You can use any groupId that you control, and any artifactId within that groupId.
If you want to force your project to use exactly the jars you specify I would set the groupId to your company's domain name in reverse order, and then pick whatever artifactIds you like. For example on hudson (hudson.dev.java.net) uses some custom builds of specific artifacts (because it needs patches applied, etc) There are two options in these cases: 1. use a groupId of net.java.dev.hudson and artifactId of whatever we care 2. use a custom version string, e.g. 1.2-hudson-1 if you use a (groupId,artifactId,version) tripple that is the the public repos you will run into problems... since you don't know what versions will be released in somebody else's (groupId,artifactId)... if you want to keep theirs, you need to make the version unique (by adding -mycompanyname-1) to the version... and if you need to update it, you go with -mycompanyname-2, etc Otherwise use your own groupId and nobdoy else will care what you do in there (provided you have ownership... e.g. you own the domain name reversed) -Stephen 2008/10/29 Petr V. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Once agian thanks Dave for qyuick response. > > That's what I did to install manually the jar files in repo. > > Are you saying that I could use any random group ids and artifacts ids to > install my jar files in local repo as long as it those match with my pom > file ? > > So I had lets suppose common-logging-1.2 jar file but I did not know the > group id and artifact id for this jar file so I search for this jar file on > maven web site and found group id(gid) and artifact id(aid)[some times there > are more group ids for same artifact id, how do you decide in that case ??) > and use those gid/aid to install jar file manually.
