Excellent. That fixed my problem. It would be nice if the documentation was updated to indicate what needs to be done to prevent this situation: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-install-plugin/install-file-mojo.html
It would still be nice, however, to be able to specify the order in which various repositories are searched. Thanks for the suggestion. -----Original Message----- From: Simon Kitching [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2006 3:47 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: RE: Dependency Management, Prioritize Repositories - Internal,Central, etc. On Wed, 2006-04-19 at 12:27 +0200, Jörg Schaible wrote: > Roye, Suhneel BGI SF wrote on Wednesday, April 19, 2006 12:06 PM: > > > Problem: > > I have a custom JAR (built by our team) installed in my local > > repository, and yet every time I do a build, Maven attempts to > > download it from Central (iBiblio) before realizing it's located in > > my local repository.

True, for SNAPSHOT files. If you're getting this problem with something other than SNAPSHOT files, then did you use -DgeneratePom=true when installing the files? I've been working on doing exactly this kind of thing today, and it's working fine. However if there is no pom file next to the jarfile in the local repository, then maven tries to fetch the *pom* (and only the pom) from the central repository, then gets the jar from the local one. Putting a pom in the local repository fixes that. Regards, Simon This message and any attachments are confidential, proprietary, and may be privileged.
