how to include a local jar in compile path

hi there,

if i have a file in the directory <project_home>/lib/foo.jar that i want to
use in my compilation. how can i do it? i tried to specify a system
dependency but then i was required to give the absolute path. but this
<project_home> really is just the working directory root which is different
on each developer's machine. could someone help me out? there got to be a
simpler approach. (i dont want to set up a local repository. i just simply
want to include a third party jar during compilation.)

thanks a lot.

take advantage of ${basedir} which is the directory that hosts your pom.xml

Seems to me, the best approach is install file in local repository. Search
for install:install-file in Maven docs.

Kind Regards.
