What you can do is just manually copy it into the maven repository where you installed everything. There will be a repository directory. Create a directory in there called 'bob', and then a subdirectory called 'jars', and put the jar in there as bob-1.0.jar. When you run maven afterwards it should find it :-) -- Andy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
