Re: How to specify local dependency in maven2

[Dipankar Ghosal <di...@globallogic.com>]

Hi,

Thanks for the replies.

Well this is what i did to get things going

<dependency>
  		   <groupId>portlet</groupId>
		   <artifactId>wp.struts.standard.framework</artifactId>
		    <version>1.0</version>
		    <scope>system</scope> 
		   
<systemPath>${basedir}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/wp.struts.standard.framework.jar</systemPath>    
	  </dependency>

I hope this is one way to tell maven to pick the jar from system path while
building.
