Dependencies not available in a Maven repository (disabling repository check)

[Ryan Cuprak <rc...@mac.com>]

Hello,
  I've got a bunch of dependencies from some open source projects  
which are not available in a central Maven repository. Until those  
projects some day publish them to a repository I do a 'mvn install '  
to populate my local repository. I noticed that every time I do a  
build Maven checks for those dependencies in a central repository. Is  
it possible to disable this behavior? Every once in a while I also get  
an error message that it couldn't find the dependency in a repository.
  BTW: Is this the recommended approach or is it possible to specify  
the location of the dependencies locally in a project specific lib  
directory?

Thanks,
-Ryan

The recommended approach is to use an internal repository for your team.
You can do this with a repo manager like Nexus. See the thread this
weekend on "Third Party Jars" it covers this in more detail.

I'll second Brian's advice to establish an internal repository using
one of the repository managers.

But it's probably checking for the pom, not the artifact.  When you do
mvn install, add -DgeneratePom=true and see if the behavior continues.
