Paul Benedict commented on MNG-4599:
------------------------------------
Ondrej, a temporary repository is the way people handle snapshots and other
unofficial releases. It doesn't matter if they will never be used again if they
are rejected by your QA team. That's fine. That's how you do things with Maven.
> Provide a way to create "virtual artifacts" out of plain .jar file.

> Key: MNG-4599
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4599
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Ondrej Zizka
> Assignee: Brett Porter
>
> During the time I have been using Maven, I have come across numerous cases
> when I desperately needed to turn a simple .jar file into a dependency.
> Currently, this involves installing it properly to the repository first, and
> only then it can be used.
> I suggest to introduce some construct which would take a list of .jar files
> and turn them into dependencies in the sense they would be added to the
> classpaths, could be used for WAR overlays, etc. Of course, they would not
> have any transitional dependencies.
> <dependencyManagement>
> <jarPaths>
> <jarPath>../../releases/50GAAS/jboss-as/common/lib</jarPath>
> </jarPaths>
> ...
> </dependencyManagement>
> This would greately improve Maven's openness to non-mavenized world, and
> usability in cases when you really get a plain .jar/.war/.ear/... before
> every build cycle.
