how to add local jar to maven project

Question

I trying a small maven project, and I try to connect to db2 database, so I need the com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver jar for the connection.

I tried many method from internet but still fail, here is some of the method I tried:

1. edit in pom.xml

     <dependency> <groupId>com.ibm.db2</groupId> <artifactId>db2jcc4</artifactId> <version>10.5.0.7</version> <scope>system</scope> <systemPath> /home/Workspace/book/springData/lib/db2jcc4-10.5.0.7.jar </systemPath> </dependency> 

2. use maven command to install:

    mvn install:install-file -Dfile=/home/Workspace/book/springData/lib/db2jcc4-10.5.0.7.jar -DpomFile=/home/Workspace/book/springData/pom.xml 

   or

    mvn install:install-file -Dfile=/home/meow/Workspace/mbsb-cib/springData/lib/db2jcc4-10.5.0.7.jar -DgroupId=com.ibm.db2 -DartifactId=db2jcc4 -Dversion=10.5.0.7 -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true 

But, I am still hitting could not load JDBC driver.

Answer 1

Try to add the reference from central repository in pom.xml?

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.ibm.db2.jcc/db2jcc4 -->
<dependency>
     <groupId>com.ibm.db2.jcc</groupId>
     <artifactId>db2jcc4</artifactId>
     <version>10.1</version>
</dependency>

Once you add this please rebuild your project with maven.
