Jose, Installing a jar simply means making it available in your local .m2/ repository. Sometimes its the case that a jar cannot be published due to distribution restrictions. Sometimes its the case that the dependency listed is available under a different name in the central repository.
I'm curious what the dependency is your trying to meet. Can you post that detail? Likewise, you are correct, unless the dependency is explicitly required by your production environment, it should not interfere with that build process. In the event that you are really concerned about this, you can setup two separate local repositories to meet each need, either by (1) working in a different user account for development and production or (2) configuring mvn to look for a different local repository. I'm not convinced you need be doing either of these. I don't think theres a command to uninstall a jar in mvn, which is interesting given you can just delete the installed copy from you .m2/ repository by hand to get it out of there. http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-install-plugin/usage.html -Mark On Aug 14, 2008, at 9:11 AM, Blanco, Jose wrote: > I am experimenting in a separate development are with a new storage > mechanism, and the instructions ask me to install a jar file using > mvn. > I'm wondering how this will affect my production environment.
