Maven: add a dependency to a jar by relative path

Question

I have a proprietary jar that I want to add to my pom as a dependency.

But I don\'t want to add it to a repository. The reason is that I want my usual maven commands

Answer 1

Basically, add this to the pom.xml:

...


   
       lib_id
       file://${project.basedir}/lib
   


...


  ...
  
      com.mylibrary
      mylibraryname
      1.0.0
  
  ...
