Thank you Brian, I am now using Nexus Repository Manager, and it does save me from a lot of hassle. It was easier than I thought. I just resisted at first, because switching from Ant to Maven was more work than I thought it would be, so I didn't want to get deeper into trouble with repository

Thanks for the suggestion, but I was already aware of this and I was wondering if there's an easier mechanism? Such as mvn being smart with the jar name and coming up with the group/artifact ID, but I suspect that's beginning to ask too much! This just isn't something Maven can help you

Why not put the jars in a repository? A repository is perfect for containing 3rd party jars, and one of maven's major benefits. Once you do that, you don't need to refer to the jars through a hardcoded path, but simply by a portable artifact identifier. You don't need any special tools or

You could save youself a lot of hassle with a repo manager. You shouldn't use local repos as remote repos because the metadata is different. Also with unmanaged repos, snapshot accumulation will become a problem. --Brian (mobile) On Nov 29, 2008, at 5:33 AM, Alex Athanasopoulos [EMAIL

I think it's because you forgot -DgeneratePom=true. Should fix the problem. Or you can always write the pom by hand if you need to specify some transitive dependencies and specify it using -DpomFile=mypom. It's more work but more reliable :) Another advice, keep a fresh copy of your files or use
