How to add local jar files to a Maven project?

Question

How do I add local jar files (not yet part of the Maven repository) directly in my project\'s library sources?

Answer 1

Create a new folder, let's say local-maven-repo at the root of your Maven project.

Just add a local repo inside your of your pom.xml:

    
        local-maven-repo
        file:///${project.basedir}/local-maven-repo
    

Then for each external jar you want to install, go at the root of your project and execute:

mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=[GROUP] -DartifactId=[ARTIFACT] -Dversion=[VERS] -Durl=file:./local-maven-repo/ -DrepositoryId=local-maven-repo -DupdateReleaseInfo=true -Dfile=[FILE_PATH]
