Hi Dipankar,
You can not add jars from any local directory to maven. But, if the jars
exist at some path like <some-path>/abc/jars
Then you have to add a private repository in pom.xml as
<repositories>
<repository>
<layout>legacy</layout>
<id>AbcRepository</id>
<name>AbcRepository</name>
<url>file:///<some-path></url>
</repository>
</repositories>
and give the dependencies as
<dependency>
<groupId>abc</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>4.4</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Basically, if you give layout as "legacy" then it will search for the
pom at the location repositry-url/$groupId/pom/$artifactId-$version.pom
and will search for the jar at the location
repositry-url/$groupId/jars/$artifactId-$version.jar
So, in your case you can use the following two approcahes :
1. you move your jars from library C:\lib to some directory say
C:\abc\jars and use the above snippets
2. write a script which will create the folder structure
$groupId/$atrifactId/$version and copy the jars in this directory, then
you can use the approach the Samuel has suggested.
I will suggest to use the second approach.
But, the best approach is to use the maven repositories and with the
m2eclipse plugin, you just have to type the name of the jar, it will
automatically give you a list of all the matching jars, then you select
which version to use and it will automatically modify the pom.xml

Not that I know of. And I believe there is not.
The maven way of managing dependencies is to declare those in the POM (or to
get them transitively for maven2), using libraries from a directory would go
against that.
Hope it helps.

Thanks Samuel..
However is there any way to include all libraries that are present in a
particular folder.
Say i have 20 odd jars in C:\lib folder?

Hi,
you would have to use the system scope. See the system dependencies
section
at
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html
.
However I would recommend you create a private repository internally to
your
company so that you can more easily share those dependencies with your
team.
This way those dependencies will work the same way as any other maven
dependency. Consistency is good.

I have a WebSphere Portlet project which uses many IBM jars(Available
at
installation directory in local system).
I need to use these jars while performing maven build.
How do i specify the location of the jars so that maven uses the jars
from
local location rather than download from remote repository.
Is there any option like specifying the local jars in
project.properties(available in maven 1.1)
################################################
#
# Register local jar files to maven. This prevents maven from

################################################
maven.jar.wps = ${wps.home}/wps.jar
maven.jar.jsr168-api = ${wps.home}/shared/app/jsr168-api.jar
Any help will be appreciated
