How do I install modules into the maven repository using Netbeans embedded Maven?

Question

I have the Maven plugin for NetBeans and it successfully set up a local repository for me. Now I need to add a 3rd party library (specifically Oracle JDBC driver) to my repo

Answer 1

What you could do (at least in NetBeans 6.5) is following:

• add dependency to the library in your pom
• go to Projects->your project->Libraries (you should see the library with exclamation mark)
• right click on the library, choose 'Manually install artifact'
• select the jar from local drive, 'Install locally' and you are done!
