Out of curiosity, why do you need Maven if you don't using it from the command line? The main point is that your build is always reproduceable and work the same from the IDE and the command line.

Anyways, you don't really have to deploy your jars into the local repository. They can live inside your project and declared as system scope with provided path to the actual jar

 <dependency>
   <groupId>fooGroup</groupId>
   <artifactId>fooId</artifactId>
   <version>0.0.5</version>
   <scope>system</scope>
   <systemPath>${basedir}/lib/foo.jar</systemPath>
 </dependency>

However this is a general Maven question and don't really have much to do with the plugin.

Peter,

I do realize this is the plugin list, and 99.9% of what I am doing with
maven is from within the eclipse plugin.
In fact, it is 100%, as I have not even downloaded the standalone maven
app yet.

the only reason I am planning on doing so, is to add jar dependancies
that are not available through the maven repository, such as 3rd party
(commercial) jars.

If there is a way to add them from within eclipse (instead of reverting
to using the command line) I am all for it.

What do you do for this situation?

Cheers,

Andy
