If its really that much work, you could merge all your jars into a single huge jar, then you only have one jar to install and one dependency to add to your pom.xml files.
But more seriously, Maven does not have the ability to utilize jars in lib folders. The only way it gets dependencies is via the <dependency> node in the pom.xml file, which requires that your artifacts be installed in a Maven repository. A while back, someone wrote a little shell script which installed all jars in a directory with a standard groupId and version (and utilized the file name as the artifactId), and then produced a report at the end with all the <dependency> nodes for all the artifacts just installed. They sent the script to this email list, so if you search Nabble or Google, you should probably be able to find it. Wayne On 6/1/07, CasMeiron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I dont think u can do that. Maven uses repository (groupId + artifactID) to find urs dependencies, its not that hard to create them using maven install command line. U should try.
