maven: How to include third party library to existing maven project

[Komal Agrawal <ko...@gmail.com>]

Hello there,

I want to include external jar to my existing maven project. I used
following command to install it to local maven repository:

mvn -e install:install
-Dfile="D:\test\com.project.MyApp.externalLib-1.0.jar" -DgroupId=com.project
-DartifactId=MyApp -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar

and got following exception:

org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: The packaging for
this p
roject did not assign a file to the build artifact

at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.executeGoals(Defa
ultLifecycleExecutor.java:719)

What needs to be done in this case ? I am not getting any useful articles on
internet as well.

Basic question : It "should" be possible to add a third party non maven
library to a maven project. Is this correct ?

Also, what can I check to have this working ? Its very urgent for me , any
help is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Komal

You need to use install:install-file
