So are you just running mvn compile or package and not install? Dependency wants to find them in the local (or remote) repository, if you haven't run install, they won't be there. If there is some other use case that prevents you from running install, then file a jira enhancement against dependency. I may be able to find a way to locate the jar in the build tree if a flag is set, although I personally can't think of a use case for this. (and I'm pretty sure it would only reasonably work in a multi project build, ie if you just built one of them, I might not be able to locate the dependent jar)

In order to do that, I'm trying to use the codehause dependency plugin to copy my webstart application project jar, it's other project dependencies, and some 3rd party dependencies into a directory in my webapp output so they will become part of the resulting war. I'm trying to do something along the lines of the first suggestion at codehaus for the webstart plugin, just not using the webstart plugin itself, just the dependency plugin. http://mojo.codehaus.org/webstart-maven-plugin-parent/webstart-maven-plu gin/howto.html I'm running into the problem that the dependency copy won't copy my own project jars common.jar, and webstart-client.jar saying it can't resolve the artifacts. I guess it's looking in the repo and not finding the jars. The dependency:copy plugin is working fine for the 3rd party dependencies, copying them into the appropriate place. The build is just balking at copying my own jars that were created earlier in the multi-project build. So I guess the crux of my question in is, how can I copy the resulting jars from the other projects in my multi-project build into a directory in my webapp before it gets packaged? Any help is appreciated. Here's the error _____________________________________________________________ [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.
