如何将jar，source和Javadoc添加到本地Maven存储库？

Question

I'm wanting to add the latest version of JGoodies Forms (1.5.0) as a dependency, but I can't find anything newer than 1.0.5 in the main repository, so if I understand correctly, the next best thing I can do is add it to my local repository.

When I download it from the website, I get a ZIP file that contains the javadoc files, the source code and the jar (with just class files in it).

What is the procedure for adding this to my local Maven repository in such a way that Eclipse will be able to see the source and Javadoc? (I've only just started using Maven)

Update : Even though this is the accepted answer, please check the answer of Emmanuel Bourg below - his answer is probably what you would like to do, especially if you're having a snapshot version.

You can use the maven deploy plugin for that. It has a goal for deploying a single file to any repository. For the jar itself:

mvn deploy:deploy-file \
    -DgroupId=com.yourname.jgoodies \
    -DartifactId=jgoodies-forms \
    -Dversion=1.50 \
    -Dfile=/path/to/jgoodies-1.50.jar \
    -Dpackaging=jar \
    -Durl=file://path/to/your/local/repository 

For the sources:

mvn deploy:deploy-file \
    -DgroupId=com.yourname.jgoodies \
    -DartifactId=jgoodies-forms \
    -Dversion=1.50 \
    -Dfile=/path/to/jgoodies-sources.jar \
    -Dpackaging=jar \
    -Durl=file://path/to/your/local/repository \
    -Dclassifier=sources

For the javadoc:

mvn deploy:deploy-file \
    -DgroupId=com.yourname.jgoodies \
    -DartifactId=jgoodies-forms \
    -Dversion=1.50 \
    -Dfile=/path/to/jgoodies-javadoc.jar \
    -Dpackaging=jar \
    -Durl=file://path/to/your/local/repository \
    -Dclassifier=javadoc

Note that this will generate a standard POM, so you won't have the dependencies of JGoodies (if any) pulled automatically but have to specify them manually in your project.

Here is the syntax to deploy the binary, the sources and the javadoc with a single command:

mvn deploy:deploy-file \
    -DgroupId=com.jgoodies \
    -DartifactId=jgoodies-forms \
    -Dversion=1.6.0 \
    -Dfile=jgoodies-forms-1.6.0.jar \
    -Dsources=jgoodies-forms-1.6.0-sources.jar \
    -Djavadoc=jgoodies-forms-1.6.0-javadoc.jar \
    -Durl=file://path/to/your/local/repository

Answer 3

Install the jar you have downloaded using this mini guide :

http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-local.html

You should install jgoodies-form-1.5.0.jar by typing:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file>/jgoodies-form-1.5.0.jar \ 
-DgroupId=jgoodies -DartifactId=forms -Dversion=1.5.0 -Dpackaging=jar

don't forget to do the same with jgoodies-commons.

For you to be able to access the source code and the contextual javadoc you can either

• uncompress the jgoodies form zip and make eclipse points to the src folder

• generates a jgoodies-form-1.5.0-src.jar by putting the src directory in it and install it in your local repo the same way you did for the jar
