Eclipselink: how to add it to local repository

Question

GIT clone and checkout eclipselink.runtime
git clone https://.../eclipselink.runtime.git
git checkout -b testing tag/2.6.5

The version in POM.xml is <version>2.6.5-SNAPSHOT</version> ???

Tried to add eclipselink.jar into local repository:

 mvn install:install-file -Dfile=eclipselink.jar 
 -DgroupId=org/eclipse/persistence -DartifactId=eclipselink 
 -Dversion=2.6.5 -Dpackaging=jar

Error: The goal you specified requires a project to execute but there is no POM in this directory

Is there an ant/maven target for installing eclipselink jar into local repository?

Answer 1

You will need to add eclipse link to your pom file

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>eclipselink</artifactId>
    <version>2.7.0</version>
</dependency>
