yes, i agree with Treloar,
in fact, after u have played with Maven for while, very soon, u will
start to hit the bottleneck on jar file management.
UNLESS, u r play Maven ALONE, otherwise, u will start copying jars
from local repository to your friend's local repositories for
synchronization. what a wonderful task!
Maven Proxy is really the KILLER feature that , I believe, will
distinguish very clearly from Ant and motivate all team members to
pick up dependency management!
I was wondering why maven-proxy is not part of the standard
distribution for Maven!!

Subject: Re: Installing 3rd party JARs, how generating the pom?
to deploy in the local repository, do the following:
$mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file> -DgroupId=<group-
id> \
-DartifactId=<artifact-id> -Dversion=<version> -
Dpackaging=<packaging>
for exmaple:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=easymock.jar -DgroupId=org.easymock -
DartifactId=easymock -Dversion=2.0 -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true
anyway, in the future, it is better to setup a maven-proxy and deploy
all 3rd party jar to a department internal maven repository
You have a local repository, a company repository and then you
might have a
proxy which unifies the company repository, ibiblio and other
repositories.
There are two concepts it took me a while to work out. You
"install" files
to your local repository but you "deploy" to your company repository.
As manchi points out you are better deploying these to your company
repository so that it can be shared amongst all the developers.
To install see
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-installing-3rd-party-
jars.html and
include the -DgeneratePom=true as manchi shows.
To deploy see
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/deploy-file-
mojo.html
e.g.:
mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=GROUP_ID -DartifactId=ARTIFACT_ID \
-Dversion=VERSION_ID -DgeneratePom=true \
-Dpackaging=jar \
-Dfile=PATH/TO/JAR \
-DrepositoryId=YOUR_COMPANYS_REPO_ID \
-Durl=scp://YOUR_COMPANYS_REPO_IP/PATH/TO/REPO
The latest version of deploy will now create the checksum files too.
