Re: Using Apache Maven, what is the simplest way to include /lib/ directory in the classpath in the pom.xml
you could add the whole tomcat.zip to nexus, unpack it before compile and install-file to local repository. I had a similar problem, I needed to have the jars of an resource adapter rar on the classpath: > I was thinking of adapting maven-warpath-plugin, but in the end I built an > uber jar in a sub module with maven-ant-run (unzip, zip and zipgroupfileset) > and did an install-file to local repository.

Re: Using Apache Maven, what is the simplest way to include /lib/ directory in the classpath in the pom.xml
I appreciate that you're trying to use Maven to build software, but you've framed your question unfairly.

You cannot jam a directory of JARs into the classpath. Maybe you can do that in Ant, but not Maven.

The time is now. Don't leave the nightmare for someone else later.

Re: Using Apache Maven, what is the simplest way to include /lib/ directory in the classpath in the pom.xml
Thank you for the suggestion Bernd, Do you have an example you can share? There are hundreds of jar files in the $TOMCAT_HOME//WEB-INF/lib directory. I need something with no more than 5..10 lines of XML that would include this directory so that it would pick up all jars and add to the class path. Over time I can create an entry for each one, but I just don't have time for that right now, also I would need to determine the version of each and that would be a nightmare. If you can please help with what the question asks. On Fri, Oct 16, 2020 at 2:38 AM Bernd Eckenfels wrote: > Hello, > > It is really not a good idea to fight maven.

Re: Using Apache Maven, what is the simplest way to include /lib/ directory in the classpath in the pom.xml
Hello, It is really not a good idea to fight maven. If you need something in the classpath for compile, specify it as dependency in the Pom. Otherwise your build cannot be repeated and the project is hard to set up. All tomcat libraries needed to compile should be in the maven repository. If you have custom artifacts, the normal method is to upload them to a (own) repository Server and reference them there. There is a way to specify a local („system“) location for dependencies, but I would not recommend that way.
