如何将特定 URL（非本地）的外部 jar 添加到 Maven 项目？

Question

I can find a lot of questions on how to import an external jar, already on the machine, in a maven project.

But how can I do that for a jar downloadable via an URL ?

I've checked the following , but it is only for local jars.

Moreover, the following has no information about urL or any non local source.

Is there any example, or can you provide one, showing how to do such a thing if it is possible ?

For example, with my jar at http://myjar.com/myjardownload

Does something like this exist ?

<dependency>
            <groupId>mysuperjar</groupId>
            <artifactId>jar-super-nice</artifactId>
            <url>http://myjar.com/myjardownload</url>
</dependency>

Answer 1

No.

You need to download the jar and upload it to your company Nexus/Artifactory.

Alternatively, install it into your local repository.

The best alternative is to find out whether this jar can be drawn from any Maven repository on the internet and then add that Maven repository either to your settings.xml or to your company Nexus/Artifactory.
