My $0.02: I used to do this, but I've since decided that it's worth the time to take the generated POM from the maven deploy, go back to the projects (where I'm able to), and update the POM to make it into a "real" POM instead of a skeletal one.
I ended up with a large number of dependencies in projects that were essentially transitive, but had to be included at the base level because they were transitive to 3rd party dependencies, not to our actual project. I wish people who packaged deployments to central would do this more often. I also suggest making sure that you separate your internal repository from your [internally-deployed EXTERNAL/3rd party] repository. It's made a lot of difference since I could make one of my ongoing tasks into "look for public repositories for the 3rd party jars", such as when java-dev-net made the javax libs available.

I deployed them with mvn deploy:deploy-file. I had previously used mvn install:install-file and then copied them from there to the internal repository, but there where no poms. So I then ran mvn deploy:deploy-file. I let maven generate the poms. -----Original Message----- From: Yann Le Du [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 1:51 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: pom files not validating How did you deploy your 3rd party library ?
