Maven local repository by default get created by Maven in %USER_HOME% directory. It helps to avoid references to dependencies stored on remote machine every time a project is build.
When you run a Maven build, then Maven automatically downloads all the dependency jars into the local repository. Maven local repository keeps your project's all dependencies (library jars, plugin jars etc.). It gets created when you run any maven command for the first time. Maven local repository is a folder location on your machine. The following illustration will give an idea regarding these three types. Then, add the class-path for your system dependency manually like this libs/my-library-1.0.In Maven terminology, a repository is a directory where all the project jars, library jar, plugins or any other project specific artifacts are stored and can be used by Maven easily. This is working for me: Let’s say I have this dependency To install more than one file, just add more executions. The meat of the pom.xml is in the build section where the maven-install-plugin is used. The pom packaging prevents this from doing any tests or compile or generating any jar file. The following are some snippets of the pom.xml file. The repository/pom.xml file will then contain the definitions to load up the JARs that are part of your project. You multi-module project pom.xml would look like this: pom For this to work, you need to set up a multi-module project and have a new project representing the build to install files into the local repository and ensure that one is first. It also allows the file to reside anywhere in the project without fixing the names or following the maven repository structure. This also reduces the setup work by creating the POM and the SHA1 files as part of the build. This will get around the limit when using multi-module builds especially if the downloaded JAR is referenced in child projects outside of the parent. This is another method in addition to my previous answer at Can I add jars to maven 2 build classpath without installing them? Now, I have to mention that the “right way” to deal with this situation in a corporate environment (maybe not the case here) would be to use a corporate repository. it will be included in an assembly and so on). This is IMHO a better solution than using a system scope as your dependency will be treated like a good citizen (e.g. So use the fully qualified name of the plugin to specify the version: mvn :maven-install-plugin:2.3.1:install-file \įinally, declare it like any other dependency (but without the system scope): However, it works with version 2.3 and later of the plugin. Update: It appears that install:install-file ignores the localRepositoryPath when using the version 2.2 of the plugin. Mvn install:install-file -Dfile= -DgroupId= \ Install your third party lib in there using install:install-file with the localRepositoryPath parameter: So, instead, declare a repository local to the project: in assembly), they cause more troubles than benefits. The system scoped should be avoided, such dependencies don’t work well in many situation (e.g.
If you really want this (understand, if you can’t use a corporate repository), then my advice would be to use a “file repository” local to the project and to not use a system scoped dependency. I want the jar to be in a 3rdparty lib in source control, and link to it by relative path from the pom.xml file.
