Why not just set up a local webserver? That's what we do; works great.
Another reason for doing this as that you can use Maven for combining your
internal projects as well.
Here's how we do it:
Every developper has build.properties in his {user-home}. In this file:
maven.repo.remote = http://your-webserver-address
your can use all the repos you want using a comma seperated list.
To make our lives easier for now (we haven't set up a ssh server yet), we
also wrote two custom targets like this:
<project
xmlns:j="jelly:core"
xmlns:ant="jelly:ant"
xmlns:license="license"
xmlns:maven="jelly:maven"
xmlns:deploy="deploy"
xmlns:resources="resources"
xmlns:util="jelly:util"
xmlns:doc="doc"
xmlns:m="maven">
<goal name="jar:fsdeploy" prereqs="jar:jar"
description="Install the jar in the local repository">
<ant:property name="maven.jar.to.deploy"
value="${maven.final.name}.jar"/>
<ant:property name="jardir__"
value="${maven.repo.central.fileserver}/${pom.artifactDirectory}/jars"/>
<ant:mkdir dir="${jardir__}"/>
<ant:echo>copy ${maven.jar.to.deploy} to ${jardir__}</ant:echo>
<ant:copy
file="${maven.build.dir}/${maven.jar.to.deploy}"
todir="${jardir__}"
overwrite="true"
/>
</goal>
<goal name="jar:fsdeploy-snapshot"
description="Install the snapshot jar in the local repository">
<maven:snapshot project="${pom}"/>
<j:set var="maven.final.name" value="${snapshotSignature}"/>
<j:set var="maven.jar.to.deploy" value="${maven.final.name}.jar"/>
<ant:echo>Building snapshot JAR: ${maven.final.name}</ant:echo>
<attainGoal name="jar:jar"/>
<ant:property name="jardir__"
value="${maven.repo.central.fileserver}/${pom.artifactDirectory}/jars"/>
<ant:mkdir dir="${jardir__}"/>
<ant:echo>copy ${maven.jar.to.deploy} as ${pom.artifactId}-SNAPSHOT.jar
to ${jardir__}</ant:echo>
<ant:copy
file="${maven.build.dir}/${maven.jar.to.deploy}"
tofile="${jardir__}/${pom.artifactId}-SNAPSHOT.jar"
overwrite="true"
/>
</goal>
</project>
using (in build.properties):
maven.repo.central.fileserver = E:/
where E:/ is a local share to the webserver dir.
I know it's better to use ssh, but this works today, where setting up ssh
(on Win) is a bit of a pain right now.
Hope this helps,
