Adding a dependency for a local JAR in Maven 1.1

Question

My project is using maven 1.1, and I want to add a dependency for another JAR that I build which is located locally. How can I do this?

Answer 1

You can add an entry in the pom.xml for that JAR and when you build the project using maven , just add the -o to the commmand. Make sure the JAR is present in the local m2 repository.

-o stands for offline, which means it'll look up for the dependencies in the local m2 only.

Answer 2

将罐子安装到本地仓库

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path to your jar> -DgroupId=<groupID you want to give> -DartifactId=<artifactID you want to give> -Dversion=<version you want to give> -Dpackaging=jar

Answer 3

In my case I used the following strategy: install the file to your local repository and then add its dependency to your pom.xml.

Installation could be done like follows:

mvn install:install-file \
  -DgroupId=my.local.jar \
  -DartifactId=localName \
  -Dpackaging=jar \
  -Dversion=1.0-MYVERSION \
  -Dfile=localFile.jar

for the installed file you would need the following dependency to your pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>my.local.jar</groupId>
    <artifactId>localName</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-MYVERSION</version>
</dependency>

From maven-1.1 FAQ:

How do I add a JAR from a non-Maven project to my local repository?
If it is a JAR that cannot be uploaded to Maven's central repository because of a license, or it is private, you must manually copy it to your local repository. After picking a sensible group ID, and making sure the filename is in the format artifactId-version.jar, copy it to ${maven.repo.local}/groupId/jars/artifactId-version.jar.
