OpenCV-2.4.4 POM entry Tag - maven

Question

I am starting OpenCV in Java and want to get started by creating a maven project.
For that I am using OpenCV-2.4.4 jar.
But was not able to find out the pom entry needed for that jar to be included in the dependency.
Tell me if I am missing something too trivial. Or where to find the POM entry for the same.
All I was able to find was the pom entry for the google version:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.googlecode.javacv</groupId>
<artifactId>javacv</artifactId>
<classifier>linux-x86_64</classifier>
<version>0.3</version>
</dependency>
But I need the pom tag for OpenCV-2.4.4.jar

Answer 1

as far as I can see from the http://code.google.com/p/javacv/#Quick_Start_for_OpenCV_and_FFmpeg you should:
point your pom.xml file to the Maven repository
http://maven2.javacv.googlecode.com/git/, and make sure that the
library files of OpenCV and FFmpeg (*.so, *.dylib, or *.dll) can be
found either in their default installation directories or in the
system library PATH, which under Windows includes the current working
directory.
To add new maven repo, you can follow:
http://www.mkyong.com/maven/how-to-add-remote-repository-in-maven-pom-xml/
afterwards, it seems you can go for the latest version of javacv (present in repo):
<dependency>
<groupId>com.googlecode.javacv</groupId>
<artifactId>javacv</artifactId>
<version>0.5</version>
</dependency>
or maybe, as you specified (with platform specific classifier):
<dependency>
<groupId>com.googlecode.javacv</groupId>
<artifactId>javacv</artifactId>
<classifier>linux-x86_64</classifier>
<version>0.5</version>
</dependency>
UPDATE:
Sorry, I seem to miss the point with my previous answer. If you're trying to go with the OpenCV java bindings rather than JavaCV (http://code.google.com/p/javacv), there seems to be no maven packaging provided yet.
As the official tutorial uses ant only (http://docs.opencv.org/2.4.4-beta/doc/tutorials/introduction/desktop_java/java_dev_intro.html)
Moreover there is an open bug for what you expect: http://code.opencv.org/issues/3097
So the only option seem to be wait for resolution of the bug and use another way in the meanwhile.

Answer 2

I know OpenCV developers are working to make a public maven repository for Java bindings, but I've made an example that shows how to do it, pretty much like Java OpenGL deals with it.
The full example can be retrieved from:
https://github.com/JavaOpenCVBook/code/tree/master/chapter1/maven-sample
Remember to add the github repository, as pointed by:
<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/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>javaopencvbook</id>
<url>https://raw.github.com/JavaOpenCVBook/code/maven2/</url>
</repository> </repositories>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> … </project>
For now, there are only windows 64 and 32 native jars available, but it should be easy to add your Linux/MacOS version of it.
Best regards,
