I am using WildFly 8.2.1.
I need to add specific JAR files to the class path. How can I do that?
Do I need to get inside the module hell?
All I need is to add a couple of extra Oracle JAR files to enable using TLS on the data source connection...
When you build your .war file, add them to the /WEB-INF/lib directory. They will be accessible on the classpath from there. In eclipse the eclipse maven plugin, m2e, will do it by reading your POM file, or of course, maven run by hand will do it.
In the POM file, have it packaged as a war
<packaging>war</packaging>
and declare your jar as a dependency.

I have a maven project to which I have to add a external jar jboss-client.jar which is located in Jboss Wildfly 10 bin folder(bin/client). There is no version specified in the jar name.
When I add the jar manually in build path-it works fine.
However, since this is a maven project, I require a better way of doing this.
Note: The project works with only this jar and not other versions specified in pom.xml which I tried downloading.
Also, if I try to specify the external dependency in pom.xml, it asks for version of the dependency. However, I cannot specify the same as it is not mentioned in the jar.
My ultimate aim is to deploy this project in Jboss Wildfly 10.
Is there any other alternate way, I can add the jar?
Copy your jar to some other location and unzip/decompress it, then find Manifest file located at META-INF\MANIFEST.MF path.
Open it in text editor and look for Implementation-Version.
It will give you the version.

You can use maven to install third party library in local.
https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-local.html
Using below command you can install.
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=path-to-file/jboss-client.jar -DgroupId=org.jboss -DartifactId=jboss-client -Dversion=1.0
If I add a JAR file to a gradle project's depenencies, the code compiles just fine, but after publishing to maven (publishToMavenLocal), the classes from the JAR are not found.
Obviously, this is because the jar is added as a "dependency" and not part of the project itself. Is there a way to get the contents of the JAR file to merge into the library? Do I need to make a separate maven repo for each JAR?
You can always try to create a fat jar which includes dependencies. You can follow the instructions provided here https://www.baeldung.com/gradle-fat-jar
I am trying to install some dependencies using maven in a spring boot project.
I am looking for a jar
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:jar:3.1.0
But I wanna know if the jar file should have this name maven-resources-plugin, or if the file name is not important for maven. I mean if maven will automatically know which jar file should use.
I will appreciate any help or feedback.
That is a plugin, not a dependency as such (meaning that Maven needs it for building your project, your code doesn't need it to compile or run).
You should only have to specify the plugins groupId, artifactId and version plus any configuration in your pom.xml, and Maven knows exactly what jar to get and how to use it.
See https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/plugin-info.html for further information.
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'm new to maven.
I'm now working on a multi module maven project, when i use maven war:exploded ,it will packaging classes files to WEB-INF/lib/***SNAPSHOT.jar.
Is there any way to leave the classes files under WEB-INF/classes , for when java file changes, there is no need to replace the whole jar file?
Thanks
