Maven and 3rd Party Libraries
Hello all,
I am having some problems with Maven right now.
Just to give some background. I currently have installed all of Taverna's (A workflow management system that uses Maven) classes into the Maven repository and I am able to use them no problem.
For one of my programs, I would like to use Taverna's class and also another external library called Jakarta POI (able to manipulate Excel from Java). The thing is the POI downloads do not come in a maven format and make it different to install them into the repository easily. So instead, I have imported them as external jars in eclipse.
>From there, I want to install my program as a Taverna Artifact into the library, but when installing I get the maven errors that it can't find the POI classes. I am assuming it is because the POI are not artifacts in the repository...
I was just wondering whether there was a way to use external libraries without having to install them into the maven repository.

Good day,
Kindly take a look at [1]. You will see there the dependency tag and the
scope and systemPath elements Eric mentioned.
Cheers,

Yes. Search the list archives (at Nabble.com) for more information, or
the Maven site itself; there are several examples available.

Sorry you'll have to excuse my ignorance as I am still new to Maven.
But when you say "set the 'scope' of the jar as 'system' in dependency, then set 'systemPath' to the path of the jar."
Do you mean setting the properties in the pom.xml of the project?
Thanks,
Fong

It's not usually desired, but you can set the "scope" of the jar as "system"
in dependency, then set "systemPath" to the path of the jar.

Finding the right groupId and artifactId for your dependencies is a bit
hard but for POI take a look at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/poi/poi/.
I used it in a previous project just fine.
If the .jar you want to use is not available in any public repo the only
option you have is to either import it into your local repo or setup
your own repository.
