build maven project with propriatery libraries included

Question

How to create maven pom  which will make project buildable  can I include propriatery jars with my project directly without having to take them from repository  anyone did this before     EDIT    I don t want to make it runnable by building assembly with dependencies jar  I want it to be buildable  So anyone having this project is able to build it  even if jars are nowhere to be found at any repository

Possible solutions is put your dependencies in src/main/resources then in your pom :

<dependency>
groupId ...
artifactId ...
version ...
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/yourJar.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>

Note: system dependencies are not copied into resulted jar/war
(see How to include system dependencies in war built using maven)

The really quick and dirty way is to point to a local file   lt dependency gt         lt groupId gt sampleGroupId lt  groupId gt            lt artifactId gt sampleArtifactId lt  artifactId gt            lt version gt 1 0 lt  version gt          lt scope gt system lt  scope gt         lt systemPath gt C  DEV myfunnylib yourJar jar lt  systemPath gt   lt  dependency gt   However this will only live on your machine  obviously   for sharing it usually makes sense to use a proper m2 archive  nexus artifactory  or if you do not have any of these or don t want to set one up a local maven structured archive and configure a  quot repository quot  in your pom  local   lt repositories gt       lt repository gt           lt id gt my-local-repo lt  id gt           lt url gt file   C  DEV  mymvnrepo lt  url gt       lt  repository gt   lt  repositories gt   remote   lt repositories gt       lt repository gt           lt id gt my-remote-repo lt  id gt           lt url gt http   192 168 0 1 whatever mavenserver youwant repo lt  url gt       lt  repository gt   lt  repositories gt

I think that the  right  solution here is to add your proprietary libraries to your own repository  It should be simple  create pom for your library project and publish the compiled version on your repository  Add this repository to the list of repositories for your mail project and run build  I believe it will work for you

You can use the maven-assembly-plugin and create a jar with all dependencies included

Create a new folder  let s say local-maven-repo at the root of your Maven project   Just add a local repo iside your  lt project gt  of your pom xml    lt repositories gt       lt repository gt           lt id gt local-maven-repo lt  id gt           lt url gt file      project basedir  local-maven-repo lt  url gt       lt  repository gt   lt  repositories gt    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     Copied from my reply on a similar question

Why not run something like Nexus  your own maven repo that you can upload 3rd party proprietary jar files  and also proxy other public repositories  to save on bandwith   This also has some good reasons to run your own maven repository manager

A good way to achieve this is to have a Maven mirror server such as Sonatype Nexus  It is free and very easy to setup  Java web app   With Nexus one can have private  team  corporate etc  repository with a capability of deploying third party and internal apps into it  while also registering other Maven repositories as part of the same server  This way the local Maven settings would reference only the one private Nexus server and all the dependencies will be resolved using it

Create a repository folder under your project  Let s take    project basedir  src main resources repo   Then  install your custom jar to this repo   mvn install install-file -Dfile  FILE PATH    -DgroupId  GROUP  -DartifactId  ARTIFACT  -Dversion  VERS     -Dpackaging jar -DlocalRepositoryPath  REPO DIR    Lastly  add the following repo and dependency definitions to the projects pom xml    lt repositories gt       lt repository gt           lt id gt project-repo lt  id gt           lt url gt file     project basedir  src main resources repo lt  url gt       lt  repository gt   lt  repositories gt    lt dependencies gt           lt dependency gt           lt groupId gt  GROUP  lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt  ARTIFACT  lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt  VERS  lt  version gt       lt  dependency gt   lt  dependencies gt

You could either add the jar to your project and mess around with the maven-assembly-plugin  or  add the jar to your local repository   mvn install install-file -Dfile  lt path-to-file gt  -DgroupId  lt group-id gt  -DartifactId  lt artifact-id gt  -Dversion  lt version gt  -Dpackaging  lt packaging gt  -DgeneratePom true  Where   lt path-to-file gt   the path to the file to load         lt group-id gt       the group that the file should be registered under         lt artifact-id gt    the artifact name for the file         lt version gt        the version of the file         lt packaging gt      the packaging of the file e g  jar
