Hi, thanks for your response. I migrated from ant, where I had a libs folder. I just wanted to keep using the libs folder for now as I migrate to using repositories. Is there a way to direct maven to load libraries from a local folder? I did it like this: <repositories> <repository> <id>project</id> <name>Project Maven Repository</name> <layout>default</layout> <url>file://${basedir}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib</url> </repository> </repositories>
But when I try to load a dependency from that repo: <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId> <artifactId>commons-logging-1.1.1</artifactId> <version>1.1.1</version> </dependency> I get this: Downloading: file:///home/a/src/client_pom/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/org/apache/commons/commons-logging-1.1.1/1.1.1/commons-logging-1.1.1-1.1.1.pom Unable to find resource 'org.apache.commons:commons-logging-1.1.1:pom:1.1.1' in repository project (file:///home/a/src/client_pom/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib) Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/commons/commons-logging-1.1.1/1.1.1/commons-logging-1.1.1-1.1.1.pom Unable to find resource 'org.apache.commons:commons-logging-1.1.1:pom:1.1.1' in repository central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2) Downloading: file:///home/a/src/client_pom/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/org/apache/commons/commons-logging-1.1.1/1.1.1/commons-logging-1.1.1-1.1.1.jar Unable to find resource 'org.apache.commons:commons-logging-1.1.1:jar:1.1.1' in repository project (file:///home/a/src/client_pom/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib) Is there a way to just load that file with no questions asked? Thank you!!
