How do I use checked-in jars with leiningen

Question

We have some 3rd-party jars checked-in to our project. We\'d like to add them to the classpath. That\'s it. We don\'t want to set up a local maven repo (because that would b

I'd like to elaborate on @Jared314's excellent answer that helped me as well.

Below is a script that automates the process of adding multiple jars from a local lib folder to a local repository:

#!/bin/sh
export LOCALREPO_USERNAME=
export LOCALREPO_PASSWORD=

for file in lib/*.jar
do
    name=$(basename "$file")
    basename=${name%.jar}

    echo "Deploying $basename"

    artifactId="local/$basename"
    lein deploy localrepo1 $artifactId 1.0 $file

    echo "[$artifactId \"1.0\"]" >> dependencies.log
done

The list of Leiningen dependencies that can be added to project.clj is stored in dependencies.log.

Before running the script, :repositories entry in project.clj has to be updated to allow for reading repository username and password from the environment:

  :repositories [["localrepo1" {:url "file:myrepo"
                                :username :env/localrepo_username
                                :password :env/localrepo_password}]]

This will prevent the repository password prompt from displaying when running the script.
