Issue in dependency resolution to zip file (having muliple jars)
I have a Project A (util_common) which is a multi-module project which
generates a zip file during its assembly (which contains all its sub-module
jars) and i installed it in the local repository using
install:install-file.
Now, I want to add dependency to Project A (util_common) zip file in the
Project B pom file.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.proj.risk</groupId>
<artifactId>util_common</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>zip</type>
</dependency>
However, the dependency to the jar files inside the util_common zip file is
not getting resolved from Project B.
I tried unpack all the jar files during the assembly phase, so that zip
file contains the sources of jar files rather individual jar files. But, it
did not work.
I think the problem might be due to some classpath issue while referencing,
though not sure.
I would like to know if this is possible in maven? If so, how?
Thanks in advance, Murali

Murali,
One way to solve this problem is to create a pom instead of a zip.
The pom will have all the dependencies on your JARs.
Then, project B can include a dependency to the pom project to get all
of the JARs (transitively) in the classpath when building.

Thanks Nicole. This works for me now using the transitive dependecies as
suggested you and Olivier - so no need to create a zip. Actually we have
multiple projects (X, Y, Z etc..) which need to depend on Project A
(util_common) and each one might need to depend on different version of
Project A. As I mentioned before Project A contains mulitple sub-projects
(jars) which we want to represent as a single artifact (zip file) rather
each project directly referencing sub-project jars.
I think this might be best solution design wise for this problem. Let know
if you feel otherwise.
Thanks, Murali

I think you need to also install the jars of the sub-modules in the local
repository. Then you can either depend directly on the sub-modules in
Project B. Or better yet make a new sub-project of Project A that makes the
zip, leaving Project A to be just an aggregate pom. This new sub project
must depend on the submodules it zips, so depending on it will then you'll
get the transitive dependencies. Is there a good reason that you are
creating the zip?
