Add Local Jar files to a Maven Jar

 

We can add Local Jar files to the Maven Jar with the below steps

   

• Put the dependency in a "file system repository" local to the project.
• Declare that repository in the pom.xml as below

                       <repositories>

                             <repository>

                                 <id>somename</id>

                                 <url>file://${basedir}/lib</url>

                             </repository>

                       </repositories>

• Then Just Declare the dependency as below

                       <dependency>

                              <groupId>inc.skt</groupId>

                              <artifactId>skt-localjar</artifactId>

                              <version>1.0</version>

                       </dependency>

•  To Add the Jar to Maven Local Repository run the below command from the location where you have pom.xml

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=C:\Model.jar -DgroupId=inc.skt -DartifactId=skt-localjar -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true
