Within the Merlin system there are two repositories - one repository is
the Merlin internal system repository ${merlin.home}/system which is
intended for exclusive use by the Merlin application. The second
repository (commonly referred to as the application repository) is made
available for application jar files such as your abc-1.0.0-jar - this is
located under ${merlin.repository).
Now - two things:
(a) your existing setup should work assuming you have your
maven and merlin system repository in sync.
(b) but I'm going to suggest that you do something different
Before going further, what is the directory into which maven is
installing your jar file following a build?
