The times you have to download a jar from a third party project that ISN'T uploaded onto the maven central server. Then you would need to install it. We do this with our third party APIs, the pom is used to add some additional information such as license and where it was downloaded from. As a sidenote, I noticed when testing with the 2.1-SNAPSHOT that it actually required a pom on the artifacts that it downloads and uses as dependency. Thats when i had to setup a pom for all our third party libraries. I don't know if this is a bug, or if it is actually required in the 2.1 release tho. -- Magne Nordtveit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Systems Engineer Offshore Simulator Centre AS http://www.offsimcentre.no/ -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-generate-POM-for-existed-dependency--tp17618375p17621340.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
