Is maven so inflexible?
Hello,
Fisrt I used to love maven, at this moment I'm not sure.
I have a folder with a bunch of jars+wsdls+properties that need to be in the
class path for my project compile in maven. How I do that without having to
deploy each jar to the local repository or a remote repository? How do I
deal with the wsdl files?

I think the maven-dependency-plugin is probably what you need to use, in
this case.

Here's the scenario
I have a the Alfresco SDK which depends on a lot of libraries, some of them
I can find in the standard repos, others I don't. I wish that the SDK was
made of only of one Jar wit no dependencies. I know that someone have their
public repo with alfresco sdk, but I need different versions which could not
be found on their repo.
Now, my aproach is to have the jars, which I cannot find in any public repo,
deployed to my own repo then use them as dependencies... But I'm lazzy and
this consumes time :)
Regarding the wsdls, I'll put them in a jar as suggested.
thanks for your help, and I understand that Maven dependency management is
the correct one... I used Ant for +4 years and I know the problems...
thank you

can you use jaxws-maven-plugin to manage your wsdl files?

Are the jars part of the project, or are they artifacts that you depend
on? That seems to be a large part of what you may need to change. If
the jars are artifacts that can be found in a standard repository, just
mark them up as dependencies. If they are generated by your project,
they should end up in the reactor when you build. Why you would have
them in a directory in your project is something of a mystery to me, but
I suppose there are always exceptions to the rule.
Properties files can easily be put into the src/main/resources directory
and will end up in the classpath by default. I'm afraid I can't speak
for the WSDL.

IMO, you don't. The best thing about Maven is that it brings order to the chaos that came before it, with respect to orderly management of dependencies. The existence of free-floating jars in a folder somewhere is exactly the sort of chaos that Maven was designed to bring order to. Deploy them to a repository.

Put them in a jar and deploy them to a repository? Seriously. If you need them to compile your project, then your project depends on them. Maven provides ways to declare and manage such a relationship. Why not use it, rather than seek to bypass it?
