Maven, how to add additional libs not available in repo

Question

I have a maven project that has a set of library dependancies that are not available via any maven repository. How can I add those libraries to the pom? I want to do this s

Answer 1

You have 3 options:

• Add your libraries to your local repository via install:install-file (obviously, this is not portable, you won't be able to build the project on another machine without doing the same).
• Install and run an "enterprise repository" like Nexus, Archiva, or Artifactory and add your libraries via deploy:deploy-file.
• Setup a file based repository as described in this previous answer and put your libraries in there.

Then, declare your libraries in your pom like any other dependency.
