I can help you with part. I would like to say I am not a newbie but that would be lying. Here is how to install jars with a generated POM and checksums (MD5). This assumes you have MD5 available
http://maven.apache.org/general.html#importing-jars mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file> -DgroupId=<group-id> -DartifactId=<artifact-id> -Dversion=<version> -Dpackaging=<packaging> -DgeneratePom=true -DcreateChecksums=true Here is the plug in url for full details http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-install-plugin/install-file-mojo.html Phill -----Original Message----- From: Farrukh S. Najmi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: March 28, 2007 9:43 PM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: [DEBUG] Skipping disabled repository Dear Colleagues, I am a maven newbie and am very impressed with it. I have been trying to set up an m2 repo as a shared repo for my open source project at: <http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/maven2/repository/> The reason I am doing so is to have it serve some jars that are currently not available through maven repositories any where but are needed by new maven based projects. So here is what I did: 1. I added the jars I needed manually to my local ~/.m2/repository using mvn install:install-file goal 2. I then manually copied selected parts of ~/.m2/repository tree using rcp to my server However, when I run "mvn install" on a module that depends upon the modules in my team repo it does not get resolved. When I turned debug on with "mvn -e -X install" I found that my team repo was being skipped as it was considered disable: [DEBUG] Skipping disabled repository freebXML Registry Repository Now why would by team repo be disabled? I suggest maven2 include a reason for the disablement in future. I notice that the "mvn install:install-file" goal does not produce pom file or md5 files and only produces jar file. Could that be the cause of the repo getting disabled? Are there options on "mvn install:install-file" goal that will generate pom file and md5 file in local repo? Is there a better way to create a shared team repo with jars that were created from non-maven projects? Lastly, where I can find a definitive reference on the structure of the m2 repository? Thank you for helping me get over the hump with maven2. -- Regards, Farrukh Web: http://www.wellfleetsoftware.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
