Can I add jars to maven 2 build classpath without installing them?

Question

Maven2 is driving me crazy during the experimentation / quick and dirty mock-up phase of development.

Answer 1

You may create local repository on your project

For example if you have libs folder in project structure

• In libs folder you should create directory structure like: /groupId/artifactId/version/artifactId-version.jar

• In your pom.xml you should register repository

  
      ProjectRepo
      ProjectRepo
      file://${project.basedir}/libs
  
  

• and add dependency as usual

  
      groupId
      artifactId
      version
  
  

That is all.
