How-to use a lib directory instead of the repository
All,
I have a lot of libs which are not in the repository (central) each of them
depending on a whole bunch of other libs, and manually putting them in the
internal repository is really a lot of work, type-work :-) because all the
dependencies have to be declared manually. So instead I want to make use of
a lib directory instead of retrieving all my jar from the repository.
How can this be accomplished with Maven?

RE : How-to use a lib directory instead of the repository
Posted by "Deneux, Christophe" <ch...@capgemini.com>.
Hi,
To do that, you must use a private repository. A private repository has the same directory tree than your local repository ($HOME/.me/repository), and is located in your project. It is declared in your pom into the section <repositories> and/or <pluginRepositories>. Its URL is a file based URL.
Moreover, in a multomodule project you will define the property "topDirectoryLocation"
Example:
<repository>
<id>private</id>
<name>Private Repository</name>
<url>
file:${basedir}/${topDirectoryLocation}/etc/maven/private-repository
</url>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>

What I do is to setup a remote repository using the "file:" protocol and
${basedir} to point to a nested folder:
<repository>
<id>local-mime4j-stage-repository</id>
<name>Local mime4j stage repository</name>
<!-- Please note that due to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2896 -->
<!-- If you don't have james-project checked out in ../james-project -->
<!-- you will have to place your absolute path to the project instead -->
<!-- of ${basedir}, or, otherwise, manually install the parent poms -->
<!--
mvn -fignorepom.xml install:install-file
-Dfile=stage\org.apache.james\poms\james-parent-1.1.pom
-Dpackaging=pom
-DgroupId=org.apache.james
-DartifactId=james-parent
-Dversion=1.1
mvn -fignorepom.xml install:install-file
-Dfile=stage\org.apache.james\poms\james-project-1.1.pom
-Dpackaging=pom
-DgroupId=org.apache.james
-DartifactId=james-project
-Dversion=1.1
-->
<url>file://${basedir}/stage</url>
<layout>legacy</layout>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<checksumPolicy>ignore</checksumPolicy>
</snapshots>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<checksumPolicy>ignore</checksumPolicy>
</releases>
</repository>
Then I place my jars/poms in stage/groupId/jars/artifactId-version.jar
and stage/groupId/poms/artifactId-version.pom and so on.
This does not work correctly in multi module builds, but it fixed my
needs ATM.
HTH,
Stefano

To not have them in the repo, you could look at
<dependency> <scope> of system, and set <systemPath>.
You will still have to declare each dependency. It is a
Maven tenet to declare all dependencies.
If your situation allows sharing the dep list across
projects, a parent pom could contain some/all of the deps.
This would ease the pain of dupe deps across components.

Re: How-to use a lib directory instead of the repository
Posted by Wayne Fay <wa...@gmail.com>.
If its really that much work, you could merge all your jars into a
single huge jar, then you only have one jar to install and one
dependency to add to your pom.xml files.
But more seriously, Maven does not have the ability to utilize jars in
lib folders. The only way it gets dependencies is via the <dependency>
node in the pom.xml file, which requires that your artifacts be
installed in a Maven repository.
A while back, someone wrote a little shell script which installed all
jars in a directory with a standard groupId and version (and utilized
the file name as the artifactId), and then produced a report at the
end with all the <dependency> nodes for all the artifacts just
installed. They sent the script to this email list, so if you search
Nabble or Google, you should probably be able to find it.

I dont think u can do that.
Maven uses repository (groupId + artifactID) to find urs dependencies, its
not that hard to create them using maven install command line.
U should try.
