Answer 1

I meet this problem in my work:

Now I have a target.jar (it has a dependencies list : a.jar, b.jar, c.jar...), I want to use mvn install:install-file to put it into my local repo, but when I run the command blow

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=/Users/username/.../target.jar -DgroupId=com.cnetwork.relevance  -DartifactId=target  -Dversion=1.0.0

but when I use it I found there are many error, the jar which use target.jar cannot find a.jar, b.jar, c.jar, such as:

com.cnetwork.a does not exist
com.cnetwork.b does not exist
com.cnetwork.c does not exist

Then I went to ~/.m2/repository/.../target/1.0.0/target.pom to find the pom file of the target, but nothing in it!

...
com.cnetwork.relevance
target
1.0.0
....
# no dependencies about a/b/c.jar !!!

This is what going wrong, the install:file -Dfile -DgroupId -D.. does not add dependencies into pom, I correct the answer by this method

1. if you already have this maven project source, just install it into local repo

   mvn clean install

2. if you have the jar and the pom of it, install jar with pom

   mvn install:install-file -Dfile=/.../.../target.jar -DpomFile=/.../../target.pom

3. if you don't have a pom with target jar, write one and use upper command.

4. if you cannot recover the pom file of it, may be you should give up.
