Controlling jar name from internal repository maven

Question

I have created an internal repository(Libs) and places my jars in folder hierarchy as showed below

here is my POM where i am creating repository and specifying dependency for common-jar-1.0.jar

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>in-project</id>
        <name>In Project Repo</name>
        <url>file://${basedir}/libs</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

<dependencies>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>common</groupId>
        <artifactId>common-jar</artifactId>
        <version>1.0</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>mediator</groupId>
        <artifactId>mediator-jar</artifactId>
        <version>1.0</version>
    </dependency>

</dependencies>

I want my POM to accept my jar with name common.jar ,how can i do it.

currently it will accept only common-jar-1.0.jar , can we exclude the version from jar name some how?? Please Help

Answer 1

The following will install the common.jar with version 1.0 into the local repository ~/.m2/repository

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path to common.jar> -DgroupId=common -DartifactId=common-jar -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar

after that you can define the dependency as usual

<dependency>
    <groupId>common</groupId>
    <artifactId>common-jar</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
