Thanks Tim for useful tip, I installed the thirdparty artifact, but did not use the option as you mentioned -- (-DgeneratePom=true). I would do this and let you know the results.
In the settings.xml, I have specified the localRepository pointing to local filesystem, but file:// -- protocol has been specified. Might be that because of the first problems, further stacktrace is getting generated. I would try and see the results. Thanks again for your help!

Regarding the unsupported protocol error: Can it be that you have specified a local file system repository somewhere (project pom, settings.xml) like this: <url>C:/PATH/TO/REPO</url> and forgotten to put the protocol part in front ('file://') so it tries to interpret your drive letter as a protocol? 2. Regarding the not found pom when you install an artifact to your local repository by hand you need to provide a self written pom (-DpomFile=mypom.xml) or tell maven to generate a stub pom (-DgeneratePom=true). Otherwise it tries to fetch the pom from Ibiblio and of course fails doing so. -Tim Sharma, Jaikumar schrieb: > Dear Maven users, > > I was just trying to install an third party artifact into the local > repository, it got installed but when M2 tries to parse the pom, I get > the following error.
