Hello, I'm new to maven so this may be a bad question. If so, please forgive me.
I'm building a project that includes a lot of jars that are given to me by other groups but that are not in the maven remote repository, there are several of us all working on the same project so for each of us to install the jars and update them as required in our local repositories would be a pain. Plus this would have to be done on our build/test machines as well. I read that I could add pointers to their location on my local file system in my pom.xml and using the system scope but then I would have to make this file system available on the machines of all team members and also on our Jenkins server. Some use Unix, others windows so this is a bit of a pain. I was wondering if I could build a repository on a server here and make it available to all the machines that will build the project. Basically, a local version of the maven global repository. Is that a good approach? I looked on the mail archive and the doc but didn't find anything. I did find this: http://www.mkyong.com/maven/how-to-include-library-manully-into-maven-local-repository/ Is this correct? I'm running maven 3.0.3 and I don't have the install plugin so I guess that would be step 1. Have I got this right? Am I heading in the right direction? Any advice would be appreciated. Saludos, Alec
