Hi Emmanuel,
Please correct If I did not understood correctly :-

1) I will need to create directory structure like a repository for my
library files something like this :-

lib-|
    |
    xerces |
             |
                jars
                        +xerces-1.0.2.jar


Is my structure right?

2) Then I need to add this line to build.properties (Is this correct?) at
the same path as project.xml
maven.remote.repo =
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven,file:///c:/project/libraries/lib
(lib is the path to my lib folder)


Then for the second (bad) option :-
Could you please tell me the syntax for addpath tag. I guess we might have
to use this option since our libraries are coming from CVS and it would be
difficult porting them to differnt directory structure (that will need some
discussion).

Thanks for inputs.

Regards
Tapan

The best way:
Maven works only with repositories (local and remote), but you can define a
remote repository with the file protocol.

maven.remote.repo = http://www.ibiblio.org/maven,file:///<your_directory>/

If you use the file protocol, you must respect the repository structure in
your directory.

The bad way:
You can write a maven.xml, and add all you jars present in your lib
directory to the maven classpath with addpath tag.
