How to include external jars in maven jar build process?

Answer 1

You need use below command to add external jar into .m2 folder

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=[JAR] -DgroupId=[some.group] -DartifactId=[Some Id] -Dversion=1.0.0 -Dpackaging=jar

This will add the given jar in to your .m2 folder. After that go to pom.xm and just add the dependency with given group id, artifact id and version.
