How to specify local jars as dependencies?
Hi,
I'm currently updating a code generator product to generate maven build
scripts as an alternative to Ant build scripts. Most of the dependencies in
the generated java code are open source jars and I can use the maven
<dependency> tags for those. However, the generated code also has
dependencies on commercial jars (such as Oracle JDBC drivers) that can not
go into a public maven repository and that I cannot distribute with my
product. The user will already have these jars locally.
How can I tell maven to put these local jars on the classpath when compiling
java code without using the dependency mechanism? I don't want to force
users to set up their own local repositories or to have to run maven
commands to install the jars in a local repository.
Thanks,
Andy.

Might want to start a new thread, this seems unrelated to the OP's
need to refer to dependencies w/o installing them in the local repo.
The publicly accessible location is the central repo:
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2, but I'm sure you knew that already.
You can't guarantee "ALL" -- people are free to set up their own
repos. OpenSymphony comes to mind, I don't think all of their stuff
is in central.
What is the problem you're trying to solve?

this answers how to specify groupId, artifactId and version which can be
passed to mvn via command line as
mvn -DgroupId=org.package -DartifactId=comercial-jar -Dversion=9.0
<groupId>org.package</groupId>
<artifactId>comercial-jar</artifactId>
<version>9.0</version>
I've been looking for a way to specify a location that is guaranteed to
contain
PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE LOCATION for ALL MAVEN2 PLUGINS
Failing that.. is there a way to gain access to the plugins individually so
we can d/l them to local drives ?
Thanks
Martin-

Greetings,
~ We are doing almost the same thing using the dependency mechanism
system that way the artifact is not looked up in the repository, instead
it needs to be included in the runtime class path:
<dependencies>
~ <groupId>org.package</groupId>
~ <artifactId>comercial-jar</artifactId>
~ <version>9.0</version>
~ <scope>system</scope>
</dependencies>
here is a complete reference for the dependency mechanism:

Hope this helps,
Angel.
