Retrieve all jars from Local jfrog Repository using Maven - maven

Question

I am hosting a Local Repository with 80+ Jar files which are related to our internal Project
Something like this
I want to add a tag in my Maven pom.xml where in I retrieve all the jar files in one shot when I create a new project in Eclipse.
These jars are static and will not change.
Can anyone please help in setting up this?
In Artifactory - "Set me Up", I can see this TAG, but its for pushing a final jar

You have at least two options:
1. Use a parent pom
Add all the 80 dependencies to a POM which looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>your.company</groupId>
<artifactId>ourDependencies</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging> <!-- IMPORTANT -->
<dependencies>
<!-- place here 80 dependencies -->
<dependency>
...
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<build> <!-- optional -->
<plugins>
<plugin>
...
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<distributionManagement>
... <!-- optional -->
</distributionManagement>
</project>
In the project that needs the dependencies, add a <parent> element to the pom.xml:
<project>
<groupId>your.company</groupId>
<artifactId>newApplication</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging> <!-- or war or ... -->
....
<parent>
<groupId>your.company</groupId>
<artifactId>ourDependencies</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</parent>
...
</project>
Keep in mind that every project can have only one parent.
2. Create an archetype
This way is more complex. You can create a simple project similar to "HelloWorld" which contains all the dependencies. Based on this project, you can create an archetype which serves as a template when you create a new Maven project.
