Re: project specific local repos
I ended up with a tradoff and now ship any custom libs as a dependency
of type 'system',e.g.
dependency
groupIdorg.chiba/groupId
artifactIdchiba/artifactId
version1.2.0/version
scopesystem/scope
systemPath${basedir}/lib/chiba-1.2.0.jar/systemPath
/dependency
Other well known public libs, such as the jakarta stuff, will be
downloaded the usual way through public repos. If any of those
downloads fail developers are supposed to manage to download and
install them manually.

First, you need a local repository that contains only the plugin
artifacts needed for your build plus your project's dependencies. This
means setting up a settings.xml that points to this isolated local
repository (probably the settings.xml *and* the local repository will
live in your project directory, but I'd expect that the local repository
would *not* be checked into SCM...ignored, I mean). Then, to use this
settings.xml, you'd have to use:
mvn --offline --settings /path/to/your/settings.xml some-phase
to run the build (offline, so it won't muck around with trying to access
a remote repository). To keep this consistent, you may want to create a
shell script or batch file in your project directory that would wrap the
'mvn' command line invocation, and inject these two options. This would
be the entry point for your users to build your project. Now, if you're
looking to locate this project directory on a CD, you must make sure
that you're able to park your compiled classes somewhere writable, maybe
in /tmp or something. You'd need:
build
outputDirectory${java.io.tmpdir}/${artifactId}-${version}/outputDirectory
/build
in your pom.xml, to redirect from /target to this new working directory.
I *think* that would do the trick for you, but you'd have to check me on
that. Also note that it's possible that the outputDirectory redirection
has some bugs in it, as it relies on each plugin correctly referencing
${project.build.outputDirectory} in its output path construction, rather
than simply ${basedir}/target or somesuch.
Good luck, and let me know how it goes! :-)

What I like to do is to ship my maven project as it is including a
repository with all dependencies (which includes non-public jars or
patched jars). So even when the sky is falling and the last public
repo is gone, I can be sure my project compiles fine and I'm further
able to distribute it to others. Is there any standard way how this
could be done with maven? I'm aware that this possibly goes against
the whole 'no binaries in cvs' idea but I really wonder why I have to
setup my own remote repo and - even worse - why everyone else who
likes to work on the sources will have as well, just to keep some
control over artifacts.

Hello
Whats the best way to distribute your project if you need to provide
all artifacts incl. dependencies with your release? E.g. if you want
to ship everything on CD, or just have a lot of artifacts that are not
available on public repos.
I wonder if it would be possible to create a project specific local
repo that is refered to from pom.xml? But as far as I could tell
theres only a config option for remote repos and I didnt have much
success with it.. Am I missing something or how would I do this?
