Install a 3:rd part lib in Maven

Filed under: Maven, — Tags: Automation, Install libs in Maven — Thomas Sundberg — 2011-06-10

Suppose that you have a dependency that looks something like this:

<dependency>
    <groupId>foo</groupId>
    <artifactId>bar</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

that can't be resolved and the build fails with the error message below:

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project regression: Could not resolve dependencies for project se.sigma.eduational:example:jar:1.0:
Could not find artifact foo:bar:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT in Sigma Internal Repository (http://mavenrepo:8080/archiva/repository/internal/) -> [Help 1]
[ERROR]
[ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch.
[ERROR] Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.
[ERROR]
[ERROR] For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please read the following articles:
[ERROR] [Help 1] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/DependencyResolutionException

To upload the missing jar manually, do like this:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file> -DgroupId=<group-id> -DartifactId=<artifact-id> -Dversion=<version> -Dpackaging=<packaging>

A real world example could be

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=C:\temp\myThirdPartLib.jar -DgroupId=foo -DartifactId=bar -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar

Running it could look something like this:

C:\example>mvn install:install-file -Dfile=C:\temp\myThirdPartLib.jar -DgroupId=foo -DartifactId=bar -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar
