). What specifically is your problem?

Thank you all for your help.
I guess, I have to wait until Maven becomes more widely accepted and becomes as open source product as ant or similar apache packages.

You can but users will always have to manually install the artifacts
to their local repository. You can provide them with a batch file or
script for this.
Like what Wendy said, you'll benefit more though if you could setup an
internal repo.
With several environments and different network zones across which
builds are done (dev, QA, production), the transition from ANT to
Maven needs happen in more gradually to reduce the risk on quality of
the software delivery.
There are several projects that uses both Ant and Maven builds. They
could live along with each other so you're not obligated to overhaul
your projects in one go.

Although you could stick with your existing directory structure,
you'll benefit more if you'll follow the best practices that Maven
suggests. Like with the 3rd party jars, you can create a script to
regularly copy files into a Maven 2 directory structure (with Maven 2
POMs) and have it built there. Use this until you're comfortable with
your migration.

Thank you for quick response. Any way to do this by keeping lib directory? With several environments and different network zones across which builds are done (dev, QA, production), the transition from ANT to Maven needs happen in more gradually to reduce the risk on quality of the software delivery.
In other words, without changing any directory structure, can I use Maven for full enterprise level J2EE application with EAR, JAR and WAR with WebLogic EJBs?
Thanks,
Vipul

Normally you would install them in your local repository and then use
a <dependency> element in your pom. If you're working with other
developers, you'll probably want to establish an internal/corporate
repository so that each developer doesn't have to install them
individually.
Then you won't need that "lib" directory at all, the jars in your
local repository will be shared across all of your Maven-built
projects.
To include jars within a jar, I don't see a way to convince the jar
plugin to do it:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-jar-plugin/
but you can use the assembly plugin:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/

Both.
I would like them to be in the classpath and in jar as well.
