mavenizing someone else' libraries (in the form of jars of course)

[Frank Wilson <fa...@gmail.com>]

I'm trying to package someone else's library so that I can put it in
my maven repo and share it with my collegues.

I remember finding out how to do this on the maven website at one
point and thinking "I always wanted to know how to do that!". Months
later... I cannot find it.

Can anybody remind me what the plug-in I must use is? Or if
appropriate where I can find the general method?

Thanks,

Frank

You don't need to do anything to the jar, just deploy it as-is to your
internal remote repository.  You might want to write a pom for it, to
take advantage of transitive dependencies, but this is not required.

See:  http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/usage.html
(scroll down to the 'mvn deploy:deploy-file ...' example.)
