Can I create folder Dependency?

[srikanta03 <sr...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I am new for Maven; I have a question:

Can I create folder Dependency in Maven? without installing the jar
(dependency)?

I have a legacy ant project, i have tried to convert it into maven project,
but in my project we do have the dependency of the tomcat lib which have
around 100+ jars and the mater of the fact is that I can't change the jar or
jar version.

If anyone have the option/answer it will be relay helpful for my project.

Regards,
Srikanta

I use this, make-maven-files.sh to build a runtime-library.pom file, which
is a consolidation pom of all jars within the folder from which it is run.

#!/bin/bash

# All you need to do is:
# 1. Edit the values below.
# 2. Copy this script into the dir with the jars in it (no nested dirs)
# 3. Run make-maven-files.sh.
# 4. Execute either maven-install.sh and/or maven-deploy.sh that were
generated by make-maven-files.sh

Questions like this should go to the Maven Users list. This list is
reserved for discussion of the development of Maven itself.

No. You will waste a lot of time going down this road. You only need
to install "all" those jars one time (assuming you have a Repo
Manager, you'll use "mvn deploy:deploy-file" otherwise you'll need to
"mvn install:install-file" them on each developer's machine) and write
the <dependency> stanzas once. Then you can reuse that work in your
various projects. Bite the bullet and do it now. 100 jars is not too
bad. If you do it the right way, I bet you'll find a lot of them are
open source and already hosted in Central.
