I think maybe you haven't understood what my question means since I haven't cleared my question clearly. :-) Surely I will not put the jar-files in my local repository. But sometimes I have to put the jar-files in the remote repository in the server machine. For example by using spring. The srpnig.jar has no version number. So I have to add the version number to it. In this case I have to create the dir-structure in the repository. And I don't like creating sub-dir for each version number. I just want to put them together under the same dir. ********************************** There is a nice way to do it. Don't start putting your own files in your local repository. Take a look at mvn install:install-file [1] or mvn deploy:deploy-file [2] if you are working with a team.

Now by maven2 I have the same <dependency/> in POM.XML, but the repository structure must be as follow: /repo /jsf-facelets /jsf-facelets /1.1.12 --jsf-facelets-1.1.12 If I have another version of jsf-facelets.jar. I have to create a new sub-dir with the version number such as follow: /repo /jsf-facelets /jsf-facelets /1.1.12 --jsf-facelets-1.1.12 /1.1.13 --jsf-facelets-1.1.13 I find this is more complicated. Is there anyway to do as by maven 1? Regards Thomas --------------------------------- Ihre erste Baustelle? Wissenswertes für Bastler und Hobby Handwerker.
