In one of our project we are planning to generate multiple jar files (basically libraries, which contain no dependencies) .
We would like to upload these jar files to local maven repository (Archiva looks good, we are also open to other options) so other developers can simply use them.
(Single jar file deploy works great)
PS: We are using maven.
Thanks in advance.
When you build your jar files with Maven, you simply call mvn deploy (having a correct settings.xml) and the jar goes into your Maven repository.
If you have jars not built with Maven, you can use mvn deploy:deploy-file to upload them.

I have a Non-Java Maven project. By default the deploy goal generates a JAR file, however I would like to generate a zip file instead that should be published to nexus at a later phase.
If I create the zip file manually and place it in the target folder, Maven is not publishing it to nexus, it only publishes the JAR file automatically created.
So my question is: Is there any way to upload to nexus all the content of the target folder? If not, how do I tell Maven not to create a jar file and create a custom zip instead?
Maven has the deploy:deploy-file goal which can be configured in your pom.xml It can be used to upload arbitrary files, including zips.
You can avoid the creation of a jar if you change <packaging> to pom.
I'm creating a base framework and distributing it as a jar file. Other developers will use this jar in the web application. others are going to use mvn install:install-file to install the jar in the local repository.
if i try to use the jar in the war , the jar dependencies(jar contains the POM file) are not available in the war. Then i included the pom file in the install command then it worked correctly.
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=path-to-file -DpomFile=path-to-pomfile
The jar file already contains pom file with dependencies,Then why do i need to include the pom file in the install command explicitly.
Is there any alternate ways to pull the dependency available in the jar(POM file) to the war file. otherwise unnecessarly i have to provide the jar and POM file to others.
Thanks,
Sampath
The war project should have its own POM file specifying a dependency on your jar project. In this way, when you build the war, your jar and all its dependencies would be pulled into the war automatically.
In order to distribute artifacts among your fellow developers you should install a repository manager, such as Nexus.
I have a dependency application jar from other maven applications,and currently added it to my application path,
I want to know how this application related jar can be automatically moved my local repository folders.
I think it should be placed in somewhere in maven project folder structure so that when maven build the module it automatically moves to the repository.
Dependent project:
If built with maven, you would issue a mvn install, when building it.
If not built with maven, install it locally using mvn install:install-file

The problem is like this
I have a maven build of my project already. But I have a requirement wherein I need to replace a .jar file located in WEB-INF/lib folder with another .jar file. This new jar file can be downloaded from a link.
What changes do I have to make in the pom.xml file to achieve this requirement. I tried to find out ways to do it but could not figure out the exact solution as I am a novice in Maven.
Assuming that the jar file is not found in any public maven repository you can install it in your local repository using the install plugin mvn install:install-file ... and refer it as any other dependency
I don't have a Maven project. What I have is a jar with the pom.xml embedded in the file. When I deploy this via the Artifactory GUI, Artifactory finds the pom and deploys it with the jar. It even recognizes the groupId, artifactId, and version.
When I try using mvn deploy:deploy-file it fails. If I extract the pom, and run mvn deploy:deploy-file with the -DpomFile=pom.xml, it works. Is there a way of deploying this jar with the embedded pom via the Maven command line? Or, do I need to extract the pom.xml first?
I have not heard of the possibility to specify the pom file from archive. I think it is unlikely to be an option, because Maven itself is just a light-weight program, which runs with plugins; and it needs some configurations to run with; and all references to plugins to be used are in those files.
Consider writing an Ant script that will extract the file, run mvn deploy:deploy-file -DpomFile=pom.xml and then delete the file.
The solution looks not very nice, I know, but it should help.
This is an Artifactory feature and not standard Maven behaviour.
Keep in mind that, for example, if you use dependency:unpack-dependencies or the assembly plugin to create some sort of über jar there would be multiple pom.xml files within the jar under the /META-INF/ path so it would be very difficult to select which pom was the true pom.
