Is this possible? If so how? You don't you put it where Maven expects it. The user guide clearly explains where to put the JARs. Because we have a structure in place which we have been using for 4+ years since this project's inception and 30+ developers that don't take kindly to change. The structure will remain as it is. If Maven's dependency checking can't be adapted to fit our project then we will not be able to use this feature of Maven. So if I can't actually use the dependency download feature I would still like to use to documentation portion. Is there a way I can have the goal/build continue even if the file wasn't able to be downloaded or wasn't on disk? Sorry to disappoint you - the answer is: NO Note that only one developer out of those 30+ needs to create intranet repository and populate it with your jars or other artifacts. Other developers will have those those artifacts (dependencies) downloaded automatically by Maven. Michal
