I can recommend that you install the Nexus repository. You can easily upload libraries like Language Tool and it will find it right away. It has a lot of other benefits as well and makes using Maven much more pleasant. It can proxy all the other repos that you use and that makes you worksta

Did you use Maven to install the .jar, or did you place it there manually? Maven provides a built-in way to install a 3rd party jar to your repo, creating a POM for you: http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-local.html On Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 6:06 PM, Ken Egervari wrote: >
