Re: How to ask Maven to use jars from local drive ?

[Brill Pappin]

There are a few things to do, but all in all this "feature" needs quite 
a bit of cleanup and I've found it to be extreamly important for the 
projects I work on.

1) Add the dependancy to your project.xml file
2) add the override properties to the project.properties
3) This is optional, but I also include a preGoal to copy my "private" 
libs into my repository tree, because not all plugins respect the override.

Here are some examples (copied out of one of my own projects):

project.xml
===========================
      <dependency>
           <groupId>java</groupId>
           <artifactId>javamail</artifactId>
           <version>1.3.1</version>
           <type>jar</type>
           <properties>
               <war.bundle>true</war.bundle>
           </properties>
       </dependency>
project.properties
===========================
maven.jar.override=on
maven.jar.javamail=${basedir}/src/libs/javamail-1.3.1.jar
maven.xml
===========================
   <preGoal name="java:compile">
       <attainGoal name="copy-private-jars" />
   </preGoal>
   <goal name="copy-private-jars">
       <mkdir dir="${maven.repo.local}/java/jars" />
       <copy file="${maven.src.dir}/libs/javamail-1.3.1.jar" 
toDir="${maven.repo.local}/java/jars"/>
  </goal>

Hope that helps, and I'd like to encurage the Maven developers to clean 
this up (maybe make it part of the core so that other plugins respect 
the overrides even iof they don't specifically code for it).
