Manually Install Dependency to Archiva Managed Repository

[Cameron Jones <cm...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

How do i go about manually installing a dependency to archiva? I've
got javax.transaction.jta version 1.1 which isn't in any controlled
repository but a necessary part of my project, i can install it into
the local repositories but wanted to have it centrally controlled
through a proxied repo.

Thanks,
Cam

I believe for jta, the zip file is the "jar", so can just be deployed
as is (with -Dpackaging=jar).

As for the POM - the default created should be fine, or the one you
get from the central repo is good too.

When you deploy the jar, by default Maven will generate a minimal pom
(just artifactId, groupId, version, etc.)

Is there a jar inside that zip file?  Or should it be renamed as .jar?

Great, that was exactly what i was looking for.

Run into a new problem now in that jta 1.1 is only a zip file and
contains no pom... am i right in thinking i would have to write my own
pom to get it in the repo?

The easiest way is to 'mvn deploy:deploy-file ...' from the filesystem
on the repo server.  Then you can use a file:// url and not worry
about permissions.

You can also deploy to a remote repo using webdav.  There are some
notes here:  http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Upload+artifacts
