Help with getting plugins

["Tsao, L (Lewis)" <Le...@rabobank.com>]

I am trying to download Maven plugins manually and need some help.

Reason for doing this is because I am behind a very tight company firewall where downloads are highly controlled. Maven auto download of plugins is not possible.

I have found some of the documents on setting up local repositories etc but it is not very clear how to set it up and dir structures.

The "Definitive Guide" also mentions that plugins will be downloaded into the ".m2" directory, but it does not say what directory structure.

For example, in the Maven repository org/apache/maven/plugins/xxx/... etc, the plugins are in directories with version names. Are these necessary in the .m2 or local repository? What about the xml files?

Your help would be most appreciated.

The following text is copied from:
http://maven.apache.org/general.html#importing-jars

If you understand the layout of the maven repository, you can copy the
jar directly into where it is meant to go. Maven will find this file
next time it is run.

If you are not confident about the layout of the maven repository, then
you can adapt the following command to load in your jar file, all on one
line.

mvn install:install-file
  -Dfile=<path-to-file>
  -DgroupId=<group-id>
  -DartifactId=<artifact-id>
  -Dversion=<version>
  -Dpackaging=<packaging>
  -DgeneratePom=true

Where: <path-to-file>  the path to the file to load
       <group-id>      the group that the file should be registered
under
       <artifact-id>   the artifact name for the file
       <version>       the version of the file
       <packaging>     the packaging of the file e.g. jar
     

This should load in the file into the maven repository, renaming it as
needed.
