I am new to Liquibase. I have already included maven plugins and liquibase to my pom.xml however when i update liquibase using mvn liquibase:update I get this error:
No plugin found for prefix 'liquibase' in the current project and in the plugin groups [org.apache.maven.plugins, org.codehaus.mojo]
How can I fix this error so that when I type mvn liquibase:update it will run properly
Here are some of the dependencies that are in my pom.xml related to liquibase
<dependency>
<groupId>org.liquibase</groupId>
<artifactId>liquibase-core</artifactId>
</dependency>
<build>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
<configuration>
<useSystemClassLoader>false</useSystemClassLoader>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.liquibase</groupId>
<artifactId>liquibase-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.6.3</version>
<configuration>
<propertyFile>src/main/resources/liquibase.properties</propertyFile>
<promptOnNonLocalDatabase>false</promptOnNonLocalDatabase>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</build>
I don't think the problem is with liquibase plugin itself. It's more about maven prefixes.
Try executing: mvn org.liquibase:liquibase-maven-plugin:update
Also, check out this question.
Make sure you are in the right path when you are executing mvn liquibase:update command. And also try to run the command in a separate terminal like command prompt. In my case I'm using the terminal in IntelliJ IDEA when I had the problem but when I tried it in different terminal, it worked flawlessly.
In my case problem was in path. I was trying to start command c:\mvn.cmd liquibase:status from wrong folder.
Running from c:\projects\My_current_project\mvn liquibase:status works like a charm. c:\projects\My_current_project\ is folder, where pom.xml is.
In my case the issue was my pom is configured in such a way that the liquibase plugin is only defined under certain profiles which need to be passed in before the mvn liquibase:<your command here> gets run.
for example, if the pom.xml has a local profile and your liquibase plugin is ONLY defined under that profile, you should run something like mvn -P local liquibase:update in order for maven to pick up liquibase (since it's only defined in that profile)
I have a project with finalised version in pom files , lets say 12.3.45 .
I have built the code for this version some time ago already, all the built jars are in the local maven repo.
Then at some point I have run mvn clean, so all the target folders are being removed.
And now I want to execute some code, as quickly as possible, using mvn exec:java. Preferably without building anything, because why not? all the jars at some point were already built, and I know there were no code changes after that. How can I force maven to execute the code as fast as possible , not recompile anything, and just reuse the jars from the local repo?
Thanks.
If your artifacts are in a local or remote repository you can use them as dependencies.
You can use exec-maven-plugin's options includeProjectDependencies or includePluginDependencies to use them in java execution
https://www.mojohaus.org/exec-maven-plugin/java-mojo.html#includePluginDependencies. includeProjectDependencies option is enabled (true) by default.
You can execute exec-maven-plugin without building anything with mvn exec:java command
Instructions:
To run exec-maven-plugin you would need a main class to run. I assume you have one in your project. If you don't - you need to make a separate project with a main class.
Create a blank maven project.
In the project add exec-maven-plugin configuration. Set the mainClass
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<goals>
<goal>java</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<mainClass>pack.App</mainClass>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Include you artifacts as dependencies to the project
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>my.group</groupId>
<artifactId>myartifact</artifactId>
<version>12.3.45</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Run mvn exec:java to execute com.my.package.MyMainClass main class from my.group.myartifact artifact
Edits:
includeProjectDependencies option is enabled (true) by default
How do I add local jar files (not yet part of the Maven repository) directly in my project's library sources?
You can add local dependencies directly (as mentioned in build maven project with propriatery libraries included) like this:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sample</groupId>
<artifactId>sample</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/Name_Your_JAR.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
Update
In new releases this feature is marked as deprecated but still working and not removed yet ( You just see warning in the log during maven start). An issue is raised at maven group about this https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6523 ( You can participate and describe why this feature is helpful in some cases). I hope this feature remains there!
If you are asking me, as long as the feature is not removed, I use this to make dependency to only one naughty jar file in my project which is not fit in repository. If this feature is removed, well, there are lots of good answers here which I can chose from later!
Install the JAR into your local Maven repository (typically .m2 in your home folder) as follows:
mvn install:install-file \
-Dfile=<path-to-file> \
-DgroupId=<group-id> \
-DartifactId=<artifact-id> \
-Dversion=<version> \
-Dpackaging=<packaging> \
-DgeneratePom=true
Where each refers to:
<path-to-file>: the path to the file to load e.g → c:\kaptcha-2.3.jar
<group-id>: the group that the file should be registered under e.g → com.google.code
<artifact-id>: the artifact name for the file e.g → kaptcha
<version>: the version of the file e.g → 2.3
<packaging>: the packaging of the file e.g. → jar

Maven FAQ: I have a jar that I want to put into my local repository. How can I copy it in?
Maven Install Plugin Usage: The install:install-file goal
Firstly, I would like to give credit for this answer to an anonymous Stack Overflow user - I am pretty sure I've seen a similar answer here before - but now I cannot find it.
The best option for having local JAR files as a dependency is to create a local Maven repository. Such a repository is nothing more than a proper directory structure with pom files in it.
For my example:
I have my master project on ${master_project} location and subproject1 is on ${master_project}/${subproject1}.
Then I create a Maven repository in:
${master_project}/local-maven-repo.
In the pom file in subproject1 located at ${master_project}/${subproject1}/pom.xml, the repository needs to be specified which would take file path as a URL parameter:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>local-maven-repo</id>
<url>file:///${project.parent.basedir}/local-maven-repo</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
The dependency can be specified as for any other repository. This makes your pom repository independent. For instance, once the desired JAR is available in Maven central, you just need to delete it from your local repo and it will be pulled from the default repo.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
<artifactId>org.apache.felix.servicebinder</artifactId>
<version>0.9.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
The last but not least thing to do is to add the JAR file to local repository using -DlocalRepositoryPath switch like so:
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:2.5.2:install-file \
-Dfile=/some/path/on/my/local/filesystem/felix/servicebinder/target/org.apache.felix.servicebinder-0.9.0-SNAPSHOT.jar \
-DgroupId=org.apache.felix -DartifactId=org.apache.felix.servicebinder \
-Dversion=0.9.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar \
-DlocalRepositoryPath=${master_project}/local-maven-repo
Once the JAR file is installed, your Maven repo can be committed to a code repository, and the whole set-up is system independent. (Working example in GitHub).
I agree that having JARs committed to source code repo is not a good practice, but in real life, quick and dirty solutions are sometimes better than a full blown Nexus repo to host one JAR that you cannot publish.
Create a new folder, let's say local-maven-repo at the root of your Maven project.
Just add a local repo inside your <project> of your pom.xml:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>local-maven-repo</id>
<url>file:///${project.basedir}/local-maven-repo</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
Then for each external jar you want to install, go at the root of your project and execute:
mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=[GROUP] -DartifactId=[ARTIFACT] -Dversion=[VERS] -Durl=file:./local-maven-repo/ -DrepositoryId=local-maven-repo -DupdateReleaseInfo=true -Dfile=[FILE_PATH]
I'd like such solution - use maven-install-plugin in pom file:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>initialize</phase>
<goals>
<goal>install-file</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<file>lib/yourJar.jar</file>
<groupId>com.somegroup.id</groupId>
<artifactId>artefact-id</artifactId>
<version>x.y.z</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
In this case you can perform mvn initialize and jar will be installed in local maven repo. Now this jar is available during any maven step on this machine (do not forget to include this dependency as any other maven dependency in pom with <dependency></dependency> tag). It is also possible to bind jar install not to initialize step, but any other step you like.
The really quick and dirty way is to point to a local file, please note "system" is deprecated by now:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sample</groupId>
<artifactId>samplifact</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>C:\DEV\myfunnylib\yourJar.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
However this will only live on your machine (obviously), for sharing it usually makes sense to use a proper m2 archive (nexus/artifactory) or if you do not have any of these or don't want to set one up a local maven structured archive and configure a "repository" in your pom:
local:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>my-local-repo</id>
<url>file://C:/DEV//mymvnrepo</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
remote:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>my-remote-repo</id>
<url>http://192.168.0.1/whatever/mavenserver/youwant/repo</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
for this solution, a relative path is also possible using the basedir variable:
<url>file:${basedir}</url>
<dependency>
<groupId>group id name</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact name</artifactId>
<version>version number</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>jar location</systemPath>
</dependency>
Important part in dependency is:
${pom.basedir} (instead of just ${basedir})
<dependency>
<groupId>org.example</groupId>
<artifactId>example</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${pom.basedir}/src/lib/example.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
Add your own local JAR in POM file and use that in maven build.
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=path-to-jar -DgroupId=owngroupid -DartifactId=ownartifactid -Dversion=ownversion -Dpackaging=jar
For example:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=path-to-jar -DgroupId=com.decompiler -DartifactId=jd-core-java -Dversion=1.2 -Dpackaging=jar
Then add it to the POM like this:
Step 1: Configure the maven-install-plugin with the goal install-file in your pom.xml
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>install-external-non-maven-jar-MWS-Client-into-local-maven-repo</id>
<phase>clean</phase>
<configuration>
<repositoryLayout>default</repositoryLayout>
<groupId>com.amazonservices.mws</groupId>
<artifactId>mws-client</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<file>${project.basedir}/lib/MWSClientJavaRuntime-1.0.jar</file>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<generatePom>true</generatePom>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>install-file</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Make sure to edit the file path based on your actual file path (recommended is to place these external non-maven jars inside some folder, let's say lib, and place this lib folder inside your project so as to use project-specific relative path and avoid adding system specific absolute path.
If you have multiple external jars, just repeat the <execution> for other jars within the same maven-install-plugin.
Step 2: Once you have configured the maven-install-plugin as shown above in your pom.xml file, you have to use these jars in your pom.xml as usual:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.amazonservices.mws</groupId>
<artifactId>mws-client</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
Note that the maven-install-plugin only copies your external jars to your local .m2 maven repository. That's it. It doesn't automatically include these jars as maven dependencies to your project.
It's a minor point, but sometimes easy to miss.
One way is to upload it to your own Maven repository manager (such as Nexus). It's good practice to have an own repository manager anyway.
Another nice way I've recently seen is to include the Maven Install Plugin in your build lifecycle: You declare in the POM to install the files to the local repository. It's a little but small overhead and no manual step involved.
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-install-plugin/install-file-mojo.html
Of course you can add jars to that folder. But maybe it does not what you want to achieve...
If you need these jars for compilation, check this related question: Can I add jars to maven 2 build classpath without installing them?
Also, before anyone suggests it, do NOT use the system scope.
Another interesting case is when you want to have in your project private maven jars. You may want to keep the capabilities of Maven to resolve transitive dependencies. The solution is fairly easy.
Create a folder libs in your project
Add the following lines in your pom.xml file
<properties><local.repository.folder>${pom.basedir}/libs/</local.repository.folder>
</properties>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>local-maven-repository</id>
<url>file://${local.repository.folder}</url>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>
</repositories>
Open the .m2/repository folder and copy the directory structure of the project you want to import into the libs folder.
E.g. suppose you want to import the dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>com.mycompany.myproject</groupId>
<artifactId>myproject</artifactId>
<version>1.2.3</version>
</dependency>
Just go on .m2/repository and you will see the following folder
com/mycompany/myproject/1.2.3
Copy everything in your libs folder (again, including the folders under .m2/repository) and you are done.
Add local jar libraries, their sources and javadoc to a Maven project
If you have pre-compiled jar files with libraries, their sources and javadoc, then you can install them to your local Maven repository like this:
mvn install:install-file
-Dfile=awesomeapp-1.0.1.jar \
-DpomFile=awesomeapp-1.0.1.pom \
-Dsources=awesomeapp-1.0.1-sources.jar \
-Djavadoc=awesomeapp-1.0.1-javadoc.jar \
-DgroupId=com.example \
-DartifactId=awesomeapp \
-Dversion=1.0.1 \
-Dpackaging=jar
Then in your project you can use this libraries:
<!-- com.example -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>awesomeapp</artifactId>
<version>1.0.1</version>
</dependency>
See: maven-install-plugin usage.
Or you can build these libraries yourself with their sources and javadoc using maven-source-plugin and maven-javadoc-plugin, and then install them.
Example project: library
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"

Execute maven install goal:
mvn install
Check your local Maven repository:
~/.m2/repository/com/example/awesomeapp/1.0.1/
├─ _remote.repositories
├─ awesomeapp-1.0.1.jar
├─ awesomeapp-1.0.1.pom
├─ awesomeapp-1.0.1-javadoc.jar
└─ awesomeapp-1.0.1-sources.jar
Then you can use this library:
<!-- com.example -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>awesomeapp</artifactId>
<version>1.0.1</version>
</dependency>
command line :
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=c:\kaptcha-{version}.jar -DgroupId=com.google.code
-DartifactId=kaptcha -Dversion={version} -Dpackaging=jar
I think a better solution for this problem is to use maven-install-plugin to automatically install the files at install time. This is how I set it up for my project.
First, add the path (where you store the local .jars) as a property.
<properties>
<local.sdk>/path/to/jar</local.sdk>
</properties>
Then, under plugins add a plugin to install the jars when compiling.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>1</id>
<phase>initialize</phase>
<goals>
<goal>install-file</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<groupId>com.local.jar</groupId>
<artifactId>appengine-api</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<file>${local.sdk}/lib/impl/appengine-api.jar</file>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>appengine-api-stubs</id>
<phase>initialize</phase>
<goals>
<goal>install-file</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<groupId>com.local.jar</groupId>
<artifactId>appengine-api-stubs</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<file>${local.sdk}/lib/impl/appengine-api-stubs.jar</file>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Finally, in dependencies, you can add the jars
<dependency>
<groupId>com.local.jar</groupId>
<artifactId>appengine-api</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.local.jar</groupId>
<artifactId>appengine-api-stubs</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
By Setting up your project like this, the project will continue to build even when you take it to another computer (given that it has all the jar files in the path specified by the property local.sdk).
For groupId use a unique name just to make sure that there are no conflicts.
Now when you mvn install or mvn test local jars will be added automatically.
Not an answer to the original question, however it might be useful for someone
There is no proper way to add multiple jar libraries from the folder using Maven. If there are only few dependencies, it is probably easier to configure maven-install-plugin as mentioned in the answers above.
However for my particular case, I had a lib folder with more than 100 proprietary jar files which I had to add somehow. And for me it was much easier for me to convert my Maven project to Gradle.
plugins {
id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.2.2.RELEASE'
id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.8.RELEASE'
id 'java'
}
group = 'com.example'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = '1.8'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
flatDir {
dirs 'libs' // local libs folder
}
}
dependencies {
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
testImplementation('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test') {
exclude group: 'org.junit.vintage', module: 'junit-vintage-engine'
}
implementation 'io.grpc:grpc-netty-shaded:1.29.0'
implementation 'io.grpc:grpc-protobuf:1.29.0'
implementation 'io.grpc:grpc-stub:1.29.0' // dependecies from maven central
implementation name: 'akka-actor_2.12-2.6.1' // dependecies from lib folder
implementation name: 'akka-protobuf-v3_2.12-2.6.1'
implementation name: 'akka-stream_2.12-2.6.1'
}
This is a short syntax for newer versions:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file>
It works when the JAR was built by Apache Maven - the most common case. Then it'll contain a pom.xml in a subfolder of the META-INF directory, which will be read by default.
Source: http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-local.html
The preferred way would be to create your own remote repository.
See here for details on how to do it.
Have a look at the 'Uploading to a Remote Repository' section.
I want to share a code where you can upload a folder full of jars. It's useful when a provider doesn't have a public repository and you need to add lots of libraries manually. I've decided to build a .bat instead of call directly to maven because It could be Out of Memory errors. It was prepared for a windows environment but is easy to adapt it to linux OS:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.jar.Attributes;
import java.util.jar.JarFile;
import java.util.jar.Manifest;
public class CreateMavenRepoApp {
private static final String OCB_PLUGIN_FOLDER = "C://your_folder_with_jars";
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
File directory = new File();
//get all the files from a directory
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter("update_repo_maven.bat", "UTF-8");
writer.println("rem "+ new Date());
File[] fList = directory.listFiles();
for (File file : fList){
if (file.isFile()){
String absolutePath = file.getAbsolutePath() ;
Manifest m = new JarFile(absolutePath).getManifest();
Attributes attributes = m.getMainAttributes();
String symbolicName = attributes.getValue("Bundle-SymbolicName");
if(symbolicName!=null &&symbolicName.contains("com.yourCompany.yourProject")) {
String[] parts =symbolicName.split("\\.");
String artifactId = parts[parts.length-1];
String groupId = symbolicName.substring(0,symbolicName.length()-artifactId.length()-1);
String version = attributes.getValue("Bundle-Version");
String mavenLine= "call mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:2.5.1:install-file -Dfile="+ absolutePath+" -DgroupId="+ groupId+" -DartifactId="+ artifactId+" -Dversion="+ version+" -Dpackaging=jar ";
writer.println(mavenLine);
}
}
}
writer.close();
}
}
After run this main from any IDE, run the update_repo_maven.bat.
Also take a look at...
<scope>compile</scope>
Maven Dependencies. This is the default but I've found in some cases explicitly setting that scope also Maven to find local libraries in the local repository.
Create a local Maven repository directory, Your project root should look something like this to start with:
yourproject
+- pom.xml
+- src
Add a standard Maven repository directory called repo for the group com.example and version 1.0:
yourproject
+- pom.xml
+- src
+- repo
Deploy the Artifact Into the Repo, Maven can deploy the artifact for you using the mvn deploy:deploy-file goal:
mvn deploy:deploy-file -Durl=file:///pathtoyour/repo -Dfile=your.jar -DgroupId=your.group.id -DartifactId=yourid -Dpackaging=jar -Dversion=1.0
install pom file corresponding to your jar so that your project can find jar during maven build from local repo:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=/path-to-your-jar-1.0.jar -DpomFile=/path-to-your-pom-1.0.pom
add repo in your pom file:
<repositories>
<!--other repositories if any-->
<repository>
<id>project.local</id>
<name>project</name>
<url>file:${project.basedir}/repo</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
add the dependency in your pom:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.groupid</groupId>
<artifactId>myid</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
To install third party jar, Please call the command like below
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId= -DartifactId= -Dversion= -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=path
For some reason, in the web application I'm giving maintenance to, neither Alireza Fattahi's solution nor JJ Roman's solution worked correctly. In both cases, the compilation goes okay (it sees the jar), but the packaging fails to include the jar inside the war.
The only way I managed to make it work was by putting the jar on /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/ and then combining it with either Fattahis's or Roman's solution.
Note that it is NOT necessarily a good idea to use a local repo.
If this project is shared with others then everyone else will have problems and questions when it doesn't work, and the jar won't be available even in your source control system!
Although the shared repo is the best answer, if you cannot do this for some reason then embedding the jar is better than a local repo. Local-only repo contents can cause lots of problems, especially over time.
On your local repository you can install your jar by issuing the commands
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file> -DgroupId=<group-id> \
-DartifactId=<artifact-id> -Dversion=<version> -Dpackaging=<packaging>
Follow this useful link to do the same from mkyoung's website. You can also check maven guide for the same
mvn install
You can write code below in command line or if you're using eclipse builtin maven right click on project -> Run As -> run configurations... -> in left panel right click on Maven Build -> new configuration -> write the code in Goals & in base directory :${project_loc:NameOfYourProject} -> Run
mvn install:install-file
-Dfile=<path-to-file>
-DgroupId=<group-id>
-DartifactId=<artifact-id>
-Dversion=<version>
-Dpackaging=<packaging>
-DgeneratePom=true
Where each refers to:
< path-to-file >: the path to the file to load e.g -> c:\kaptcha-2.3.jar
< group-id >: the group that the file should be registered under e.g -> com.google.code
< artifact-id >: the artifact name for the file e.g -> kaptcha
< version >: the version of the file e.g -> 2.3
< packaging >: the packaging of the file e.g. -> jar
2.After installed, just declares jar in pom.xml.

https://github.com/Limraj/maven-artifact-generator
Console program to generate maven artifacts in the local repository, and configure dependencies for pom.xml, based on the path to the jars.
You can do this for one file, but it's most useful if you have multiple jar files.
path jars:
java -jar maven-artifact-generator-X.X.X.jar -p path_to_jars -g com.test -V 1.2.3 -P jar
jar:
java -jar maven-artifact-generator-X.X.X.jar -f file_jar -g com.test -V 1.2.3 -P jar
This will generate an artifact in the local maven repository, and generate dependecies for pom.xml in gen.log. ArtifactId is the name of the jar file.
Requires an installed maven.
Testing on widnows 7 and macOS X (unix/linux).
Download jar file
copy jar file to the project folder
get inteliJ idea Maven command area
type below command
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=YOUR_JAR_FILE_LOCATION*JARNAME.jar -DgroupId=org.primefaces.themes -DartifactId=iMetro -Dversion=1.0.1 -Dpackaging=jar*
example :
mvn install:install-file
-Dfile=C:\Users\ranushka.l\Desktop\test\spring-web-1.0.2.jar -DgroupId=org.primefaces.themes -DartifactId=iMetro -Dversion=1.0.1 -Dpackaging=jar
I had the same error for a set of dependencies in my pom.xml turns out the versions of the dependencies was not specified in the pom.xml and was mentioned in the parent repository. For some reason the version details was not syncing with this repo. Hence i manually entered the versions using the tag and it worked like a charm. Little bit of time needed to look up the versions in the parent and specify here. But this can be done just for the jars that are showing the artifactid error and it works. Hope this helps someone.
How do I add local jar files (not yet part of the Maven repository) directly in my project's library sources?
You can add local dependencies directly (as mentioned in build maven project with propriatery libraries included) like this:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sample</groupId>
<artifactId>sample</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/Name_Your_JAR.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
Update
In new releases this feature is marked as deprecated but still working and not removed yet ( You just see warning in the log during maven start). An issue is raised at maven group about this https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6523 ( You can participate and describe why this feature is helpful in some cases). I hope this feature remains there!
If you are asking me, as long as the feature is not removed, I use this to make dependency to only one naughty jar file in my project which is not fit in repository. If this feature is removed, well, there are lots of good answers here which I can chose from later!
Install the JAR into your local Maven repository (typically .m2 in your home folder) as follows:
mvn install:install-file \
-Dfile=<path-to-file> \
-DgroupId=<group-id> \
-DartifactId=<artifact-id> \
-Dversion=<version> \
-Dpackaging=<packaging> \
-DgeneratePom=true
Where each refers to:
<path-to-file>: the path to the file to load e.g → c:\kaptcha-2.3.jar
<group-id>: the group that the file should be registered under e.g → com.google.code
<artifact-id>: the artifact name for the file e.g → kaptcha
<version>: the version of the file e.g → 2.3
<packaging>: the packaging of the file e.g. → jar

Maven FAQ: I have a jar that I want to put into my local repository. How can I copy it in?
Maven Install Plugin Usage: The install:install-file goal
Firstly, I would like to give credit for this answer to an anonymous Stack Overflow user - I am pretty sure I've seen a similar answer here before - but now I cannot find it.
The best option for having local JAR files as a dependency is to create a local Maven repository. Such a repository is nothing more than a proper directory structure with pom files in it.
For my example:
I have my master project on ${master_project} location and subproject1 is on ${master_project}/${subproject1}.
Then I create a Maven repository in:
${master_project}/local-maven-repo.
In the pom file in subproject1 located at ${master_project}/${subproject1}/pom.xml, the repository needs to be specified which would take file path as a URL parameter:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>local-maven-repo</id>
<url>file:///${project.parent.basedir}/local-maven-repo</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
The dependency can be specified as for any other repository. This makes your pom repository independent. For instance, once the desired JAR is available in Maven central, you just need to delete it from your local repo and it will be pulled from the default repo.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
<artifactId>org.apache.felix.servicebinder</artifactId>
<version>0.9.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
The last but not least thing to do is to add the JAR file to local repository using -DlocalRepositoryPath switch like so:
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:2.5.2:install-file \
-Dfile=/some/path/on/my/local/filesystem/felix/servicebinder/target/org.apache.felix.servicebinder-0.9.0-SNAPSHOT.jar \
-DgroupId=org.apache.felix -DartifactId=org.apache.felix.servicebinder \
-Dversion=0.9.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar \
-DlocalRepositoryPath=${master_project}/local-maven-repo
Once the JAR file is installed, your Maven repo can be committed to a code repository, and the whole set-up is system independent. (Working example in GitHub).
I agree that having JARs committed to source code repo is not a good practice, but in real life, quick and dirty solutions are sometimes better than a full blown Nexus repo to host one JAR that you cannot publish.
Create a new folder, let's say local-maven-repo at the root of your Maven project.
Just add a local repo inside your <project> of your pom.xml:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>local-maven-repo</id>
<url>file:///${project.basedir}/local-maven-repo</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
Then for each external jar you want to install, go at the root of your project and execute:
mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=[GROUP] -DartifactId=[ARTIFACT] -Dversion=[VERS] -Durl=file:./local-maven-repo/ -DrepositoryId=local-maven-repo -DupdateReleaseInfo=true -Dfile=[FILE_PATH]
I'd like such solution - use maven-install-plugin in pom file:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>initialize</phase>
<goals>
<goal>install-file</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<file>lib/yourJar.jar</file>
<groupId>com.somegroup.id</groupId>
<artifactId>artefact-id</artifactId>
<version>x.y.z</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
In this case you can perform mvn initialize and jar will be installed in local maven repo. Now this jar is available during any maven step on this machine (do not forget to include this dependency as any other maven dependency in pom with <dependency></dependency> tag). It is also possible to bind jar install not to initialize step, but any other step you like.
The really quick and dirty way is to point to a local file, please note "system" is deprecated by now:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sample</groupId>
<artifactId>samplifact</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>C:\DEV\myfunnylib\yourJar.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
However this will only live on your machine (obviously), for sharing it usually makes sense to use a proper m2 archive (nexus/artifactory) or if you do not have any of these or don't want to set one up a local maven structured archive and configure a "repository" in your pom:
local:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>my-local-repo</id>
<url>file://C:/DEV//mymvnrepo</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
remote:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>my-remote-repo</id>
<url>http://192.168.0.1/whatever/mavenserver/youwant/repo</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
for this solution, a relative path is also possible using the basedir variable:
<url>file:${basedir}</url>
<dependency>
<groupId>group id name</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact name</artifactId>
<version>version number</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>jar location</systemPath>
</dependency>
Important part in dependency is:
${pom.basedir} (instead of just ${basedir})
<dependency>
<groupId>org.example</groupId>
<artifactId>example</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${pom.basedir}/src/lib/example.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
Add your own local JAR in POM file and use that in maven build.
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=path-to-jar -DgroupId=owngroupid -DartifactId=ownartifactid -Dversion=ownversion -Dpackaging=jar
For example:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=path-to-jar -DgroupId=com.decompiler -DartifactId=jd-core-java -Dversion=1.2 -Dpackaging=jar
Then add it to the POM like this:
Step 1: Configure the maven-install-plugin with the goal install-file in your pom.xml
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>install-external-non-maven-jar-MWS-Client-into-local-maven-repo</id>
<phase>clean</phase>
<configuration>
<repositoryLayout>default</repositoryLayout>
<groupId>com.amazonservices.mws</groupId>
<artifactId>mws-client</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<file>${project.basedir}/lib/MWSClientJavaRuntime-1.0.jar</file>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<generatePom>true</generatePom>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>install-file</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Make sure to edit the file path based on your actual file path (recommended is to place these external non-maven jars inside some folder, let's say lib, and place this lib folder inside your project so as to use project-specific relative path and avoid adding system specific absolute path.
If you have multiple external jars, just repeat the <execution> for other jars within the same maven-install-plugin.
Step 2: Once you have configured the maven-install-plugin as shown above in your pom.xml file, you have to use these jars in your pom.xml as usual:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.amazonservices.mws</groupId>
<artifactId>mws-client</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
Note that the maven-install-plugin only copies your external jars to your local .m2 maven repository. That's it. It doesn't automatically include these jars as maven dependencies to your project.
It's a minor point, but sometimes easy to miss.
One way is to upload it to your own Maven repository manager (such as Nexus). It's good practice to have an own repository manager anyway.
Another nice way I've recently seen is to include the Maven Install Plugin in your build lifecycle: You declare in the POM to install the files to the local repository. It's a little but small overhead and no manual step involved.
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-install-plugin/install-file-mojo.html
Of course you can add jars to that folder. But maybe it does not what you want to achieve...
If you need these jars for compilation, check this related question: Can I add jars to maven 2 build classpath without installing them?
Also, before anyone suggests it, do NOT use the system scope.
Another interesting case is when you want to have in your project private maven jars. You may want to keep the capabilities of Maven to resolve transitive dependencies. The solution is fairly easy.
Create a folder libs in your project
Add the following lines in your pom.xml file
<properties><local.repository.folder>${pom.basedir}/libs/</local.repository.folder>
</properties>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>local-maven-repository</id>
<url>file://${local.repository.folder}</url>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>
</repositories>
Open the .m2/repository folder and copy the directory structure of the project you want to import into the libs folder.
E.g. suppose you want to import the dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>com.mycompany.myproject</groupId>
<artifactId>myproject</artifactId>
<version>1.2.3</version>
</dependency>
Just go on .m2/repository and you will see the following folder
com/mycompany/myproject/1.2.3
Copy everything in your libs folder (again, including the folders under .m2/repository) and you are done.
Add local jar libraries, their sources and javadoc to a Maven project
If you have pre-compiled jar files with libraries, their sources and javadoc, then you can install them to your local Maven repository like this:
mvn install:install-file
-Dfile=awesomeapp-1.0.1.jar \
-DpomFile=awesomeapp-1.0.1.pom \
-Dsources=awesomeapp-1.0.1-sources.jar \
-Djavadoc=awesomeapp-1.0.1-javadoc.jar \
-DgroupId=com.example \
-DartifactId=awesomeapp \
-Dversion=1.0.1 \
-Dpackaging=jar
Then in your project you can use this libraries:
<!-- com.example -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>awesomeapp</artifactId>
<version>1.0.1</version>
</dependency>
See: maven-install-plugin usage.
Or you can build these libraries yourself with their sources and javadoc using maven-source-plugin and maven-javadoc-plugin, and then install them.
Example project: library
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"

Execute maven install goal:
mvn install
Check your local Maven repository:
~/.m2/repository/com/example/awesomeapp/1.0.1/
├─ _remote.repositories
├─ awesomeapp-1.0.1.jar
├─ awesomeapp-1.0.1.pom
├─ awesomeapp-1.0.1-javadoc.jar
└─ awesomeapp-1.0.1-sources.jar
Then you can use this library:
<!-- com.example -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>awesomeapp</artifactId>
<version>1.0.1</version>
</dependency>
command line :
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=c:\kaptcha-{version}.jar -DgroupId=com.google.code
-DartifactId=kaptcha -Dversion={version} -Dpackaging=jar
I think a better solution for this problem is to use maven-install-plugin to automatically install the files at install time. This is how I set it up for my project.
First, add the path (where you store the local .jars) as a property.
<properties>
<local.sdk>/path/to/jar</local.sdk>
</properties>
Then, under plugins add a plugin to install the jars when compiling.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>1</id>
<phase>initialize</phase>
<goals>
<goal>install-file</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<groupId>com.local.jar</groupId>
<artifactId>appengine-api</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<file>${local.sdk}/lib/impl/appengine-api.jar</file>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>appengine-api-stubs</id>
<phase>initialize</phase>
<goals>
<goal>install-file</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<groupId>com.local.jar</groupId>
<artifactId>appengine-api-stubs</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<file>${local.sdk}/lib/impl/appengine-api-stubs.jar</file>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Finally, in dependencies, you can add the jars
<dependency>
<groupId>com.local.jar</groupId>
<artifactId>appengine-api</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.local.jar</groupId>
<artifactId>appengine-api-stubs</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
By Setting up your project like this, the project will continue to build even when you take it to another computer (given that it has all the jar files in the path specified by the property local.sdk).
For groupId use a unique name just to make sure that there are no conflicts.
Now when you mvn install or mvn test local jars will be added automatically.
Not an answer to the original question, however it might be useful for someone
There is no proper way to add multiple jar libraries from the folder using Maven. If there are only few dependencies, it is probably easier to configure maven-install-plugin as mentioned in the answers above.
However for my particular case, I had a lib folder with more than 100 proprietary jar files which I had to add somehow. And for me it was much easier for me to convert my Maven project to Gradle.
plugins {
id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.2.2.RELEASE'
id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.8.RELEASE'
id 'java'
}
group = 'com.example'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = '1.8'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
flatDir {
dirs 'libs' // local libs folder
}
}
dependencies {
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
testImplementation('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test') {
exclude group: 'org.junit.vintage', module: 'junit-vintage-engine'
}
implementation 'io.grpc:grpc-netty-shaded:1.29.0'
implementation 'io.grpc:grpc-protobuf:1.29.0'
implementation 'io.grpc:grpc-stub:1.29.0' // dependecies from maven central
implementation name: 'akka-actor_2.12-2.6.1' // dependecies from lib folder
implementation name: 'akka-protobuf-v3_2.12-2.6.1'
implementation name: 'akka-stream_2.12-2.6.1'
}
This is a short syntax for newer versions:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file>
It works when the JAR was built by Apache Maven - the most common case. Then it'll contain a pom.xml in a subfolder of the META-INF directory, which will be read by default.
Source: http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-local.html
The preferred way would be to create your own remote repository.
See here for details on how to do it.
Have a look at the 'Uploading to a Remote Repository' section.
I want to share a code where you can upload a folder full of jars. It's useful when a provider doesn't have a public repository and you need to add lots of libraries manually. I've decided to build a .bat instead of call directly to maven because It could be Out of Memory errors. It was prepared for a windows environment but is easy to adapt it to linux OS:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.jar.Attributes;
import java.util.jar.JarFile;
import java.util.jar.Manifest;
public class CreateMavenRepoApp {
private static final String OCB_PLUGIN_FOLDER = "C://your_folder_with_jars";
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
File directory = new File();
//get all the files from a directory
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter("update_repo_maven.bat", "UTF-8");
writer.println("rem "+ new Date());
File[] fList = directory.listFiles();
for (File file : fList){
if (file.isFile()){
String absolutePath = file.getAbsolutePath() ;
Manifest m = new JarFile(absolutePath).getManifest();
Attributes attributes = m.getMainAttributes();
String symbolicName = attributes.getValue("Bundle-SymbolicName");
if(symbolicName!=null &&symbolicName.contains("com.yourCompany.yourProject")) {
String[] parts =symbolicName.split("\\.");
String artifactId = parts[parts.length-1];
String groupId = symbolicName.substring(0,symbolicName.length()-artifactId.length()-1);
String version = attributes.getValue("Bundle-Version");
String mavenLine= "call mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:2.5.1:install-file -Dfile="+ absolutePath+" -DgroupId="+ groupId+" -DartifactId="+ artifactId+" -Dversion="+ version+" -Dpackaging=jar ";
writer.println(mavenLine);
}
}
}
writer.close();
}
}
After run this main from any IDE, run the update_repo_maven.bat.
Also take a look at...
<scope>compile</scope>
Maven Dependencies. This is the default but I've found in some cases explicitly setting that scope also Maven to find local libraries in the local repository.
Create a local Maven repository directory, Your project root should look something like this to start with:
yourproject
+- pom.xml
+- src
Add a standard Maven repository directory called repo for the group com.example and version 1.0:
yourproject
+- pom.xml
+- src
+- repo
Deploy the Artifact Into the Repo, Maven can deploy the artifact for you using the mvn deploy:deploy-file goal:
mvn deploy:deploy-file -Durl=file:///pathtoyour/repo -Dfile=your.jar -DgroupId=your.group.id -DartifactId=yourid -Dpackaging=jar -Dversion=1.0
install pom file corresponding to your jar so that your project can find jar during maven build from local repo:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=/path-to-your-jar-1.0.jar -DpomFile=/path-to-your-pom-1.0.pom
add repo in your pom file:
<repositories>
<!--other repositories if any-->
<repository>
<id>project.local</id>
<name>project</name>
<url>file:${project.basedir}/repo</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
add the dependency in your pom:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.groupid</groupId>
<artifactId>myid</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
To install third party jar, Please call the command like below
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId= -DartifactId= -Dversion= -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=path
For some reason, in the web application I'm giving maintenance to, neither Alireza Fattahi's solution nor JJ Roman's solution worked correctly. In both cases, the compilation goes okay (it sees the jar), but the packaging fails to include the jar inside the war.
The only way I managed to make it work was by putting the jar on /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/ and then combining it with either Fattahis's or Roman's solution.
Note that it is NOT necessarily a good idea to use a local repo.
If this project is shared with others then everyone else will have problems and questions when it doesn't work, and the jar won't be available even in your source control system!
Although the shared repo is the best answer, if you cannot do this for some reason then embedding the jar is better than a local repo. Local-only repo contents can cause lots of problems, especially over time.
On your local repository you can install your jar by issuing the commands
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file> -DgroupId=<group-id> \
-DartifactId=<artifact-id> -Dversion=<version> -Dpackaging=<packaging>
Follow this useful link to do the same from mkyoung's website. You can also check maven guide for the same
mvn install
You can write code below in command line or if you're using eclipse builtin maven right click on project -> Run As -> run configurations... -> in left panel right click on Maven Build -> new configuration -> write the code in Goals & in base directory :${project_loc:NameOfYourProject} -> Run
mvn install:install-file
-Dfile=<path-to-file>
-DgroupId=<group-id>
-DartifactId=<artifact-id>
-Dversion=<version>
-Dpackaging=<packaging>
-DgeneratePom=true
Where each refers to:
< path-to-file >: the path to the file to load e.g -> c:\kaptcha-2.3.jar
< group-id >: the group that the file should be registered under e.g -> com.google.code
< artifact-id >: the artifact name for the file e.g -> kaptcha
< version >: the version of the file e.g -> 2.3
< packaging >: the packaging of the file e.g. -> jar
2.After installed, just declares jar in pom.xml.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.code</groupId>
<artifactId>kaptcha</artifactId>
<version>2.3</version>

https://github.com/Limraj/maven-artifact-generator
Console program to generate maven artifacts in the local repository, and configure dependencies for pom.xml, based on the path to the jars.
You can do this for one file, but it's most useful if you have multiple jar files.
path jars:
java -jar maven-artifact-generator-X.X.X.jar -p path_to_jars -g com.test -V 1.2.3 -P jar
jar:
java -jar maven-artifact-generator-X.X.X.jar -f file_jar -g com.test -V 1.2.3 -P jar
This will generate an artifact in the local maven repository, and generate dependecies for pom.xml in gen.log. ArtifactId is the name of the jar file.
Requires an installed maven.
Testing on widnows 7 and macOS X (unix/linux).

I need to use a third-party JAR library in my project (actually it's Dresden OCL for Eclipse) that is not provided as a Maven artifact. Instead, it's just a downloadable JAR file. Can I instruct Maven to use this JAR file the same way I'm using <dependencies>? I suppose that there should be some plugin for this purpose?
ps. I just don't want to add 35Mb of third-party binaries into my SVN repository.
Would be nice to have it configured this way:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>non-maven-dependencies-injector</artifactId>
<configuration>
<libraries>
<library>http://www.example.com/something*.jar</library>
<library>http://www.example.com/something-else*.jar</library>
</libraries>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugins>
</build>
And this plugin would 1) download these JAR files, and 2) add them as dependencies into pom.xml. Maybe this plugin could store them somewhere in ~/.m2/temp/...
yes you can install it into your local repository with maven-install plugin
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=your-artifact-1.0.jar \
-DgroupId=org.some.group \
-DartifactId=your-artifact \
-Dversion=1.0 \
-Dpackaging=jar \
-DgeneratePom=true
If you want your other team members to be able to download this dependency without having to install it them thelves, you need to setup your own artifact repo, and deploy the artifact there with maven-deploy-plugin in same way as you installed it localy.
Yes. This (using non-Mavenized dependencies) is supported by the maven-external-dependency-plugin.
Example:
<artifactItem>
<groupId>jwbroek.cuelib</groupId>
<artifactId>cuelib</artifactId>
<version>${cuelib-version}</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<downloadUrl>http://cuelib.googlecode.com/files/cuelib-${cuelib-version}.jar</downloadUrl>
<checksum>d03b6b960b3b83a2a419e8b5f07b6ba4bd18387b</checksum>
</artifactItem>
It can also extract artifacts from zip files:
<artifactItem>
<groupId>mediautil</groupId>
<artifactId>mediautil</artifactId>
<version>${mediautil-version}</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<install>true</install>
<force>false</force>
<downloadUrl>http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mediachest/MediaUtil/Version%201.0/mediautil-1.zip</downloadUrl>
<checksum>aa7ae51bb24a9268a8e57c6afe478c4293f84fda</checksum>
<extractFile>mediautil-${mediautil-version}/mediautil-${mediautil-version}.jar</extractFile>
<extractFileChecksum>e843cd55def75dce57123c79b7f36caca4841466</extractFileChecksum>
</artifactItem>
You can use "system"-scope in your pom.xml for local library dependencies:
system This scope is similar to
provided except that you have to
provide the JAR which contains it
explicitly. The artifact is always
available and is not looked up in a
repository.
systemPath
is used only if the the dependency scope is system. Otherwise, the build will fail if this element is set. The path must be absolute, so it is recommended to use a property to specify the machine-specific path (more on properties below), such as ${java.home}/lib. Since it is assumed that system scope dependencies are installed a priori, Maven will not check the repositories for the project, but instead checks to ensure that the file exists. If not, Maven will fail the build and suggest that you download and install it manually.
<dependency>
<groupId>some.id</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact</artifactId>
<version>1.2.3</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${basedir}/path/to/jarFile.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
AFAIK, you can use pretty much what you want for groupId, artifactId and version. See Maven System Depencies and this question.
Taking that your example Dresden OCL has over 20 JAR files, and you need to distribute it to many developers, the best solution would be to install a repository manager somewhere (like nexus or artifactory), take your time to upload these 20 jars to that repository, and use them. Best bet would be to put them in a private groupId, so if they'll get published to a m2 repo sometime, you won't end up with name conflicts.
Another point, would be to ask the Dresden OCL Maintainers, if they can offer a m2 repository. Now that m2eclipse is an eclipse incubator project, this might interest more people.
You can install it local or deploy it to your site-local (e.g. company-wide) repository.
If you use a dependency maven cannot find in the configured repositories, it even gives you the required commands:
Then, install it using the command:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=mygid -DartifactId=myaid -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file
Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there:
mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=mygid -DartifactId=myaid -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]
Please note: This way you only add the .jar to your repository, there will be no pom along with it to specify transient dependencies. So if your third-party library has dependencies of it's own you'll have to add them manually to your pom.xml as there will be no automatic resolution.
"mvn install:install-file" mentioned here will help you to install the jars into your local repository. However, if you want to make these jars subsequently available to the developers on the project automaticall, copy the relevant pieces to a repository available to everybody on the project and make this repository available using the tag, for example by checking all the files into the SVN. See http://code.google.com/p/codebistro/wiki/BuildNumber#Maven_Plugin_Example which refers to a SVN-hosted repository for example.
P.S. Have a safe trip to the SV!
Here's a different approach that'll let add a Maven repository inside the project directory, use that as a repository in you pom.xml, and share the repository on SVN with anyone checking out the project. Crosspost from here.
In your project directory, create a folder called repo, which we'll use as a folder based Maven repository.
Add the following file repository to your project pom.xml:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>file.repo</id>
<url>file://${project.basedir}/repo</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
Deploy the external jar(s) to the file repository with the following command:
mvn deploy:deploy-file
-Durl=file:///absolute/path/to/your-project/repo \
-DrepositoryId=file.repo \
-Dfile=path-to-your.jar \
-DgroupId=some.external.project.group \
-DartifactId=the-artifact-name \
-Dversion=1.0 \
-Dpackaging=jar;
Following this you can just add a normal dependency on the jar in your project pom.xml, using the values for groupId, artifactId and version you passed above. You can then add the repo folder to SVN, and commit the changes to your pom.xml. Any developer checking out your project will now be able to use the same dependency without any effort.
I think the below answer will help you...just place jar files on your SVN and tell them all to e synch with SVN and here the ${lib.directory} will be t he local path
