[internal-repository] How to use relative path in the declaration of repository

[NGUYEN Cong Kinh <co...@it-sudparis.eu>]

Hi everybody,

I have a problem with deploying an internal repository. In fact, I have 
some modules as the following:
- module A
    + module A1
          + module A11
                + pom.xml
                + src
                + libs
          + module A12
    + module A2


In the module A11, I use some libraries and they are stored in the 
'libs' directory. One of them, for example the library "B". I created 
the structure of directory 
(groupId/actifactId/version/artifactId-version) so that I ready deploy 
the library "B" from the 'libs' directory. In the pom.xml, I declared below:

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>private-cosmos-B</id>
      <url>file:${basedir}/libs</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>


But it seems to me that Maven can't understand the usage of ${basedir} 
in this context. In fact, the relative path is important so that I can 
compile my modules from the module A. Could anyone help me to solve my 
problem?

Thanks in advance,
Kinh

The problem you aren't aware of is that if you like to use a file based URL
you have to do it like this:


<url>file://${basedir}/libs</url>

But i would recommend to follow the recomandations of the other post.

Kind regards

I don't understand. You say you have a problem with an internal repo and
that you have deploy the library 'B', but the module structure and the
repositories element you're outlining talkes about your local file system
structure.

This is what you should do:
1. Get yourself an internal remote repo. This is easiest managed by using a
repo manager like Nexus.
2. Deploy the third party lib 'B' (which I assume doesn't exist in central
for instance) to your internal repo.
3. Set up your Maven environment to use your internal repo (there are loads
of docs about that on the Internet).
4. Remove the repositories section which points at your local file syste,
5. You should be all set to use Maven the way it is meant to be used.
